nswiss1975, It's a TFS Stage 2 Cam ... you can find the specs online.

That speedo in the center is GPS driven. VERY accurate.

7 and a half inch pistons!!!? HAHAHAHAH..
For some reason I don't think he was joking, I think he honestly thought he was talking like he "thought" he knew his shit.

I wanna see them use EcoBoost in the new 2010 5.0L that's being designed for Mustangs and Australian Falcons.

Now stroke that 5.0 to a 347 with matching heads cam and intake. You think your RX7 is fun now? heheh

Doesn't matter how trick they think it is... It's still a Kia. :-\

Thats what a TFS1 sounds like at an idle of about 550 rpm. Too low.

All Black Mustangs no matter whats under the hood are allowed in BMC. It's a Registry for Black Mustangs. We even have a few non-Black Mustangs in the Club. The BMC btw is an international club.

Hheheh, always wanted to do that to an old set of tires. Looks like fun. That Five-oh sounds pretty mean btw. *thumbs up*

You can definately see the difference in driving style in this video. The WRX seemed to take a higher line in the corners and would break sooner but come on the throttle sooner coming out. Almost the complete opposite of the Mustang driver. Both methods work so I guess it comes down to driver preference. I prefer the break deep/inside line like the Mustang driver myself. :-)

Heheh, actually I havn't got to wrench on a WRX yet or Subaru's Boxer engine for that matter. I'm a Ford Mustang and Toyota Supra kinda guy. :-) Ya know.. Classic American Style(69' Fastback) meets Japanese Muscle. Anyway... I get the same satisfaction tuning just about any engine(I refuse to touch a rotory even though I like the body style of the latest RX's). If it has Rear wheel drive or AWD... I'll play with it. :-)

yup wrxgon, what you descibed(making the valves push harder) is called pumping losses. And like you mentioned. The absolute key to tuning an an exhaust system is tuning for scavenging and reducing backpressure(there will always be a little if scavenged tuned properly). To bad just about all Factory cars roll out with pourly tuned exhaust systems and we Tuner Hobbiest spend wicked amounts of time and money on finding the right setup for each engine we put our hands on.... or hey... wait a min, that's kinda the fun part actually. :-) Or to me anyway.

Only thing backpressure helps is to build up bottom end torque. On these engines with turbo you're looking for peaks in the upper RPM range. Too much backpressure and you only add to pumping losses, which in turns kills HP on the top end. It's in the higher rev's where these 4 cyl/Turbo engine setups are happiest. There's a few articles out there on Backpressure, exhaust pulses, and scavenging effects. Fire up Google and read on. :-)

Actually that's a steam powered rocket. Not just water. What you do is heat 110 Litres of water to 260 degree's Celsius and then "uncork" it.
Old world tech(think old Train steam engines) meets a new application. :-)

All the Supra guys I ever met were 'stang lovers also. As I'm a 'stang guy myself I've also had a long running affinity for the Supra. The only Japanese muscle car as far as I'm concerned. :-) 6 in a row and RWD.... hell ya!

calling b/s on retards here that know nothing of whats in that car. It's a 5.4L TT setup. Not the stock 4.6L with turbo's by any stretch of your collective imaginations.

Those some sick test runs! Would like to see the 30 PSI runs. :)

That looks like a pretty fun and well maintained track. Where is Gingerman raceway? Oh and OldschoolSti, incase you missed it the driver in this vid | | |
