[cstreu1026]

The goal is low 11's or high 10's in full street trim including AC and a stereo then as I shed weight low 10's. When we get it on the dyno for tuning we can decide on gears. I am expecting to need 4.88's or 5.14's with a 26" slick.

[adragon72]

cool project!1!!!

[RIXXX93GT]

Nice, about time you posted some pics! Ought to be a screamer.

[cstreu1026]

Nice, about time you posted some pics! Ought to be a screamer.

You've got that right...from what I can estimate i am probably going to shifting this thing at 8000 or beyond.

[90fastgt]

Sounds nasty got any pics of the car

[cstreu1026]

This one is old it hasn't really changed. If I can get the drive train finished I would love to get it painted this winter but I would say there is probably only a 10% chance this year.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb162/cstreu1026/IMG_1782.jpg

[98stangv6]

Can't wait to see it done.

[R825OH]

shiny stuff makes me drool

[redfirepearlgt]

Dude that is awesome. Can't wait to see it go live on the street or at the track. Thanks for posting up.

[2Fast4You]

What power adder are you using on this?

[bbfstanger]

hes an n/a guy last i heard.
good luck on the build Cam.

[cstreu1026]

Correct...this is all motor.

[Stangman]

Those are some good lookin motor parts! Can't wait to see it together.

[matts95]

What will be the final compression ratio? You going to run E-85?

[90fastgt]

Thats a nice looking car

[mustangboy]

Did you ever pick up your seats?

[Mustard]

gonna be cool

[NXcoupe]

What will be the final compression ratio? You going to run E-85?

I've been trying to nudge him that direction, but he's a die hard 93 oct guy.

[cstreu1026]

If my math is correct it should be right at 11.5:1. Considering its 40 miles round trip to get E85 it's not really practical though I should have enough pump and injector to give it a shot.

[cstreu1026]

Did you ever pick up your seats?

I talked to Mike last week and I am going to stop down on Monday or Tuesday to get them.

[cstreu1026]

The engine is ready to go in.

[sprayn93coupe]

Looks good!

[k062693w]

Looks Killer Cam ...

I don't know how I missed it ...

[Stangman]

Hopefully that converter didn't kick your ass too much! Get that thing together!

[TooFast98Cobra]

nice build!

[akagreg3]

lol i seen mike working on it when i was pulling the dash harness off the stang in back, boy was it hot that day!!! lol you get them dowls in mike hehee

[chris91]

VERY nice setup man. Any idea of what kinda power she'll be layin down?

[chad393na]

Your tko was the prettiest one I have ever opened up! All polished and stuff!

[cstreu1026]

VERY nice setup man. Any idea of what kinda power she'll be layin down?

I don't really know what to expect. The only people out there with similar setups are guys running in heads up classes and they are pretty tight lipped.

[Rick93coupe]

Looks great Cam, you think you'll get to make some passes this season?

[cstreu1026]

I sure hope so. I don't know that I'll be close getting the real potential out of it because I am not sure I'll get the rear end re-done before it gets cold but I hope to at least get some seat time. I did have to compromise a bit and go with off the shelf headers with 2.5" exhaust for now. Once the finances allow and I start looking for every last ounce of performance I'll upgrade.

[Blkcobra01]

Looks good cam.

[beefcake]

looking great!

[MrMustang99GT]

Modular Muscle Looking Good Man...

[Gregg@TFS]

Great build!!!

[cstreu1026]

With any luck this thing will be running within the next week.

[maverick]

Cool project man, inside and out. Your going to have fun in that thing

[beercan5.0]

That thing is gonna be nasty for sure.

[cstreu1026]

The engine is in but we ran in to a problem with the Quicktime bellhousing and the Canton pan.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb162/cstreu1026/Dayton%20Stang%20Board/Photo0026.jpg

Canton is sending me another pan with drain plug in a different location. With any luck it will be up and running within the next week.

[bbfstanger]

i cant stand canton they just dont think of shyt like that.
last canton pan i used always leaked,it only covered half the rear end seal so it didnt have a chance.

[5.0calypso93lx]

My Moroso had the same issue. Most just clearance the bellhousing.

[Brandon Alsept]

Heck just notch that thing and get that car on the track.

[Brandon Alsept]

Heck just notch that thing and get that car on the track.

[NXcoupe]

New pans on, no more clearance issues. Hooking everything up now, should be running this weekend. He had bought a manual trans harness for it, turned out not to be for a 98, so he's got the right one coming, should be here tomorrow. Getting close, can't wait.

