: I am taching out in the 1/4 mile and I need to
: get some more rpms out the motor what is the
: best way to get that done?

:
: The stock cam and valve springs are
: "suspect", most likly the can. At
: what RPM does it "go flat"? Any
: "crackle or pops" (valve float =
: soft springs)
: DD

: no but the car stops pulling around 4300. When
: I get my head back from the shop I will need
: to what with the valve springs to get to
: maybe 5000 rpm so I have some more room to
: go faster without redlineing it for the last
: 100 yards or what ever.

: It could be but with the turbo and the extra
: fuel pump the carb is not really a factor,
: and as for fuel the air/fuel gauge that I
: have says I am still on the rich side. That
: is why I was woundering what I could do too
: it to pull more rpms?

: Andrew,
:
: I asked about the turbine housing, because the
: TBird turbos came in both .48 and .63 A/R
: versions. If you have the .48 version, it
: may be holding your engine back on top end.
: Fyi - the .63 version has .63 A/R cast in the
: turbine scroll. Some of the .48s are not
: marked, and some are.
:
: Fyi - there's a guy with a 440 mopar twin turbo
: that used two of the Tbird turbos with .48
: A/R turbines. His car would not pull past
: 4900 rpm with the small turbines. The way I
: see it, you have apx 1/2 the cubes that he
: has, so if you have a .48 turbine, this
: could be a problem.
:
: Fyi - all the efi 2.3 Ford turbos have the same
: compressor specs - 60 trim. You can have the
: compressor housing machined for a GN Buick
: wheel [it is a T04B style wheel] for more
: flow. This is a common upgrade that the 2.3
: Ford and Merkur guys do. Check this link out
: if you like;
:
: Go to the T3/T4 link at the left.
:
: Btw - do you have the intercooler plumbed
: parrallel, or one after the other? If you
: are blowing from one into the other, I bet
: you are seeing a bunch of pressure drop. You
: could try testing before and after the
: intercollers to see what your pressure drop
: is.
: Dave

:
: I do have the bigger of the 2 turbos that you
: mention. The turbo will push alot more air
: then what I am asking of it. 10 lbs is what
: I am running and it will go to 15 just as
: quick, or more!! As for my intercoolers it
: does blow from one to the other but that is
: all I have room for. The way the frount
: grill and the bumper is I could only mount
: it behind the bumper, Which does not get
: much air. I put a alum. front spoiler on and
: cut the front of the bumper out to get more
: air, I think that is where my car gets alot
: of the power from. I run a totaly stock head
: and bottom end but everything else is
: upgraded
