well c4 have a hard time after 800hp. lentecs suck past 700hp(i dont care if its rated to 1500hp it dont last). ive seen many people switching from c4's and 4r70w's to either glides or th400's.
th400 is old technology that works. lots of solid parts out there. the one i have is rated to 1200-1300hp but they use the 20% rule.
guy that has the same spec tranny and converter pull'd a mid 900rwhp on a mustang dyno with 27psi on a twin turbo 4.6L DOHC.

Where did you hear that from? I ask because I know 2v's that have nitrous or f/i need more exhaust duration then intake.
True. How high are you going to be revving the motor?

well ive talked to modularheadshop.com, cushman cams, mmr, and crower. if you look most supercharger cams/nitrous they are even or like you said they have more exhaust duration. see im not a 100% sure why....i ran my crower custom cams on my 2v turbo(switch to turbo)..i went through the calls trying to figure out if i need to change them....all the guys said that it actually was a decent cam for a turbo cuz they were same duration i think let me find the cam card.
well i would like to run it up to 7k........but idk depends what it looks like on the dyno. if it makes 900+whp at 6k im pry going to stay there.
ive gone through dynos around here........i like Tom at C&S dyno in omaha.......honest and knows his ****..does his best on the tune......car ran the best its ever ran and drivability is unmatched.

The reason the exhaust duration is longer on blower/nitrous/turbo cams is because with all the heat being created from the blower/nitrous/turbo needs to leave the cylinder as fast as possible so it won't melt the chambers.
I really hope you chose the right cams for your build. To me, they don't look the best but then again I'm sure you did your research and learned everything you could and why those cams are the best for your build.
And is this tuner in Omaha better than the guy here in Lincoln? (Dynosport) I called Dan before and he didn't sound to confident about properly tuning a 100 shot on my stang.

well with the cams think about it. turbos you dont have the "heat" issue like nitrous and blowers...go google turbo cams for 4v's or 2v's. intake duration is higher than exhaust for example:
cms 4v stage 1 turbo cams:
440"/.440" lift, 232/228 .050" duration, 115LSA
cms 4v stage 2 turbo cams:
470"/.450" lift, 239/235 .050" duration, 116LSA
CMS 4v stage 3 turbo cams:
.470"/.450" lift, 244/240 .050" duration, 116LSA
look at turbo cams its different than s/c and nitrous cams.
these are 98 cobra cams which im using.....most people pull 1000-1200hp on stock 03 cobra heads(aftermarket springs) and stock cams.
Mach 1, 03/04 Cobra, Aviator, Marauder, Navigator
Intake: 184 deg @ .050/.397" lift (measured duration)Exhaust: 196 deg @ .050/.397" lift
114 LCs

F6ZE-6A271-AB crosses to F6ZZ-6250-BA
Intake: 202-204 deg @.050/ .397 lift
Exhaust: 196 deg @.050/.397 lift

Dan has done some great work with Modulars. I don't give a **** what anyone says. 99% of the time it is builder error. You can't tune out retardism. And that goes for any shop.
NeverEnuff has a GT with a laundry list of engines. Nitrous SOHC, cammed SOHC, Procharged SOHC, cammed Avaitor 32v, Procharged 32v x2, TT 32v, big bore N/A 32v, etc. He usually hops on SCR to talk **** if he is coming back to Nebraska anytime soon. He exploded his first SOHC on Dan's dyno after telling Dan to keep making pulls even though the car was seeing HUGE A/F spikes. It was funny. :lol: Did he ever blame Dan? **** no.

So is Dan a good tuner? It seems to me a that if a tuner says he might not be able to properly tune a 100 shot on a Mustang, doesn't sound like the best tuner. He did say he thought he would be able to but it seemed he thinks I would need some extra stuff to make it work. I have talked personally to other people that have had their Mustangs tuned by top rated tuners and they said any good tuner can tune a Mustang for nitrous and correct the a/f spike that comes with the initial hit of nitrous, which is why a tune is a good thing.

example dan said one of my banks was running leaner than the other.....i degree'd my cams after each time i went. i didnt understand it cuz they were right on. i went to dan 5times with same engine with a kenne bell on it and nitrous. each time the same thing......after 3 late nights and week or two of my car down there. i told him to **** off and i loaded the car up....didnt take it off the trailer and went to Excessive autosports in souix falls and in 5 hours it was done............supposably the idiot didnt under stand that with MAC long tube headers the o2 sensor on one side is farther back so it takes longer for it to warm up...car ran like a mofo till i had a cam gear failure. then swap'd turbo and went back to excessive they did good job with it.....when i went automatic i went to tom and he made it run even harder with 10times the drivability.
tom is honest and unlike some tuners he doesnt give up. i know "the shop" is also good i guess. i havent gone to them there diablosport not SCT.

well though 10-7sec cars also "usually"run widebands and data log there a/f and tune at the track....they use the dyno to get it close then they mainly tune at the track...then go back to dyno see what it makes.
he pry will be fine at a dynojet...a/f ratio will change depending on how much load is on the car. you cant argue with that. if he is already going to spend the same amount of money why not get a better tune. thats all im saying. also pry be safer.

only 75shot. crower stage 2 at the time when i wasnt built. na just under 300whp....idk what the shot was doing.
i had custom ones with the kenne bell at 18psi was running on and 75-100shot.
reason i like mustang dyno's is another thing saturation.....you could have enough fuel for a dynojet but run out on a mustang dyno....

