Great job on the video,. The time you put in to making the footage is appreciated. My build is 80 percent done . It's snowing here in Boston and these videos keep me going. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you this year at foxtoberfest. Thanks Matt
@@GearHead704 Possibly but still I think theres something hiding away on your car or something that needs to be tuned out! some boost would fix that 👀👀👀 lol
@@devingullatte3859 some guys make similar power with aluminum heads because their combos aren't put together right and doesn't compliment one another. I'm talking about the heads and cam and intake if your combo isn't right or the cam is too small for the heads or you don't have an intake that takes advantage. This particular combo is just put together right with solid tuning. A good set of aluminum heads with a good matching cam and intake can make well over 300 like 330+ range pretty easy.
Awesome numbers for his setup, torque number is very good. Matt I think you and Harris need to do another driving video, I forgot about the removable steering wheel, honestly I never seen that done on purpose. It must be a Duke thing.
Nice vid Matt. Lou’s car did well. Drive it and enjoy it. Respectable fun there to take to shows and drive anywhere with RELIABILITY! Such a shame quality has dropped in parts like it has. Surely puts a hamper on time and $$. See you guys in the Spring time for sure!
Thanks a lot buddy! Yeah parts have been frustrating lately for sure. Matt went through 4 distributors recently to get one to work. Unreal. Definitely looking forward to see you all out and about!
Thanks for sharing brother. Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Tell TIFF hello. Love ya bro
I bet there’s still 60HP left on the table. What cam does it have? These old windsors perform best with a cam that has a 107 lsa and Gt40’s do an amazing job with some porting
So your trick flow setup was omly 282 at tires ? Did you ever find out if anything was wrong somewhere cutting it back a bit? My 306 victor junior heads performer rpm 2 intake 75 throttle body and anderson n91 595 lift cam made 356 at the tire. What stage cam is in yours ? I realize this video is a year old lol just found your channel
It should have put out more. I think I had some computer issues. Anyway my vert put out 287. The car in this video though is not mine and was restricted by the factory mass air meter.
They are 18'x but I don't know by 18x what. So, I"m not sure :-(. You could check with Harris on his social media (@luecreative) and he also has a CZcams channel. too. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I feel like your vert should be making more power than that with the TFS kit. Maybe roller rocker sizing or maybe your motor was built a tad tight. I know a tight timing change can consume up to 10 HP, which is crazy. The Calypso might have the opposite. it sounds like the motor has a bunch of used parts. I wouldn't be surprised if that timing chain was already broke in. He might be running those Cobra 1.7 Rockers as well. The custom cam is probably perfect for it.
I agree with you, the vert should. We actually found some computer and computer injector harness problems that I think will fix the car the next time it goes on the dyno.
Do you run a stock ECU in your Vert? Also is it an auto or a manual? I believe if you do aftermarket H/C/I then the stock ECU is trash you need something aftermarket just like all the aftermarket stuff on the engine itself. Definitely need to think about that cause a custom dyno tune on a Holley Terminator X would be a better option than that stock stuff!
My vert is a stock ECU with a SuperChip. It is a manual (T-56 Magnum). We are going to build my 347 on a stock ECU with a SuperChip and 90mm MAF and will see how that guys. If numbers are low I'll definitely look into something like a Terminator X.
Great video I see that this car has barely anything done to it and in my opinion makes a ton of power for what it is like you said it would definitely benefit from a new MAF but other than that I think the horsepower numbers would be almost even with yours?. I don't understand there has to be some kind of work done on those heads to be making that kind of power pretty cool though super clean love the way everything has been painted and detailed under the hood another gorgeous 🦊 😍 ... I checked out your new channel by the way left you a comment there and sub'd! Hopefully we get to see those 18in reimagined cobras on Tarheel soon!
Thanks Shifty! I wonder if my 306 may be a little tired? IDK, but I was surprised by the numbers for sure. I was trying to get the 18s mounted yesterday but had some issues getting local tire shops to mount the tires, hopefully next week though! Thanks much for the sub over there, I definitely need to put some more content on that channel soon. Have a great day!
@@GearHead704 well you could kind of get an idea by doing a compression test to see what the numbers are in all 8 cylinders and also what your oil pressure is can give you a little bit of an idea to depending on how the motor was built for bearing tolerances and what oil pump etc... I'm sure Matt from foxresto would be able to give you a good idea once you guys do a compression test I've had a buddy that ran the same setup you are and he was right around 300 so I think you're pretty decent there's other things that you can probably do to gain a little bit to get a little more he had an electric fan and no power steering but if it's a driver and definitely want your power steering unless you do like a Volvo electric pump or something so that kind of bumps it up HP a little bit too! I thought it was really low because I had an Edelbrock set up on my car and I used to put 2-3 car lengths on him every time we ran against each other and he had a fresh motor and his didn't rev as high either but some combos or just odd balls I think my car was gifted one of those Wednesday cars or something LOL
I had gt40 heads. Gt40p intake. Lightly ported stuff. B cam. E85. Don't even think fuel made a difference but that combo made just over 300 to tore. BBK shorty headers. And that's it
@@GearHead704 I heard there were only 500 units. My first one was a auto, this one's a manual. Both are notchback. Both owned by my grandpa. Both from Mooresville Ford. Been trying to estimate how many are still around with original trim. Appreciate the reply 👍
It's been built over the last four years, engine build was done in 2019, it's been down for over a year... I def haven't memorized the parts list through the chaos!
They had an aftermarket 75mm ProAm MAF, but had to go back to a regular 89-93 5.0 style MAF as that was all that was available. Not sure on compression unfortunately.
Not bad for the combo. Im still surprised yours only did 287 with the whole trick flow top end kit . Maybe the tight new rings hurt yours some and now it will make more power now that its broken in. I ran gapless rings in my stock 289 and only got 422 rwhp with a 2 bbl and manifolds🤥🤥🤥🤥 ok im lying its 347 🤣
lol you almost had me! Actually my 306 wasn't rebuilt it was just pulled from my SSP, so maybe it's actually a little tired? IDK, but I can't wait to see what my 349 does. Hopefully this year.
@@hotrodray6802 At the rate I drive this thing that means ill need a rebuild in 50 years cause its not a daily , heck its not even a weekly , might be a bi weekly
Here's a link to the new family channel with me and Tiffany. www.youtube.com/@mattandtiffany
Aye bro can I have your number jus question about my fox in what to do thank you
Awesome Matt ,. I literally just saw this now. 👍
AYEE I KNOW THAT CAR!! Thanks for coming and capturing this moment with us man! Definitely one of my top 5 days of 2022!
Man it was a blast buddy! Thanks for letting me share some of the calypso journey here with the channel.
Pretty much exactly my goals for my 4 eye as far as the basics of the build
Was hoping to see it pop 300
Good numbers and enjoyable on the street. My dyno was done at Dez Racing 306/Gt40p heads 277whp 324 back in 2011. Still running great.
is that with stock cam?

