Update .. we finally made some progress on the stocker.. Our best run was a 12.25 at only 105 and a 1.57 60' so we are getting there.. Now I have a few changes this week and I'll probably slow it down but we are learning this efi!

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Congrats on your 12.25.

Do you know how much it weighed on that run ?

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Damn Al....you have a heads up coming!
That would be cool.......!

Well I pulled 5# too much weight out and it cost us a run.. It was my fault and I thought we would be 20 over still and with all the delays we didn't go to the scales. I know rookie mistake and it did take away an .808 under run today. Hopefully we will get another shot tomorrow.

Wish I could be there...good luck to you Scott. :cool:

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

There are a lot of cars and the rain really complicates everything.. I made a big move on the car and it didn't slow us down too much so I think it will be a positive move.

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Yep...tm is going to be iffy for sure with that many cars and with rain expected. :(

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Saw that win on live stream! :)

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Sorry to hear about the scale problem Scott.
I saw you run on the live feed on that run.
@ over 8 tenths under you have a competitive car now.

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Congrats, Scott
Nice job

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Thanks guys. We added 19 pounds this morning and quickly went to the scales and then we weighed 50 over. Haha. We are having fun with this old car.

Let 'er rip!

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

A quick update on the stocker.. We haven't made alot of runs lately but we have lost something in the car. It could be the 3600+ air that's doing some of this but you never know. I'm thinking turbo but not sure yet.. Ill let you know and can't wait to run in more favorable air towards the end of the year..

Re: 1983/84 GT Turbo stocker build
 

Don't forget to keep us updated scott!

Anyone need the adjustable wastegate diaphram thingy. I installed and removed from 84 Mustang 2.3 turbo that I sold. If I remember I bought it from Ford performance years ago but cant swear to it.The shaft is threaded to to adjust wastegate opening. Any decent offer with shipping from Phx AZ. If its worthless then Ill try ebay. Can send picture