Wow! 2 totally different opinions on 1 guy lol
I am running a returnless fuel system. With a 100 shot and 24# injectors I will have plenty enough fuel and a tuner shouldn't have a difficult time tuning my car. I will just have to call around before I get it tuned and see what the tuners say about correcting the spike.

I can't say anything bad about Dan but when you walk into C&S and see GTO's, Z06's & F-Bodies and shelves full of LSx parts the choice is easy. Tom seems to have a been there done that story for any GM combo you can think of too.

When i went down to tune my car, Dan was just slow. My cam sensor through a code and he wouldn't tune it because of it. Even telling him to just go on with it, cause its not going to affect it unless i fix the issue.
So i said **** it, strap the car to the dyno and im gonna do a couple runs and see what the GMW puts down. He told me its stupid to do it and it will blow up. I did it anyways and went throught MANY bottles with no issues at all....

Well you can't blame Dan for not wanting to tune or let you do dyno runs if your car had a code whether or not the code was going to affect your car.
I plan on calling Dan again sometime soon and pick his brain and see how he feels about tuning my car for a 100 shot. Should be a piece of cake for him, if he doesn't sound confident, I'm not going with him.

If the code was THAT serious i would have never brought the car down to lincoln. Tom would have done it no problem....
Either way, i just going to stick with Tom. Anytime i have any issues or anything he will always be easy to get into contact with. You can't really do much with Dan until after 6 at night.

The reason for my problems. Not enough fuel, and stock injectors trying to spray a 100 shot with a NX plate kit.
Others with other nitrous kits haven't had problems. NXs 2v plate system hits, and hits hard. That motor lived for a while on 18+:1 AFR on the kit till 4-5k...
Dan is a good tuner and did all he could to help the spike. I did mods to help as well..but some times there are physical limitations...period. He was adding more fuel, but the injectors were maxed. I was making 370+rwhp on a 100 shot with stock injectors and just a focus pump. Thats it. Focus pumps are barely good for 400rwhp on boosted motors, and 19lb injectors aren't worth much past 300rwhp anyway, and thats with upped fuel pressure making them 'bigger'.
Basically I was emptying my fuel rail at the #1 cyl where my nitous take off was, starving that cyl for fuel...leaning it way out...and guess what, that was the cyl to go. oh well...live and learn.
another thing I didn't do that I should have. Installed a FP sensor to cut the nitous if the pressure dropped. If I did that, my motor would have been fine...but I didn't like the idea of nitrous on off on off on off on, till the pressure stabalized...but after a bunch of research...that was better than what happened to my car. lol.
oh well...it was a good time...and lesson learned.
If I had to do it again. I would get the plate kit...a GT pump, some fuel rails to hold some extra fuel to help with the pressure drop, and maybe a BAP. The BAP I would wire into the kit as well so when the nitrous 'hits', the BAP flips on to spike the fuel 50% at the time of the hit to help with fuel problems. Hell with a BAP you probably don't need rails, injectors or a pump. BAPs are great and work well...and are far from a BAND AID as some would say. They serve the purpose they are supposed to...and do it well...

Thats how he was tyring to add fuel to help with the spike because the fuel system (pump and rails) couldn't keep up.
he was band aiding...;)
I told him too...I didn't want to buy injectors..more pump than I already did, rails, a fuel resivour...I said just add the extra fuel in the injectors at the hit to help...he tried....they were maxxed and it still didn't help. he told me that there was nothing else he could do and we should stop. I told him to carry on...not his fault at all. I asked him to bump the FP high as **** to help...but by the time I was ready to find other alternatives, I blew it up. lol.

Okay, that makes more sense.
It still spikes if you add fuel pressure when the nitrous activates. My dry kit does a little bit. Its a NOS 5115 kit exactly like the 5.0s use.
So a lean spike trying to band-aid it with more fp made it a bigger lean spike essentially. Poor band-aid attempt.