[cstreu1026]

She runs! It even fired on the first try. There are a couple more things to button up and then hopefully it will be on the dyno by Thursday.

[cstreu1026]

Here's a sneak peak.
http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb162/cstreu1026/?action=view&current=4786FAFF-38FC-4096-8359-DC49443C8A4E-5356-0000025AD2BA8AD6.mp4

As soon as it gets tuned we'll post up some numbers.

[98stangv6]

Sounds sick!!!!!:bigthumb

[Goober]

Is it hitting the rollers this weekend?

[cstreu1026]

It's looking like next Saturday will be the first time Mike and I can get together long enough to get it on the rollers.

[Goober]

/me needs to come up with an excuse to drive to Dayton that Saturday.

[RIXXX93GT]

Sounds great Cameron!

[bbfstanger]

sounds good cam!
i seen after mike did the pan swap.

[cstreu1026]

We have some numbers. :) the first round of break in and tuning produced 390 rwhp @ 6900 and 320 ft lbs @ about 5000. I am pretty happy especially since there is still more to come. On deceleration it sucking oil in through the PCV system which is made worse by the lack of baffles in the Trick Flow valve covers so we need to install an oil separator as a permanent solution. We are also going to get some fresh 93 for he tank since its been running on gas I last put in back in November of 2010. After that we are going to put in some race gas and some more timing to try and break the 400 mark. We also need to send the meter I bought back to Pro M because it appears to be bad and all the tuning was done with the stock meter.

I have to give a big thanks to Mike Bell for building a hell of an engine. It has exceeded my goals and has a bunch left in it with some more upgrades.

[cstreu1026]

Never mind...mike got the Pro M meter working and it's now at 395. :)

[Goober]

Hell yeah, vids or ban!

[NXcoupe]

Gonna cool her down and put a little timing in it, see what happens. I think fresh gas is in your future, since we've burned up a bunch so far, lol.

[cstreu1026]

As soon as I get some time at home.

[cstreu1026]

Lastest report...399/326. Now it time for an oil change and some more fuel.

[chris91]

BADASS!! Good luck hitting the 400+ man, I'm sure you'll get there.

[cstreu1026]

...and here we go.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhhszmm2WsA&feature=player_embedded

[Goober]

How high are you spinning it right now?

[cstreu1026]

I think the pulls we're all to 7500 more or less and the rev limiter is set at 8000 I think.

[chad393na]

Thats awesome Cameron!!!

[bbfstanger]

sounding good cameron.
gonna be a blast to drive!

[Qtr milerocket]

Congrats Cam your car sounded good putting down 399 rwhp.



Peace :cool2:

[Jake]

that is absolutely wicked! you're making me want to actually finish my build now. what were the final specs on the cams you ended up with?

[BuckeyeAlex]

Awesome build, kudos for doing something a little out of the norm in the Mustang world!

[NXcoupe]

that is absolutely wicked! you're making me want to actually finish my build now. what were the final specs on the cams you ended up with?

Theyvare my custom grinds, rather not get too specific. I will say they are in the 250* duration at .050".

[Jake]

your privacy is very well understood mike, as they made some killer numbers. just promise to make me a similar set if I ever move past my 270's!

[cstreu1026]

here is the dyno graph. It shows the car when it was it had just the head swap and comp 270s as well as the new numbers.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb162/cstreu1026/Dayton%20Stang%20Board/DynoComparrison_zps66157608.jpg

[NXcoupe]

Be happy to help you out. I think cam,s engine has more power in it with some changes and as it gets some runs on it.

[chris91]

The 296hp, that was PI Head Swap not Trick Flow Head Swap right? Were they untouched or were they ported on? Just trying to get an idea of what Im looking at when I finally get mine on the dyno.

[NXcoupe]

That was PI heads, comp 270 cams, not sure if that was stock or tfs intake, with a 5 spd.

[cstreu1026]

296 was with stock PI heads with comp 270 cams, comp vale springs, PI intake, C&l plenum, 70mm throttle body, JLT cold air intake, BBK long tubes and h pipe, and Mac cat back.

[chris91]

Nice numbers for untouched heads. Definitely makes me happy. I should be over 300 for sure after a good tune.

[NXcoupe]

Latest is 408 hp with a short belt and fresh fuel. Gonna play with the tune a bit now that we dont have 2 year old fuel in it anymore. Hooing he,ll drive it a bit mire now, lol.

[chris91]

HELL YEAH GUYS!! Awesome numbers for sure!!

[cstreu1026]

Final numbers with the TFS intake 408/328.

