I used to go out there every weekend and I just started going back out there again since I got this car. It's been every Saturday for at least 25 years, maybe even longer. Always been a fun cruise night.

Not wanting to push to much power don't want to have to build a dart block 331 stroker yet, but if she does blow that's what I'm doing. The block only has 42k miles on it so I want to make it safe and cruise.

bad ass Donnie, Steve said you bought your dad's ole vert. I had planned to, but now that Im getting it running, my dad wants to keep it a while. lol Will be cool to see it at the gtg's though. I dunno your combo, but Im pretty good at guessing #s... if its a fmu S trim car on a stock block, depending on heads and boost, Id guess 430ish rw for a normal safe setup...

Stock bottom end 302 with edelbrock performer heads, rpm intake, if I remember correct 1.6 rockers but could be 1.7 will have to look into that, 70 mil throttle body, i beloeve an e cam but will have to find the paper work ( may f cam but again i will find out) and a Paxton novi 2000 on 10lbs. Last time it was on the dyno was 8 or 9 years ago. Put down around 475 to 500 back then. Just wanting to fix a few things and put it on the dyno to see where it's at safety wise and power. Then after the first of the year I will change the injectors, exhaust, and do a chip. Just wanting to enjoy it for a few weeks till I get put on crutches again.

What time does it start.

With a big power stick car, the car is much more unsettled going down the track making it more of a challenge to ET well. A well running auto car is nothing more than just point and shoot. Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

My dad's car had almost an identical setup with a s trim, 42s and a chip, it made 476 @6000 and 10psi on 93. On race gas at same boost it made approximately 530-540. Don't spin it over 6000. Lol

6k? Are you high? Even under optimal circumstances you shouldn't shift a fox stock block above 5500. The harmonics from overspinning the motor is what kills the block when it splits right down the valley.
Add to that a blower pulling on the front crank pulley and a FMU for fuel management, spinning it that high is just asking for a blown motor. Using a FMU is like putting a Band-Aid on AIDS. Pointless. It's just there to barely make the car run and certainly not something that should be used as a source of reliability.
My 93 Cobra made over 500rw on the stock block for over 5 years. With a solid tune, a chip and 42lb injectors, it idled good considering the size of the large cam. The reason it will still running like a champ when I sold it was because I didn't beat the snot out of it and I didn't rev it above 5500rpm. I rarely drove it hard at all knowing the motor was on borrowed time.

Well until I get the a/f checked I'm not going past 4500. After the first the car will get bigger injectors and a tune. Till then I just want to make sure she doesn't go boom.
Strokd that sounds about right. Don't really want to push to much past that since the blocks don't like it. Just got the car don't want to blow it up yet.

Had a good Ford mechanic friend in Cali with a blown 88 Saleen, and he was the one who told me to not to rev it over 6k.
Just going off his recommendation. His car ran mid 11s @127 in the mid 90s on 17" Bridgestones and 3600lbs.

Steve are you planning on going out Saturday night to Kellers. Just wondering if you are planning on trying to catch the UFC fights somewhere around there? Return on GSP!
