Boost is turned up. WS6 bites the dust.

I was talking 1/4, I did see the dyno numbers in your sig. I assume you're in the 12s...just wondering how deep.

[beyondloadedSE]

Wont know that until May 20th also as I'll be heading to Osceola Dragway after the dyno. The contour platform is not built for the dragstrip. I think the best run from a contour is a 2.5L turbo and he ran a 13.2 @ 107. The next is a n/a 3.0L that ran a 13.4 @ 102. Both of which broke stage 2 axles from Drive Shaft Shop which are rated at 300 hp and yet even an all motor 3.0L broke them. I dont see my Stage 2's holding up much longer. Realistically, I probably run mid 13s, although Ill be trapping high enough to run low 12s with 400 whp.

Damn....

I read Osceola Dragway and thought something in Nebraska that is actually fairly close to here, couple hours. Guess I was wrong.

Definitely a highway racer....

I'll race you to the other side of the intersection...AWD baby

Wow man, that's one crazy car. Gotta say, I'd be pretty surprized getting beat by a Contour! Nice sleeper, and a WS6 is certainly an admirable kill.

[danno_SS]

Good kill and nice set-up, 400whp is also what I'm looking get.

[2000LS1Z28]

I believe Danno meant looking to get. I think i'll get a cam when my warranty runs out. More then likely i'll get the same cam as my buddy Steve, since he was able to smog his car. He sees 383 rwhp in his car, and I believe mine was alot stronger then his when his was stock. Anyways, good kill on the WS6. Coincidentally that is the type of car that I own

[drftk1d]

i want to kill a ws6... someday

[mynismo]

yeah, I think seeing that old grandma's drive contours, people automatically think they are slow. The 4 cylinder automatic is definetely a slouch, but what some people dont know, is when the 2.5L V6 svt contour debuted, it had the highest hp/liter in its a year. Not to mention, the heritage of the motor came directly from Porsche. Ford then took Porsche's engine design and "forderized" it...(i.e. shortened the crank, etc) and put it in the contour/mystique. Since then, the duratec still lives on but as a 3.0L version in the 240 hp Jaguar S type, 232 hp Lincoln LS, and about 5 other vehicles. Its the same as the 2.5L but its been bored over another .5L, so it makes a very easy swap since they bolt up exactly the same.

Hectors 4 cylinder isnt that slow

0-60 in 7-7.5 from his is rather impressive.. but of course he's supercharged.

buts its still a slush box.

Forget ET. Trap speeds will show what the car can do. I have much faith that your car will trap over 110mph. Its a beast man!
