Video - 257whp NA

[Toolman]

I really wanna know the kind of head work that was done to this thing make the wonderful power and noise it does!
Awesome running car you got there!

and what cams and pistons are in it.

I still need to get in touch with the speed shop that last worked on it. I know Mike Courtney did the original build that included the head work, and it is visually evident when you have the intake off. But I recall him telling me it was stock cams, and I do not recall him saying anything about higher comp pistons, so that must have been the last owners doings.

Remember that I am running a stock 3.2 bottom end.
I only ran a few times at the drags off the bottle.
#1 I ran a 14.2 at 101.98
#2 Good question? I thought I heard through the grape vine that the mark was 268WHP.

Cool cool. I would LOVE to see a high 13 NA, that would be fun. There is certainly still power to be had in both our setups, you by getting some high comp pistons, me by tuning.

Still, even if I never make another extra hp, 85whp/L is smoking (103chp/L, or 30 more hp per liter than stock!)

I was thinking about a turbo setup, but this has me thinking about n/a build and not sweating reliability as much. decisions...decisions...

Sounds so good, has a hint of a flat 6 sound in there...

Fwiw Tim and I both had turbo sho's that were dead nuts reliable. **** i drove mine down to nc and ran 13.1 and a number of other passes without a hiccup. Then drove it home the same day. I dont like the way cammed shos act without some serious tune work. My turbo car literally drove like stock.

I do like the simplicity of an N/a engine bay tho.

My cammed SHO works Perfectly fine, with no tune other then the idle being raised to 900. :wave:

I totally agree with this, I have the car from the posted dyno sheet. The car was very drivable with a catted y-pipe on it, but once i put on the headers and a 69mm tb, it did get harder to drive. The headers made the car VERY throttle responsive, it can be hard to take off because it tachs up too quickly. I think this is mostly due to the design of the headers being equal length, I haven't seen too many sets of these. I really do want to re-dyno, Im sure it lost some torque obviously, but it screams up top, I can't imagine it not having more HP. Tim, I sold a set of Wiseco pistons that I had custom made through a shop here in town. They sent them a 3.0 piston and they pretty much copied it (not was I was looking for). Im not sure if those would have had higher compression or not, I wonder if they ended up in your car.
Awesome numers none the less.

I know I am a little late to the party on this but, ..... Tim the dyno sheet you posted uses STD correction factor, it "normally" shows about 3% more than SAE. As you get into better weather conditions and colder temps, the difference compresses to 1% or so.

I would like to know what BBB the car has, from looking at the dyno graph I would almost say it either has a ported intake and/or removed butterflies.

I agree. I dont think the BBB are installed. (completely gutted/removed)

 

[Toolman]

It has bbbs and Eh intake. Gasket mstchted to the ported heads.

Oh didnt see this. To one's fine is another's fudged up.

I don't get it?

The only difference between my car and a SHO with factory cams is the power delivery and it has a lopey Idle. Other then that, it drives exactly the same (as in no loss in drivability).
