!!!the Setup!!!

[vortech96cobra]

my 96 cobra is almost finished on the build!

> eagle h-beams w/ arp 2000 bolts

> diamond pistons at -18cc for 8:5:1 compression

> melling oil pump w billet gears

> arp main and head studs

> bored .030 over

> sealed power rod and main bearing

> fel pro full gasket kit

> v-1 strim (soon to be t-trim intercooled)
Just wondering if this setup is strong enough to handle up to 800 hp on 20 pounds of boost and a little shot of nitrous... i know the t-45 wnt last

 

[TwinTurbo4vGT]

the t45 will last about a minute tops, dont even bother going over 400rwtq or your screwed.

Why so low of compression? I know a lot of people associate running low compression with being able to dial in more boost, on pump gas, but with even a decent tune you can run higher compression and still run 20psi of boost with 93 octane. You are going to sacrifice a little of down low grunt with the 8.5:1 compression. Of course you can offset that with different gears etc. I would shoot for no lower then 9:1 myself. I am going to run in the neighborhood of 9.3 ot 9.5:1 with a good amount of boost as well.

I wouldnt be surprised if the felpro head gaskets blow on you sould have went cometics

 

[hardcore35th]

Fel-pros blow? Are you joking? They are MLS just like those piece of shit overpriced fluid leaking Cometics.

if I had a dollar for every customer I have had with problems with non-Ford/Felpro gaskets....................

 

[vortech96cobra]

so felpro sucks?

 

[vortech96cobra]

the compression is so low b/c i want to be safe as possible

 

[droptopsnake01]

if by little shot you mean around a 150 shot then yea.

With those stock heads/cams it will prolly make 650rwhp on just boost alone So you will need a nice sized shot to get you there IMO.

Also you are going to need a 8-rib setup atleast.

Not to mention a nice fuel system also.

 

[95PGTTech]

so felpro sucks?

quite the opposite. I was saying people have problems with gaskets other than OEM or felpro...




I think you may regret your choice of static c/r. while safe, it's a little overly safe, and could really make your car a dog off boost. I hope I'm wrong.

My motor is 8.5/1 cr and it pulls very hard, i am even running 3.55 gears. As far as not being fast down low i have noticed that a bit, but with suspension you would be able to raise the rpms to the sweet spot before you left the line. It is only for a fraction of a second and is not really that bad, but then again i am also running stage 3 blower cams. So i may have it a little worse than you will, and like i said it is really not bad at all. Esp. for the piece of mind.

Be better off getting that T45 built than a stock 10-spline T56. However that T45 will last as long as he doesn't go launching the car at every light or dumping the clutch, it will make some high speed highway pulls.

the 10 spline T56 isnt really a better option.

you will need an upgraded input shaft.
promotion can build what you have for less than you will pay for any upgraded trans.

[vortech96cobra]

yea +1 for promotion. thats in the to do list

 

[BLWN32V]

get a tko 600! from MMR...
http://modularmustangracing.com/

they call it the MMR Pro Trans 900. A buddy of mine just put it in his whippled cobra. it is pretty sweet and probably the strongest 5 speed available for the price.

Don't Termi's have 8.5:1 C/R?

 

[rev440]

Don't Termi's have 8.5:1 C/R?

Im pretty sure this is correct.

 

[Helomech74]

Terminators also use a PD type blower as well, so the torque response is different then a centri blower.
