5.4 dohc/turbo modular fox coupe 8.99@155mph

[jmstekguy]

finally got the car out for for licensing, so i left it soft on the tune up/19psi of boost and had the transbrake set low so it could leave and i didnt have to abort any runs. during licensing i found the car was going 125-129 in the 1/8th, but was feeling a little unerving on the 28x10.5 tire when the boost came on. on the final licensing pass the car ended up going a 9.20@142 mph (getting out of it at the 1000 ft or so), i was happy with just that on its own lol. so then i ran the car again and ended up going 2 9.00's in a row at 150mph, after a breif dicussion with a track official he said that i was lifting early and that i need to run it out longer. i ended up going back to the line heatsoaked, and ran a 8.99@155mph!!

yeah season almost over here, so one more track day tomorow night, cool air and maybe a little more timing and leaving with more boost may make it quicker. kmember was a qa1 blank that i made custom engine mounting points for (allows me to run a 2.5" cowl hood)...car looks like a 12 second car, cept the 'chute gives it away lol

Looks great, almost makes me want to put my mod motor setup into my coupe but I won't do it. Love the car man, what turbos?

Nice ride it looks like Steeda's old shop car way back in the early 90's, their black notch was a 9 second street sleeper:rockon:

thanks man! trying to get this thing to make 700 on the motor and then spray on top, i was able to squeaze 630rwhp on my mustang dyno outta the 2.3 but the tune up was pretty kill to get that. the 2.9 is one of the most impressive blowers i have tuned on, cant wait to see what it does. i have a few other turbo cars being done this winter and my lightning, i will post here when i start...
