So whats the power gains feel like?

Well, the car's fun to drive and will surprise a few, but I want more.
The car made 194WHP/194WTQ on a Mustang Dyno. A few caveats to the "low" numbers are a stock airbox and paper filter, high temps causing reduced timing, and heavy wheels and brakes.
I'm thinking 11.5:1 pistons and 3500 heads to get perhaps 215-220WHP, which should be good for a high 13 in the quarter mile. Depending on what Ben says, it may want a different cam.
As it sits, my Aeroforce scan gauge says about a 14.4 seconds 1/4 mile at 95MPH, but I haven't been to to track yet to confirm - it's usually pretty darn close though.

Whatever exhaust you run has a lot to do with the tone of the cam.....you can barely detect mine.

i can vouch for that mine was signifigantly quieter with the OEM style camaro muffler

then with the chambered edelbrock SDT muffler it's a whole different beast.

i even added a magnaflow muffler in the middle to act as a resonator which helped quiet it down for around town driving but WOT it still screams like a lion. i'm going to set the mufflers up with a flange setup so i can change them out with ease. throw the quieter one on when i want to go out for a sunday drive and then throw the loud ish on for the track.

I'll have to talk with ben when iget the money together for the cam and other parts, i think i'm going bigger than the street/strip, to stock sounding for me lol.
How are the pistons Mfuller, any piston slap from them?

How are the pistons Mfuller, any piston slap from them?

Currently, they're just 1mm oversize Sealed Power pistons. They are basically stock replacements, but come with an anti-friction coating on the skirts.
I have not detected any piston slap.

[bob442]

was that machined or honed to fit? or is that there cleance being 1mm tighter than stock, also do you know if there is a set readly avalible to bump up the CR?

[bszopi]

1mm over is the same as 0.040", so it was definitely machined.

sorry, i'm not thinking clearly, i'm fucking over tired.