Hey Daryl! 80% man you are so close, so Foxtoberfest should be a blast for you then! Hope to see you there and thanks for watching.
Good to see you both! Keep up the good work. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Jenn! I missed running into you guys at the Foxtoberfest show this year
Great looking car always loved the build. Made good solid power and a great driver
I think so too! Thanks Jamey.
I love this video it shows what can be done on a budget nice video matt
Thanks much!
Thats super good for a gt40 setup, you car should be making a little over 300 to the wheels though Matt you gotta get her dynod again!
Yeah I was surprised, I think maybe my engine is tired.
@@GearHead704 Possibly but still I think theres something hiding away on your car or something that needs to be tuned out! some boost would fix that 👀👀👀 lol
This is exactly why I don’t want to change my gt40p heads because a lot of guys make similar power with aluminum heads

Those are some very good numbers for the combo he has👍
Great looking car also 😎
I thought so too and yes the car is a great looking fox
Good video Matt! Awesome Fox! 💯👊🏾
Appreciate that buddy!
Funny how so little hp feels like a lot on these cars. Mine did 312whp and 315wtq. 302, trick flow heads, GT40 intake and a mystery cam.
Those are great numbers!
I'll definitely check out the new chanel with you and Tiffany.
Thanks VV, really appreciate it! I hope to put more content on there in the future.
Calypso fast back. That is a rare sight. He should not redo the bodywork, keep it as is with the dents and dings. Adds character.
I agree with you KP KP, that's the way I like it too.
That's my plan! This thing has a wild story and I'm proud of every ding and scratch!
This car sounds beautiful!!! Harris is ready to take it on one of those longs ass drives. I remember he drove Grandpa to Florida! I was like 🤯🤯🤯🤯 lol
Yes, I remember that too! He really drives his cars. It's great to see.
@@GearHead704 definitely is!
Very classy fox !
💯

Thank you Tim! Always appreciate your support.
Sure does sound good. 🐺
Not bad my stock bottem end original 302 made 290whp and 311tq on a mustang dyno Ruth a trickflow top end kit and stage 1 cam
Good to know! I think my 306 engine may be a little tired.
You need to vary the cam advance until you hit the sweet spot. Usually good for 20/20.
Yes its a pain on a SBF and costly on the dyno, but ......
I bet there’s still 60HP left on the table. What cam does it have? These old windsors perform best with a cam that has a 107 lsa and Gt40’s do an amazing job with some porting
600 lol. He thinks is has an Elgan cam.

Appreciate that Dan and awesome thank you!
I wonder if they changed springs on heads for cam? Shouldn't be running out of air with that combo. Good numbers though should be a fun car
I'm curious as well. He has been loving it so far.
I bet he did it's making solid power for a gt40 setup

Excellent numbers for a gt40 setup. Even the AFR heads only go around 300 or so depending on tune.
The best heads cam intake setups for stock bottom can make 320+ of its a really well thought out Max effort combo but this is solid for gt40 stuff.
I had gt40 heads. Gt40p intake. Lightly ported stuff. B cam. E85. Don't even think fuel made a difference but that combo made just over 300 to tore. BBK shorty headers. And that's it
Do you know what type of window louvers is on that ride and where I can get them?
Sadly I do not, but you can try asking Harris. He has his own CZcams channel and is on social media pretty much everywhere as LueCreative.
They're an OG set from my buddy's 4-eye. No clue the brand, but I had to cobble together the hardware because some was lost!
Which elgin cam is he running? Great looking car.
Ever seen any Carolina Ford Dealer 25th anniversary edition mustangs? I'm about to own my second one 👍
