And Bill I think the FRPP 4.10 war gears are next mod for me. If I have to fight the warden then I'm going big so it may take a few months but when I win it will be good.
I found a good place in Southeast Houston (PSI) that will do it parts and labor for $500.

Let me guess.. the Rotorpros drilled and slotted rotors?
May have to resort to the Tequila. That usually works all the time.
Miss this post? #9512
Like this one?
One more quick test drive tonight with the warden in the car. She was hanging on for dear life lol
It pulls so hard till 6k+, everything a mad man would ever want. This is the best mod.

Post up pics when you get them on.
$500 for gears and labor sounds like a good deal. We'll talk later when you get the approval on the exact gear part number you'll need.
That about answers it.

Correction
Gears of War lol
Yes I'll get exact part number info when I ge to the approval stage to make sure my installer is good with the parts I want.
Thanks Bill
OK I'm checking out until tomorrow

Sorry that I can't keep up - I'm not ignoring any of your posts. I'm reading them all.
Dave and I are leaving now with the 2 cars headed for Daytona Beach. The car show is right on the speedway's infield. More importantly, though, is the dyno.

Wish me luck - hopefully the 3rd time's a charm.
Goal #1 = 331 BHP (264.8 RWHP)
Goal #2 = 300 RWHP (375 BHP)

That was 1AM my time Billster
And where are you now, beauty sleep I suppose?
Up and adam there work to be done pal
I'm going out to the car, jack it up and put a it more dynamat under the new MGW I installed. I think its still to noisy. I can hear engine start up noise and transmission noise and road noise even though I used the dyanmat ad sound barrier supplied by MGW. I'll post up some pics when completed Sargent TacoBill

I don't get the dyno goals. Goal 1 is the magical 1 HP per CID. But, goal 2 is just a benchmark figure?
I thought you were using the RWHP/.85 formula? Or was that only for Manual S197's?

You really have to cram the Dynomat under the shifter base until it contacts it on all 4 sides (under the car). Once done, it should quiet things down. If not, just crank up the Shaker with some Linkin Park.

Hot off the press from Florida!
Just got off the phone with Tom. Dyno numbers for the 89 are in...
314.24 RWHP (393 Crank HP)
333.48 TQ
Tom is ecstatic beyond belief!

OK done with the re-work of the sound deadening around the MGW shifter. I probably went overboard but I don't like always having to jack up the car and getting underneath it lol
I got the Dynamat from Carolina Classic Trucks cheap, two packs of 10X10 8 total sheets for $13.88. and it got here in 2 days flat.
Here is what the underside of the shift area looks like now that’s its Dynamatted. Much less noise, MUCH

Goal 1 was the 1 HP to 1 CID, yes. I took 331 BHP and figured out I would need to hit 264.8 RWHP to achieve that goal. (331 x .80 = 264.8)
Goal 2 was the 300 RWHP goal. I took the 300 RWHP and figured out that would equate to 375 BHP. (300 / .80 = 375)
So, I ended up hitting both marks (as Bill already showed ) with 314.24 RWHP, which equals 392.8 BHP. (314.24 / .80 = 392.8) If you figure Torque out the same way (which I can't confirm nor deny), 333.48 at the rear wheels = 416.85 Torque at the flywheel!

For the 87-93 with a T5 manual, it's a 20% drivetrain loss since it's so inefficient.

How are you driving all that power with the Trooper? I want some of that power lol In other words what are the mods you've employeed.
Congrats Tom I'm glad you made your weekend with your numbers.

Where the heck is everyone, you'd think it was a weekend...............A saturday maybe.........................
Yes Bill I'm addicted, the warden tells me I'm always "playing with your girl friend again" (girl friend = TMS) Which I usually respond just a second honey be right with you.......................yea right
Oh and I've been driving the GT all day with the C&L CAI and BAMA 93R and its totally exhilarating. I can't believe how it feels when your in 2nd gear and you start to cross 4k RPM its like after burners kick in god golly miss molly that’s a good mod.

It's carbureted and raw horsepower... no computer... all tuned by me. Jetting, timing, etc. No SCT tuner to plug in. I have to do the research and look at the dyno graphs to determine the springs in the distributor for the advance, stop-bushings for how FAR it advances, the spark plug gap, the carburetor primary jets and rods, secondary jets, idle fuel mixture setting, step-up springs to control vacuum, how soon the secondaries open, rev-limiter, etc., etc....
Plus when I built it, I had to hand pick the cam, the crank, the pistons, the rods, the heads, the intake, the carburetor.... plus I finally found a carbon fiber lined clutch to get all the power to the rear wheels.
THAT's how you get just under 400 BHP!
