Re: 1995 F-150 build
Motor is a 516 and will be running a Terminator alcohol injection setup from Killer Rons. The engine sim program I have is estimating the power/tq at 725-750hp and 760-775tq and the ET sim program is suggesting high 9's/low 10's depending on the launch and shift points. Of course this all depends on the weight the chassis ends up at, and I am shooting for 3000-3200lbs. I think this is realistic with the weight reduction efforts I have done and the fiberglass parts.
This motor is a rather conservative build as I just don't want the maintenance and cost of a high compression/high lift cam setup. I had a 16:1, 8500 rpm motor in my pulling truck and didn't like the annual maintenance costs lol. I am trying to understand/figure out NHRA's classes so I don't yet know what class it will be in at this point. I intend to run the pro class at Bunker Hill with occasional runs at either Muncie or US41. Last edited by Horsinaround; 11-15-2013 at 12:26 PM. |

Basically, if you do not have a delay box, you can run Pro ET.
You can use a trans brake, 2 step, and rpm activated shifter/solenoid. If you use a delay box, you are limited to Super Pro. |

Re: 1995 F-150 build
Thanks Cad, I will have all the toys you mentioned except the delay box. I've been told that adding the electronics adds alot of expense and butt whoopin's.
(I expect to get alot of those anyway. ) |
