Project 331 is now finished being tuned. Most of the engine mods are based in my signature. Naturally aspirated, 5.4l v8---351HP@6000rpm at the wheels! Carnut, lets get together get some pics of the motor n' stuff. Also just to let everyone know this is WAY higher than i expected. I was only shooting for around 330HP at the wheels but the guy that ran the dyno was a genius and managed 21 more HP out of it. I was like :eek:

wow great numbers man. that should put you well in the 12's.

Damn you 5.0 people make power easier then the turbo people. :thumbsup:

not necessarily. he did alot of work to that engine. he even upped his displacement since a 5.0 is technically a 4.9 so he upped it by another .5 liter. also all use turbo guys have to do to hit that power is by upgrading the turbo with accompanying fuel mods. hell a stock evo can make that power on a stock turbo. or a supra can make 450whp from bolt ons.

Yes well, Redneck is gonna have his hands full when he comes down. I dont' fear his car as much anymore ;) j/k he's got a good car but i love mine :)

Damn nice numbers man.


I'm all for a challenge. Although, my clutch is starting to slip in 4th-5th gear. :(

I can't really afford to replace it currently, I could but it'd put me in the red for a while and I'm trying not to do that. So, hopefully soon I'll get that all redone. But I seriously doubt it'll be taken care of before November.



But I'll still give ya a go. Just hope it holds together long enough for the drive out there, and some 'acceleration tests' and the drive home. A good 800-900 miles. Eepp.:eek:

Wow, that thing is going to be pretty damn fast. You guys should get some videos of you two racing, that would be awesome.

Very nice numbers...got any future plans?

I was exaggerating

Hehe, excellent numbers.

I got your message regarding this, last night. I worked OT, so I didn't get a chance to call you back.

Well, a 'race' between us will be VERY different now, you think?

So, what was changed, from when you text'd me with the 260WHP number (pre-tune), and when you left me the message?

Shows you what tuning can do to imporove a motor's output.

wow, that's impressive!


/crys

i need a boost controller :'(


will you be at the pavillions on sat?

naw i wont' be at the pavs. that's a hella long drive for me. on a new motor i'm still going somewhat easy on it until about 500-600 miles to get it broken in fully. Even though it might already be broken in. We ran 24 times on the dyno 2000 to 6000 all within 1 hour time period. pretty crazy.

Carnut: Yeah basicly the only thing that Keith (dyno tuner) changed was the air/fuel across the entire rpm power band. Then after he did that, started messing with the timing, 4 degrees advance and we were at 352rwhp. 8 degrees and we went back down to 344 (on a previous run we made 345) so he set the timing back to 4 degrees advance and that was pretty much it. most of our time was spent tweaking the air/fuel mixture. He was very surprised at my power numbers. He said usually N/A 331's dont' put much more than 340 at the wheels. But i did my homework :) selected some specific parts and BAM set a new standard at least on HIS dyno that is. :)

4 years of saving up my money, 4 years of research. Cost me between 11k and 12k dollars. But now it's allll done and ready to kick ass and take names hehehee.

Damn you 5.0 people make power easier then the turbo people. :thumbsup:

But turbos sound cooler...lol

yah turbos sound cool......but theres nothin like the sound of a screamin v8

Sounds great man, bet you can't wait to tear up the track. Keep us posted on your ET if you run it. :bigthumb:

yeah i'll definately let you guys know waht it runs when i get it to the track. only one thing though. I'm gonna run 1/8 mile first to get an idea if i'm close to 12.3 then i'm gonna need a rollcage, and i dont' have one so. My first times will be 1/8 mile then i'll go from there.

just wondering, what part of town do you live in?

Anthem area, IIRC.

yeah close to anthem, well like 15 min. anyway.

Where exactly? You know I moved to around the 126th Av. and Bell Rd. Area? It's a new Dietz-Crane development called Rancho El Mirage, so I'm a lot more north than I was before.
