Thanks, I will be going to the dyno 12/1.

[jezwald101]

recar-

please let me know what you pull....building the same setup,except maybe the exhaust system...thanks jesse

[Blkmamba]

Is that a chassis dyno or a roller style dynojet? The one in Bsistol conn.

[recar]

I don't know I've never been there before.

[jezwald101]

wondering if you made it to the dyno..let us know,,,jesse

[68 Touring Car]

Jesse, Get back to work before I tell your boss!!!

[jezwald101]

work,,havent done that since i got my car back from paint shop...jesse

[recar]

I had to make 2 trips to the dyno, the first session I ran of of injector. The stockers were tailing off at the top of the pull. The second session was much better, my tuner was able to nail down the A/F ratio.

[jezwald101]

what were your hp and tq # if you dont mind sharing...

[JCMRacing #37]

I'm thinking he would have naturally put those figures in if he felt so inclined...and this car is for competition of course.

[Ted7rns]

Or you can use it for a psychological advantaged.

You could say you have more HP then you really do, which could make people worry about their own.

Or

You could say you have less HP then you really do, which will make people wonder why you’re so fast

Or

You could tell them the actual HP, because people think you’re not telling the truth anyways and think you have more then what you really have.

I don't get what the big deal is Ted, all cars in the Capaldi stable are only making 113-115 whp

Hey... thats acutally true for Team Stock Spec!

[recar]

I don't mind sharing, I have a good safe tune. Max HP 146 , max torque 125.

[brads03zx3]

What head and cams? Are you using a K&N filter?

Thanks for the updates...this is so much fun

[jezwald101]

maybe cause its a spec series, and i think the zetec has a big disadvantage,cubic inch,air flow,cyl heads,over the duratec engine..ranking in at about 160-170hp,150tq....

[recar]

Ironically the Rotten Cherries motor is a stone.

[jezwald101]

a stone????what is that????

[brads03zx3]

I take that to mean stone stock. Oil pan to valve cover, as it was from the factory. That looks like quite a decent dyno with pullies, a header, and an intake manifold.

[jezwald101]

i was thinking stout!!!my jackson sc car only has 140hp,,146tq...but i heard rumors of a 170hp150tq duratec in the works....not so good for a zetec racer.....

[brads03zx3]

Well, following a recipe similar to this:

http://forums.focaljet.com/cfm/55604...yno-zetec.html

Should net a pretty capable zetec. Changes required would be the FR head and cams, and 7200 rpm limit. The FR intake would also help the setup breathe.

I know that Evans Racing took the car I raced a Mid-Ohio in 2006, added all the Spec Parts and made around 160-165whp in his Zetec. They also believe they can get more out of it, but have keep it that way because they mainly use it Enduros.

Now, speaking of advantages and disadvantages... I have read that just about every motor we used has a disadvantage. So, I think we have it right now.

[recar]

I'm more interested in durability at this point. >HP=<$$

Let The Rotten Cherry get some air today, she was starting to ferment!
