  • On this episode we head over to Alabama International Dragway to do some testing. I meet up with Finnegan who's trying to run an 8 second pass in the rubber duck firebird. Meanwhile, I'm over here just trying to break into the 6's in the 1/8... The mustang ran a 7.0 in the 1/8 the last time out and since then we added a new camshaft and swapped the rear gear ratio from 373 to 456. It started out like your typical roadkill episode. The brake master cylinder started leaking before I even made a pass. After fixing that we ran a 7.1 at 102 five times in a row. Although slower than before I was impressed at how consistent it was. Turns out we have the wrong torque converter in the trans and the car is an absolute dog off the line. But a bad day at the track beats any day stuck inside!

      That’s not the cam. It’s actually blower surge caused by a rich to lean condition. It can easily be tuned out but a lot of guys leave it that way because it impresses all the 15 year olds at car shows. 😉

    @danmyers9372 Před 2 měsíci

    Yeah that converter was WAY too tight. The car sounded like a car with a big single turbo that took 2-3 seconds to get up into boost. I’m really surprised the lower rear gear didn’t help the car get up onto the converter sooner. Guess it just needs more power!

  • @BrothersBuilds
    @BrothersBuilds Před 2 měsíci +1

    I’m not claiming to know anything, I’m only asking. 404whp seems really low!! I was thinking a small cam bolt on LS would break the 400whp mark, so I would THINK with that big of a blower (that’s a decently rowdy blower), even on low boost, that it would make quite a bit more, right?

    • @aaronliddell4280

    • @stevenbelue5496
      @stevenbelue5496 Před 2 měsíci +1

      I thought it made 505 to the wheel and he said he didnt want to push it with no ring gap in it. Not knowing the boost # and just assuming maybe 10 and some change, on just a cammed 5.3, at first i was thinking it was close to a 100 short but i was thinking turbo not considering parasitic losses so him being conservative not pushing i would assume the #'s are probably right. Plus you really need to spin that f1a94 so everything is probably shifted to the right and probably not seeing the R's to make good pwr.

    A "big blower cam". Show me a cam or blower manufacturer that recommends "big" cams for "blowers". The purpose of a "blower" is force more air and fuel through the valve openings of a "small" cam.
    Heavy duty turbodiesels making up to 50 psi (absolute) of boost and doing so continuously "indefinitely" do not have "big" cams. Or "big" valves. "Big" cams tend to "leak" a lot and defeat most of the purpose of a "blower".
    Same goes for nitrous. No nitrous system manufacturer ever recommends putting nitrous on an engine with a "big" cam because once again they tend to "leak" and that is a REAL bad thing with nitrous. 99% of "nitrous backfires" are the result of wannabe "engine builders" trying to run "big" nitrous with "big" cams that at "low rpm" are always going to "backfire".
    Cam "lope" is due to valve overlap and "leaks" at low speed allowing fuel and air in the intake manifold to get "polluted" with exhaust gas during overlap. The "lope" is actually a lean "miss" moving among several cylinders. The slower an engine runs the LONGER THE VALVES ARE OPEN AND THE MORE TIME THERE IS FOR "LEAKAGE". MORE OVERLAP MAKES IT WORSE. SO THE ENGINE "LOPES" AT IDLE AND THEN "SMOOTHS OUT" OFF-IDLE WHEN THERE ISN'T SUFFICIENT TIME FOR EXHAUST, FUEL AND AIR TO "MIX".
    BASICALLY IF YOU MIX "BIG" CAMS WITH POWER ADDERS SPECIFICALLY INVENTED TO...WAIT FOR IT...ADD POWER WITHOUT ALL THE BULLSHIT EFFECTS ON "DRIVEABILITY" AND DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY THAT "BIG" CAMS CREATE "DOWN LOW" YOU ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT ENGINE FUNDAMENTALS AND BASICS, "HIGH PERFORMANCE" PARTS AND COMPONENTS AND HOW THEY "MAKE POWER" IN AN "ALL MOTOR" SITUATION AND HOW POWER ADDERS WORK.
