What modifications would some of you suggest without going overboard like Chris is thinking blowers and superchargers. The exhaust has been done and has the cold air intake.

I'd say cam, headwork and extractors. V8's always seem to make massive power with head/cam packages.

Slicks should wipe off a little bit (but track only), and a driving lesson should wipe off a bit too. Diff gears will help, but if you do any highway driving, it can be annoying with the higher revs its amazing how much a difference a few driving lessons make. I love to let my mate who owns the australian academy of motorsport drive my car.. cos I see what he does, and then I have something to aim for. I let him run a 1/4 in my car, and he ran 0.7MPH faster than me... so I know the car has it in it, I just gotta get more practise to get there.

Get your lower extrude honed, your GT40P's match ported and some work done on the short turn radius. The valve springs will also need to be uprated for the higher revs. I can get you a much better MAF and the Tickford extractors should be replaced with something a bit more free flowing (Hurricane's, DeFilipo's, Pacemakers). You need to get the cam in the right rev range so auto's need a higher stall converter - manuals just need to be launched at higher revs... There are plenty of threads on improving the Windsor - just do a search Shane Back to top Au Te50 Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:34 Posts: 1781 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Huntingdale, Perth WA, Australia View User Gallery (6) Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:25 pm    Post subject: Thanks Shane some helpful advice Back to top memnoch Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:39 Posts: 636 Joined: 09 Jan 2005 Location: Melbourne VIC, Australia View User Gallery (10) Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 3:53 pm    Post subject: have you got the ting chipped Back to top Au Te50 Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:34 Posts: 1781 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Huntingdale, Perth WA, Australia View User Gallery (6) Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2005 4:51 pm    Post subject: memnoch wrote: have you got the ting chipped Have enquired about that, a cheap thing to do to get a bit more power.

Most of the T Series I have seen run at WSID were running mid 13's, so you would want a lot more than half a second from a blower!!

Spoke to Marks workshop at motorvation and for about $10000 fitted we should get about 360hp at the rear wheels which would run about 12's. Play with the injectors etc and would be better again.
