Re: 2015 Mustang Ecoboost K/SA?
Last portion of this post was very instructive.

As far as the rear end width, you will have to consult the tech department. My thought is that they allow "factory spec. replacements. |

I just don't want to spend $20K or so on a retirement hobby, just to get torpedoed by something that I never saw coming. Again, I have no interest in setting a record or racing at Indy- I just would like to be able to comfortably run under index. |

http://www.nhraracer.com/content/gen...633&zoneid=132 There have been times where a racer ran 1.19 under once and for the rest of the review period ( every 6 months) never ran more than .999 under index again, and the combo did not get a hp increase at the end of the review period.

I ran 1.4x under on my first pass in NHRA Stock with the car in my avatar and set the Q/SA record the same day.. There was no way I could have gotten a legal Stocker to run that far under index if I had built it myself for that amount of money. If you want to go bracket racing with a class car, then the Stock Eliminator field is less populated in the (lower letter) classes so the odds of a heads up pairing ( with another vehicle the same class as yours) during eliminations is greatly reduced. For $ 20K you could probably buy a turn key car, open trailer and a decent pickup tow rig

The three I've drove (one being my daily driver in a f150) works fine, floor it and at 3000rpm it starts to pull hard. It doesn't "nose over" on its way to the factory shift point of 6750RPM!! This is a pick up motor! I thought it was a fluke but have driven two new transit vans with the same motor and same results. So, in a mustang with loose converter and some gear? I can't imagine it NOT being a rocket. First gear in the 6spd is quite low so 4.56 would probably be as low as you need otherwise the 1-2 shift would be before the first revolution of the tire. lol. Bottom line, I see a ton of potential in this engine, good flowing heads/strong bottom end and the throttle valve seems to be a good size too although I've never actually measured it. Love to see one run. |