[RIXXX93GT]

Very nice Cameron!

[Blkcobra01]

Nice numbers Cam.

[Goober]

I gotta hear this beast!

[331lx]

Good numbers

[bbfstanger]

kickass 2valve!!

[cstreu1026]

283 cubic inches of fury. I'm looking for 425+ with the Edelbrock intake.

[firestang70]

40 roll yoooooo lol Awesome numbers!

[cstreu1026]

I got the big and little back on it last weekend and since its nice out I decided to use it to go Krogering. Once you hit 4K the car really comes alive and with the drag radials on it I can actually go full throttle in the car. It's going to take some serious getting use to with the face plated transmission but I can't wait to hit the track. If only Kilkare would get the paving finished.

[cstreu1026]

I finally got to the track this Friday evening to try and get a feel for the car. I know I need much shorter gears and more traction but it was nice to get some seat time. First pass I went 13.0 @ 111 with a 2.16 60ft. I was pretty much a nervous wreck on the first pass. Second pass improved to a 12.67 @ 111 with a 2.0 60ft. On the third and final pass I managed a 12.59 @ 112.5 with a 1.91 60 ft.

I have a ton of things to work on. The 4.10's are getting ditched for some 4.88's since I am crossing through the traps a good 2K below where I should be. I have some electrical gremlins that popped up on the way to the track and at the track. The speedo quits working sometimes on hard acceleration and the shift light quit working after the first pass. I am pretty sure its related a bad ground so it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. I really need to get comfortable shifting at 7500+ which will probably be the biggest obstacle.

Also on the last pass I heard a pop in the rear suspension on the 1-2 shift that I need to check out. I have some upgrades waiting in the wings I just hope I didn't do any damage. The 4 year old drag radials just aren't going to cut it anymore.

They did get a couple of decent shots of the car though.

[5.0calypso93lx]

I forgot to post up and ask how you did. Saw you at KK and was wondering how you did as the timing lights were turned off and I couldn't tell.

[cstreu1026]

Just a little update...ran a best of 11.99 @118 the second time at the track with the car. That was after a change to 4.56 gears, Hanlon built synchronized TKO 600, and x pipe with cats.

I have a full Team Z rear suspension ready to go on including double adjustable Strange shocks. I also have a Holley HP ecu system with matching Holley dash waiting to go in. Future plans call for bigger cams, bigger headers, modified Edelbrock intake, TFS R heads, and a 3.74" bore 311" short block with 14:1 compression.

[2Fast4You]

Wow, it's been a long time since your last posting, Congratulations on getting into the 11's...

[redfirepearlgt]

nice!

[draggin50]

Congrats! Glad to hear your back out and making passes!

[cstreu1026]

I still can't drive for shit but at least it's progress.

[Pops Fun]

Congrats, on the project

[cstreu1026]

The AC compressor has given up and is leaking oil. The power steering is also leaking so the AC, power steering, and power brakes are coming off and manual brakes and flaming river manual rack are going on. The rear suspension is also getting a substantial change. It will be replace with Team Z relocated uppers, lowers, anti-roll bar, springs, and Strange double adjustable shocks.

[k062693w]

Damn !!! Going All Race Car on Us !!!

Shedding weight and power sucking accessories, No Cheaper HP !!!

[JIMS SVT]

Gonna make more power and have less weight now. And more hook.

[cstreu1026]

Now I just have to figure outbid I want to use the bolt in Maximum Motorsports roll bar that I have or if I want to have a cage put in the car.

[draggin50]

I have the Maximum Motorsports bolt in cage and I like how it fits. And having the removable door bars is nice.

[cstreu1026]

I had some more parts fall in to my lap so it looks like its going to be getting some more upgrades. We are going to start is an iron romeo block bored .040" over with JE domed pistons, Manley I beam rods, and a cost crank. That's getting topped with a set of TFS R 195 heads, a ported Edelbrock Vic jr., and some monster cams.

[chris91]

Nice!!!!

Stepping up your game, that should be nice!

[cstreu1026]

Of course I'm also sitting here looking at a big bore block too....

[draggin50]

Should fly when its done!

[chris91]

Already sell your old setup?

[cstreu1026]

I have a potential buyer for the heads and maybe the intake but not the bottom end.

[chris91]

Wish tax time was closer. I'd be interested in the whole setup. What intake manifold were you using?

[NXcoupe]

Bullitt intake.

[cstreu1026]

Trick Flow Track Heat

[chris91]

Is there much difference between the Bullitt and Trick Flow?

