Well today we put down 250whp and 250wtq at 12psi on 93 octane on my stock engined SVT. That was also with a safe tune, the only reason we stopped today was the stock clutch decided it couldn't handle any more power and started slipping. The tune is only finished to 6000 rpm (due to clutch failure) we know there is still more power to be had safely.

At 6Krpm the clutch just started slipping, enough that the wheel speed dropped, once the CM stage 4 , Quaife, and Fidanza is installed and a couple hundred miles of breakin are on it the tuning will resume. There will also be a sheetmatal intake, cam gears and the VCT eliminator added as well. We are really optimistic about how much more power can be made, safely.

Props go to Tom and his tuning abilities[thumb]


My kit has a Custom Tubular Manifold with the Garret GT28RS, everything else came from Tom. When Tom sends me the dyno I will post it...........

disco potato, [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]!!!

congrats, I wish I had one.

nice #s, but i said that in the other post!!!

i cant wait to see the final numbers with everything installed and broken in

Ahhh the joys of tuning.. It always shows up the weak link ( your clutch). Pretty nice numbers, sounds like a fun drive...

03-- are you close to picking it up for the drive home?? Mine should be ready this week , we can have a mini/cannonball run from NC to Ohio [:D] [thumb]

Not this weekend, the new clutch will need breakin before we can resume the tuning. More next weekend.........

damn, I'll be trout fishing in Pa. the wkend of the 20th...

damn sweet numbers nice man

Mini-cannonball run !! I like the way this guy thinks ...sounds like a GREAT drive home

Ok, I vote put the clutch and Quaife in tomorrow and let Tom Jr drive the car all weekend to break it in. [:)~]

Then back to the dyno Monday!

Wow. That is very nice results! SAE corrected, right?

Far as I know[thumb]

We're looking to find a "few" more ponies hiding under the hood[8D]

I thought the VCT was only on the ZTECH Engines in the ford escort ZX2?
But, those are some numbers

Close the ZX2's and the SVT's have the VCT, thanks

Absolutey incredible. That is going to be a monster when your done. Wish I could afford 10k worth of turbos and clutches for my car.

Very nice number's you got there[thumb]

yeah, the zx2's had the VCT on the exhaust shaft whereas the SVT has it on the intake

sweet numbers

OK, so how much have you dropped on your car? ($$$$)

And what do you think will be your 1/4 mile times with this setup on 93 as it is right now?

How much money, bunches and bunches....... you would get SICK if I told you how much[:0]

As for times, once I get used to everything ........ guessing mid to low 13's or maybe just a little lower than that. The hold up will be the 6 speed........ I'll bet it'll be HELL in the twisties[thumb]

That's awesome 03Orange! Can't wait till you post up pics and do some tests on your car! Just a hint, is it more than 10K or less? [:D]

Yeah, it will be sweet in the quarter, but it will loose alot of time to big wheelspin [:D] ... but ...who cares?? Sounds like a sweeet ride, especially pulling off the corners for the straights

wheelspin? that's what the quaife is for...

That is true!!![:I] [B)] .... betcha itll still spin some...LOL

Tom already told me that I would have traction problems in 1st and 2nd if I just floor it[:D]

Papo, lets just say that I could have donr the V-8 swap.....[?|]

The 426 hemi had posi too but it still spun the wheels [thumb]

Schweet. I cannnot wait to see this car at the all ohio meet on the 29th :P

Hope you can make it :)

Ahh if I had a million dollars!!......

Orange, what kind of exhuast manifold are you using?

Quaife? Hah. With the Quaife, the LW flywheel and the kind of output he is working with, unless he is running very wide, sticky, or heavy meats, I am sure there will be plenty of wheelspin in 3rd at the drop of the throttle.

I have a custom built tubular manifold thats been jet hot coated[thumb]
