Wait, does that mean you got whipped by someone?
:D
I'm close right?

NO WAY!! Did you get the Whipple Supercharger!!!

Start saving now for tires.

[BlackSheep]

This should get interesting!! Seems we both have something up our sleeve!!:thumbsup2:

Mine should be ready by this weekend! :D

[Fubar]

Mine is probably 2-3 weeks out but at least they are finally shipping me something.

Actually, when I drove Kumars TT GT w/ 875whp it dead hooked 1st!! I was fully shocked!! May be the way the turbo comes on, but it was very surprising to be able to flat foot it in 1st and when the boost hit @ 4,100 there was no drama, just face peeling acceleration!! Grabbed second and it had a tiny bit of lag, then it was in triple digits instantly.. Very fast car..

[Fubar]

I think he said Taylor setup boost control per gear, that is the only way to make it stick. I have heard nothing but good things about Kumar's setup. I can't wait to see it run at the mile in October.

My car will not be that civil. However, it should have mad torque at 1500 rpm. That will make it a fun street car.

[RaceMX-M3]

Mark I give up. I'm not racing you anymore.

Holy crap!

[Mr.Big]

sounds like a few tricks up a few sleeves...;)

[Fubar]

Anybody want to make a prediction on whp #s? Person who is closest gets a free cigar.

[jragan]

731.37

[427Aggie]

Mark's car had a good higher number stock...I would guess its going to be 750...mines 720 with the 3.4

Its not civilized like a turbo down low...I raced one of our guys in Austin when I first got it..he didn't have a pulley..race went like this

1st...spin side by side...second spin side by side...third...gone...other driver told me later that he though he missed a shift I shot off so fast :)

Mark will have to relearn driving the car

[RaceMX-M3]

I guess 780 whp. It's just a guess. :)

[Mike CLK Black]

747 ... that's a lot of hp! You may want to contact Boeing for a spoiler.
Are you saving the Hoosiers for post Whipple?

[GTCole]

I love those fast Ford GT's. What a beautiful fast car. I would love to see it run the mile. Post a pic, unless it is the blue in the pic (assuming since I don't know you), and I will look for you. Taking my wife's soon to be in September Porsche Panamera Turbo to laugh and see how fast it will run.

[Qship5]

Congrats Mark! I know you've been waiting for a while on this mod. I'm guessing 762 rwhp.

[BlackSheep]

Which whipple, What dyno, and who's tuning it? I'll try to make an educated guess!

[mpulse]

I am going to say just south of 800whp. So my final answer is 790.

I will be doing the mile at the rally they have Thursday set aside just for us.

On 93 octane and no meth...755rwhp

[Fubar]

No entries will be accepted after the tuning begins :D

There will be no fuel adders at this point and I think we are going for 20lbs of boost. This will also be done on a Dynojet (probably at Dallas Mustang)... so expect higher numbers than Classic's DynoDynamic.

000 - Raven (silly GT-Rs)

[BlackSheep]

My guess is 742

[Raven]

I guess I'll take Zero in case it blows up - so somebody will still win. :)

775

[Fubar]

After speaking with 427Aggie, who installed a Whipple himself, I think I may try to tackle this little job on my own. Feel free to swing by and laugh at me on Thursday as I plan to begin the disassembly process then.

Anybody got a friend with a flatbed? ...just incase

I didn't say by himself.

[BlackSheep]

I think the heat is gonna rob a bit of power on an SC car this time of year.. If it was cooler out I would guess 775

I quit smoking cigars but I will take a shot of moonshine instead. :)

[Fubar]

Well the old supercharger is out. It was childishly easy... two hours max. Putting the new one in will be a little trickier, the belts have to be changed.

I just have to keep you away from the fuel pump wires. Install will start s soon as I have the delivery from Whipple. Hopefully tomorrow.

If he ever got gold teeth the chrome blower would of totally clashed...

[Fubar]

I didn't take a lot of picture during the install. I was to concerned with getting all the little stuff done correctly. I think we did a damn fine job.

Big thanks to Scott and Matt for staying up and helping me with this project. It was not really complicated but the belts were tricky and Matt was a huge help. Scott worked on a lot of details stuff while we cranked away. Nobody left until after 2am.

Thank again guys :thumbsup2:

It still needs to be properly tuned. I just have Whipple generic 19lbs tune. I will get that done early next week... then it will be time to abuse the extra power :D

Here are a few pictures that I have.

[Mr. Hollywood]

The black case was a good choice. :thumbsup2:

holy crap... wild things are happening in dallas.. when it's not 100 degrees there (70's here) I'm gonna come down to pester you guys again... I've got to see this and blacksheep's car. I'm so hot on the trail of a C6..

It's so big.......













That's what she said!!!!

I can play this weekend, but the high boost pulley won't be on untill next week. I'll probably have to come back for seconds later!

I think Jason will need his extra psi then it may get interesting. I may upgrade to the Z06 with a D1 Pro Charger, then I think I may have you covered . :)

Fixed..

I think you are going to need the 2.94 or else its not going to pull hard enough. :D

He may get me with the 2.94, but he's definately going to have to go with the 3.017796 if not the 3.02638 to get by you.

lookin good Mark!!

