More pics might be soon - I took the stroker for it's first drive today! Having an issue with dying at stops, so I need to go through the system and check for any vacuum leaks. Other than that, I've only done a few part throttle, mid-range burps at 5 psi and the thing is wicked. 10 psi and full RPM should be a scream!

any updates?

Soon. I just finished a week in Chatham, VA at a project and got to Buffalo last night. The math doesn't match the reality as I'm only seeing 8 psi, so I've ordered a 3.6 pulley. It's fueling for 10, so it's a bit rich at WOT. Also found a nasty squeak in the car on the trip in and I think the welds broke on the nut for the UCA bracket. Either that or the bolt stripped, so I need to get under the car tomorrow to check it out. Wednesday I'll be leaving here for a BBQ in Ohio and then we'll be doing a caravan to the Nationals on Thursday. If all else fails, I'll have photos from the show over the weekend. Even at only 8 psi (and seriously fat) the thing is vicious. I was supposed to get to JDM but their schedule is full and I 'm not going to make it.

One other thing I figured out over the last couple of weeks - I don't have the 3.73's the window sticker said I did! I finally did some checking and comparing speed vs. RPM and I do have 3.55's.

OK, updates! I got the 3.6 pulley on and made the trip to the Saleen Nationals over the weekend. First, the tune is still very rich, even at 9+ PSI. We were not someplace where I could stay in it for very long but I was already looking at a 10.2 AF Ratio. I cannot get into JDM for tuning due to scheduling conflicts but will try to get some email revisions tomorrow. I'm registered for the Sturgis Mustang Rally Labor Day weekend and JDM will be there with a dyno, so I'm hoping to iron out any details at that time.

I will say the car is extremely strong, even running pig rich. I'm hanging out in Buffalo this week. If the tune cleans up a bit via email I'll carry out my plan to do some second gear pulls with the G-Tech on the way home comparing sea level to 3000 and 6000 feet. That would make a nice graphical demonstration of the effects of altitude.

Whoa. This thing is turning into a real monster. David wasn't lyin'!

Here's a shot from the weekend with my new '3 x 8' plaque in place. He made one that size and all the details sort of blended, so he kept making it bigger until he was satisfied. This is how it ended up. Sorry I didn't wait longer for it to be fully in the sun.

And ASNG, don't worry about the valve covers anymore - I had to modify them to work with the AN fittings since my painted covers are still out for repair. I do have the vents hanging around.

Damn thats awesome! One of the est looking engine compartments Ive seen as well. Very clean. Mine is still completely stock. I have to do something about that. But I want to see what kind of numbers that thing is putting down!

AllShowNoGo · 08-09-2010, 11:23 PM

Yeah I agree with David. I wanna see what that puppy is puttin down!