[cstreu1026]

The trick flow doesn't require all the obsolete parts like the Bullitt.

[chris91]

Ah okay, yeah that does make it nice.

[cstreu1026]

So who's ready for a big twist? I decided I wanted to go faster and have a car that more enjoyable on the street so I picked up an intercooled Novi 2000.

[chad393na]

You will love it, I sure do!

[Gearhead]

So who's ready for a big twist? I decided I wanted to go faster and have a car that more enjoyable on the street so I picked up an intercooled Novi 2000.

Will you need new Pistons or keeping the same higher comp ?

[cstreu1026]

Keeping it the same, 11.5:1 on E85.

[Rick93coupe]

That's going to be a hell of an upgrade!!!

[Yellow98Cobra]

That's going to be fun

[redfirepearlgt]

So who's ready for a big twist? I decided I wanted to go faster and have a car that more enjoyable on the street so I picked up an intercooled Novi 2000.

Now you're talkin! Getting blown is an addiction. Once you have had a sample you can't ever seem to get enough. Looking forward to seeing this.

[USMCPONY]

So who's ready for a big twist? I decided I wanted to go faster and have a car that more enjoyable on the street so I picked up an intercooled Novi 2000.

If you ever decide to upgrade. I think the ysi/2200R uses the same bracket. I know they do for the vettes. Not 100% sure on the Mustangs though. My 1500 pulled hard but was maxed out. My 2200r pulls just as hard as my 1500 on its lowest setting. All I had to do is buy a head unit. I decided to upgrade to a 10 rib at the same time. I can't wait to turn it up. Going from a 3.33" to a 2.75" pulley.

[cstreu1026]

Based on what Paxton says this should support approximately 825 at the wheels.

The plan is to run a 3.5" pulley with an 18% over drive damper which will spin the blower to its max impeller at 7000 RPM. The kit is fitted with a waste gate and boost control and I plan to use that to dis the boost back to whatever we can safely run.

[cstreu1026]

The coyote swap is done and it's making great power. The best dyno pull made 463/399.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170918/ae018c369b33c3bb590bb668170aa8db.jpg

[Rick93coupe]

I stopped by one day when it was on the dyno. It sounds amazing, I love the exhaust note!

[98stangv6]

Awesome set up! Do you plan on running it this year?

[PKFIRE]

Those new 5.0s are sweet! Great numbers!

[cstreu1026]

The plan it make passes at Kilkare on Thursday and I will be running true street at Bowling Green next weekend. I still haven't driven it yet though. I planned to tonight but Mother Nature had other plans.

[draggin50]

That's good numbers! Glad to see you getting it finished up. I know its been a while since you had it out.

[USMCPONY]

Looks great!

[redfirepearlgt]

Nice numbers Cameron. Look forward to seeing it make some passes.

[egbertnr]

Whats your exhaust setup?

[Maximus]

[QUOTE=cstreu1026;816215]The coyote swap is done and it's making great power. The best dyno pull made 463/399.

Freakin Sweet!! Whats your combination?

[cstreu1026]

F150 engine, Comp stage 3 blower cams, accufab throttle body, Kooks 1-7/8" headers, and 3" exhaust tuned using a Holley HP computer.

[draggin50]

5 speed?

[cstreu1026]

Yes. TKO600

[draggin50]

Nice! Should be a fun ride!

[cstreu1026]

I can't wait to find out. I just need the damn rain to stop.

[egbertnr]

What fuel?

[cstreu1026]

E85

[egbertnr]

E85
Thought so. Damn you guys and your corn gas. Just not enough stations around me to justify it for my car. I'm so jealous of all the local swaps popping up. I'm hung up on some details with my power steering and hvac. If I went simple I'd be driving by now.

I carry cans with me. There are 2 places I can get it but they are 20 miles, 1 way from me. Sucks but its almost worth it!!

[PKFIRE]

I feel bad, I got a ton E85 stations near me. The closes one is a mile away and there are 3 on my way to work.

Thought so. Damn you guys and your corn gas. Just not enough stations around me to justify it for my car. I'm so jealous of all the local swaps popping up. I'm hung up on some details with my power steering and hvac. If I went simple I'd be driving by now.

I'm in the same boat.

Actually it was 466 rwhp. 81% ethanol.

[cstreu1026]

Kilkare is out for tomorrow. Just not enough hours in the day to get everything done this week.

[fastford1996]

Saw this at mikes im in love with your car haha! Awesome build man! He has my girl right now.

