Winters are long in Northern Ontario, so I was looking for a fun winter project. I had ported the opening of the inlet to better match the adaptor for the bigbore monoblade throttle body, but I thought I would do the rest of the inlet. I know I won't see huge gains because I only did the inlet...
I was looking for a project to do this winter and I thought i would port/polish the inlet on my 3.4 Whipple. I thought it was going to be easy since the inlet is a seperate piece from the rotor housing.
I was wrong.
I got all the bolts out off the inlet, but I could not get it seperated from...
Here is a video of my car on they dyno last weekend. I bought the car in 2010 and slowly modified it over the years. I've changed the blower 4 times, but I haven't touched the clutch Its amazing the stock clutch is holing up with this much power and mileage.
I am running Comp Xtreme energy blower cams 106460 .

They have a more duration than the ones in your motor, but the same lift. Even though I have more duration, I still...
Here is an exhaust comparison video of my Shelby with American racing long tubes/catted x and Stainless works retro exhaust vs my buddy's Shelby with kooks/catted x and borla S type mufflers.
Last year I replaced the O2 sensors with new ones from the dealer. They said the ones for my 2010 were discontinued, but had a replacement sensor.
After I put them in, the car would run good for about 10 seconds, then it would start running poorly for about 20 seconds, then it would clear up...
I sold my 1952 REO 5 ton army truck this weekend. I've owned it for 8 years and I haven't touched it, so it was time to go to someone who could finish it. It hadn't run in about 3 years or moved in about 5, but it only took about 1 hour to get it running....I though that was pretty good lol...
It sucks for sure, but nothing is better than the first drive in the spring time. I cut my insurance down to the basics for storage so the insurance savings go into mod money....and I have lots of time to do them with the car parked from november till may.
Probably the last cruise of the year for me up in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. The weather forecast is calling for rain/wet snow for the next 10 days and I usually pull the insurance for Nov 1st. Made a quick vid of the fall colors and walked around the car.
It was my first time going to the event at this location. I went to a similar event in 2019, but they lost the airstrip rental. I think its the same group, but they changed the name slightly and found a different airstrip to rent. I had a blast and cant wait until next years event...next time...
Here is a compilation video from the race I competed in on the weekend. I am glad that my buddy with his Hellcat Challenger decided to come as well...even though he whooped me lol. Lots of nice high end cars to see and see how fast they were.
Link to the race is in the video description. They...