Run a 75-80 shot, 91 octane and don't mess with the factory spark. No need for a tune and you will be fine. I talk to a tuner up in Michigan that is well known for tuning Mustangs. He said a tuner that can't tune a 100 shot on a Mustang does not know what they are doing. He said with a typical 100 shot wet kit he likes to pull timing 2-4 degrees and run 93 octane. It was amazing listening to this guy talk and listen to how much knowledge he had. After talking to him I will NOT be taking my car to Dan for tuning.
His name is Lidio Lacobelli from Alternative Auto. He knows his stuff.

I have nothing against Dan (and I didn't mean to sound like I was telling NeverEnuff how to make his Mustang fast) but he just didn't sound like a confident tuner and after talking to a very, very knowledgable and experienced tuner who says a 100 shot is a cake walk to tune which tells me Dan isn't as good as he could be.

Just because you're using a wet kit doesn't mean you won't need a better fuel pump. Its still going to have to have the extra fuel at the rail for the kit to use....And that fuel doesn't get there on hopes and dreams.

well edelbrock came out with one but it was gay......my logan looked sick and flow'd CRAZY....logan is the best for 4.6 SOHC's...and sullivan is pry the better intake for under 1300bucks. all the custom ones MMR wanted to do is 2500 or more.
here is pic of engine............

if you think about it, it doesnt matter...its ment to be a all around intake...give a good low end and killer top end to 8,500rpm..everyone uses it in there high hp builds or the new edelbrock..only thing i didnt like about my logan was the tig welds that were under the intake...horrible...looked like chicken ****.
yeah this intake is a cast...but my old engine looked insane........this one will look clean but give some killer power.

Looks awesome, but grassmaster will still get you. What are you running for fuel system components, ie. Are you doing a sump with an inline pump and regulator or what.
anti venom
7th April 2010, 10:04 AM
yeah its sump'd....im using 1800hp Fuel Lab inline pump. Were going to try to have the computer run the duty cycle. then the regulator is mounted were the EGR valve is spose to be on the sullivan intake(on the back of the t/b to carb adapter). i have 10an line to the rails and 8an line return...for the sending unit i made this piece. i got all measurements of my Fore hat before i sold it.

na i dont but if you go to modularfords.com you can pic one up cheap.. lots of 2v guys going with edelbrock's new intake and trickflow's.
if i were you id just go buy an edelbrock...then make a adapter yourself...go get a 1/4 aluminum and bolt up your plenum and t/b...cut hold out for plenum..drill and tap holes to mount plenum...then drill holes to go to the edelbrock carb plate/manifold.

well i didnt get to the dyno sunday but i let tom get some other projects done..
only thing i got left is to finish were i put the resiviour tank....and put a filter on it....im kinda thinking to put a filter that fits between the fender and turbo(keep it small to restrict a tad to keep it little richer till i take it off in serious race applications). idk yet.

its the fuel labs 1800hp pump..it cost 550 i think..i run e85 with 120lbs injectors..my old setup was triple 255's....when we tuned we didnt raise the fuel pressure just let injectors do the job. its loud..sounds like a jet.

got it running
straight wastegate it produced 12-13psi.......and it put out mid to high 500whp....my 2v did 547rwhp and 509rwtq....and i went over that.
i got lots of numbers from 13-25psi but i will give main ones
at 20psi with 21.5 degrees of timing(rev'd to 6,500rpm)
695rwhp
583rwtq
at 22psi with 21.5 degrees of timing(rev'd to 6,500rpm)
728rwhp
610rwtq
at 25psi with 16degrees of timing(rev'd to 6,000rpm)
777rwhp
651rwtq
(on the main screen that does the weather correction it said 782rwhp and 682rwtq)
also you can see at were converter caught up at 5,900rpm dip'd down then took off fast.....rev limiter is set at 6,500rpm........but the power was still going up. tom is getting vids and pics up online soon....i will scan and post up dyno sheets. the comp turbo is awesome spooled like a mofo.
not bad for stock 98 cobra cams, port matched navi heads, and sullivan intake. the fuel lab 1800hp pump is still on low speed and injectors are at 75-80% duty....then the BA5000 is getting close to peg'in...if i go for more tom has a buddy that can recalibrate it for even more power.
tom and i drove it on 22psi............its scary..its way to much so im pry just going to run around on wastegate..
anti venom
24th May 2010, 09:09 PM
got really late so we just stop'd there is more in it but in all reality 13psi is all i need to do anything. 17psi and up i have a hard time hooking 2nd gear with slicks and full drag suspension.

yeah it goes up once......rpm doesnt drop when i shift. tom has some footage ive been waiting on. inside and out......tried using trans brake on one...haha didnt have a ground on good enough..****ing undercoating.
as you can see on the dyno sheets the torque converter catches up at 5900rpm...then takes off again. hp didnt stop haha.
we tried controlling the boost a little with the AMS-500 so it wasnt so violent.