[cstreu1026]

I drove if for the first time last night and it's an absolute beast. It made 59 HP and 71 ft-lbs. more than the 2v but it feels like it makes twice the power. Throttle response is instant.

Will it be ready for BG next week?

[NXcoupe]

Nothing left to do to it, so yes it is ready. He has my trailer and car is running great.

[cstreu1026]

It's looking like I'm going to be headed down Thursday morning so I can get some passes in during test and tune.

[redfirepearlgt]

^^^ I will look for you Saturday if I come down.

[cstreu1026]

So I broke the spider gears on the very first pass in Bowling Green. After thinking about it for a few days I ended up deciding to order a Moser M88 rear ended with 9" ends, spool, 4.56 gears, and 35 spline gun drilled axles with their pro flange.

[Rick93coupe]

Nice stuff, you should never have to worry about those problems again.

[draggin50]

Yep, wont have any issues there now! Sounds like a nice rear end.

So you're saying cam has a nice rear end? Just clarifying.

[draggin50]

He will have!!! Must be all the working out!

[NXcoupe]

Lol.

[cstreu1026]

Reviving an old post. The year didn’t go as planned. Swapped to a 2018 intake and picked up 2 HP and lost 35 ft-lbs. The I took the car to NMRA finals and broke it on the first pass. Spun a rod bearing which really puts a damper on the winter plans. I had picked up an Edelbrock TVS and I was trying to figure out to cover the blower, fuel system, and a cage. Now I need a new engine. It’s sucks but that’s racing.

I picked up a set of Oliver billet rods and Mike is going to order some custom CP pistons and a new boss crank. More than likely I’ll have the block sleeved and heads ported while it’s all apart. I guess when it’s back on the track I’ll skip the 10s and go straight for the 9s.

What intake did you originally have on there? I was thinking about the 18 and then some PAC springs, since Im shifting mine at 8400.
Sucks that yours broke on the first pass.

[cstreu1026]

It had the stock 2012 F150 intake on it before the 2018’intake. We’re going to put the 2018 intake on Mike’s 2013 to see if it was a fluke.

[cstreu1026]

[draggin50]

Nice looking set of pistons you have there!

[Maximus]

Nice!
What brand are those?

[cstreu1026]

They’re custom Pistons from DSS. They’ll look nice on the Oliver billet rods I picked up, it’s just too bad no one will see them once it’s all together.

[S281SC]

That is why we do build threads. So at least people get to see the parts sometime. Haha. It is always sad the most expensive parts are under and inside our cars where we dont get to see them or show them off.

Those are spiffy, should work well for the application.

What bore?

[cstreu1026]

I went with .010 over. I considered going 3.700 but I wanted to leave as much material as possible.

[chris91]

Did you guys ever get to putting the 18 manifold on Mike's car to see if it was indeed a fluke? I was about to pick up a 18 manifold for my 11, if it doesnt gain much, I'm just going to pick up a Boss manifold.

[Walter]

2018 intake over boss, plenty of comparisons out there that price that. Need RPM to take advantage of either.

All the parts are at BES. They’re sleeving the block and doing all the other machine work. I’m aiming to have it running by May 1st

Buddy, we are going to do a you tube video of stock GT vs 18 vs Holley sniper sheet metal. Would like to try some others if anyone wants to lend me one for the test.

Will the car ultimately be NA or blower?

Sounds great Cam, congrats.

There is a D1X in my garage that will be going on the car.

Sounds Flipping Awesome Cam !!!

I’m on the lookout for a set of gen 2 cylinder heads to port at some point and as much as I hate the idea of an auto I’m leaning towards a 4L80E for it.

[Maximus]

Who did the cams? Sounds wicked!:cool1:

[cstreu1026]

They’re the biggest off the shelf blower cams from Comp.

[cstreu1026]

Finally some progress to report on. The transmission is in, shifter installed, new Strange 35 spline S Trac and 4.10 gears installed, and fuel system is in process.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221027/ef6f6a4000d97a32a63a4133b44b1a18.jpg

Nope, not yet. That's the next step.

Mike started on the tuning and of course a couple minor issues popped up but they’re fixed now. So far it’s made 701HP at 7500 and makes 9-10PSI.

I’d like to squeak out a few more with the giant pulley then after some seat time we’ll see what 25 psi produces.

[redfirepearlgt]

Great numbers Cameron. That's got to put a smile on your face.

[NXcoupe]

That was with platinum spark plugs. Getting different plugs, closing up the gap a bit and see what happens.

Cameron, did you keep the MAF sensor? If ya did, can ya post up a pic to where its mounted in the Cold side?