[Mr.Big]

I'm in on all of this... Mark, Jason and I run and have fun every chance we get, as for the ttbmw, it never seems to be the right time, or there is an issue with the car/tune??? will we ever get to see that bad boy in action???

Hit me up the next time you see me and we will get some test runs in on a closed course. If you give me some notice I can try to have some race fuel in the tank, either way I'm sure I will have a hard time hanging with your beast. :dontknow:

How does your car do vs Mark's GT?

Gotcha, that's why I love methanol. If you are dependent on race gas and you don't choose to fill it with race gas it's a handicap. I got away from that in the 90's for the same reason... Tired of not having it when wanted/needed...
Let us know when you are going to be out on kill...


and don't have that answer, Mark's having issues with his horn and speedo, we'll have those fixed soon:D

[Fubar]

Sh:t head...
:D

[Kumar]

Its Wednesday. We better get an update tonight.

[Fubar]

Right now it's at HPP but the data log is saying that my fuel pump is running at nearly 100%. That's crazy even with 19lbs is should only be under a 50% load. It may need a new fuel pump before we proceed.

Ok im out then I am not changing the fuel pump :) I've seen where that little ******* hides :thumpdown:

[Fubar]

Well they got it done. The inlet temps were 95 degrees and the downstream temps were 138. The fuel pumps must be on the fritz because it was running at 100% duty cycle but the A/F remained constant (11.7).

765 rwhp


Qship5 is the big weenier.

[BlackSheep]

Sweeeet!!! Congrats Mark! Very stout!! Looking forward to seeing how she runs!! I'm hoping my 8rib gets here before Friday! Look slike I'm going to need it!

Oh come on Manny could have squeezed 10 more rwhp out of it.

That is an excellent number in this weather Mark.

you know much timing is in it?

[Fubar]

They said they only added 3 degrees.

[Mike CLK Black]

Good for you Mark and well done to the install team!

Do other GT's with similar numbers have enough down force?

Good guess by Qship!

Does the Texas mile guess come before the "highway in Mexico" guess?

[RaceMX-M3]

lol, what's up with the horn and speedo? Last time Mark and I raced he said he couldn't hear my horn. :laugh:

[Fubar]

This is the graph with 0 smoothing.... with smoothing set on 5 the result was 765hp.

http://www.fordgtforum.com/gallery/data/564/whipple40.jpg

shoot Mark, that torque curve is nice!

[RaceMX-M3]

Smoothing is for pansies, 780 whp I nailed it. Now I'm off to get my 800 whp Stage 3 turbo. brotha. :D

[Fubar]

Okay I'll get my tune and you get your stage 3. Looser has to put one of these stickers in his rear window.

what did it make SAE with smoothing on 5? i might be the winner

[Kumar]

matt, we need a video of you racing mark for testing purposes

[Fubar]

sounds good to me as long as you don't need hearing aids to hear honks. :burnout:

I'll give you the jump as long as I get to use race fuel too. :D

On a side note, it turns out my fuel pumps are working fine. They are good to 1200 hp. Here is the math:

770 wrhp (always round up)
130 lost in the transmission
300 lot to the whipple
--------
1200 crank hp

Need more better fuel pumps.

[Fubar]

Is that the only change you made? I remember you saying it got hot. Like if you were lapping the car. Does that happen on the street?

I thought we might have a better technical discussion over here.

The car has only given me problems at the track on a hot day. It rarely breaks 200 on the street. I have been told by other GT owner with similar upgrades, that use of the motor's torque (3500 to 6000) is an effective way to keep temps down. Lap times are supposed to be very similar but I have not tried this technique yet.

Interesting. Didn't know it would do that. At the Texas Mile, I watch tons of guys with Shelby GT's pouring ice in them to cool em down and run faster. I never knew what they were doing, and it was comical to watch. Now I understand. I had that problem with heat on my Turbo but it was a computer issue and not what you had. I wonder if the Vette has heat issues like that (ZR1). Come drive it. I won't jack with timing anything. I could care less. Would love to see it haul.

[Fubar]

I suspect the guy at The Texas Mile are trying to artifically cool their intercooler fluid. Typically the motor has ample time to cool down between runs. I barely get over 180 going down the mile. You have to beat on it pretty good to get over 240.

I'd love to join u guys at the track. When is the next available date?

Oh bull. You can beat 180 in the mile. Funny.
Fordham has a deal on 4/30 and also 5/8. One is at TMS, which would suit your car, and one is at MSR, which would be harder on you.

No, my schedule has been a little dicey lately so I've been weary of committing more than a week or two in advance. Assuming that tuning and brakes get done this week, I'd be game for TMS. Are there any openings?

Send a PM or email to Steve. It is with another driving company, and who I don't remember. You would be welcome to come. I have been warned to not be so brazen in the driving on the round part. I was just thinking you could hammer down. Some people are saying be careful. Never done that track at all.

I got my hand slapped by the staff for going 160 or so. The trickiest part for me was the transition from the oval back to the infield.....banked to flat. But I felt very comfortable on the oval at speed.

How funny. You can't go over 160? Guess I need to wear gloves.
I'm sure doing 160 makes is a tough transition slowing down so much before the turn for anyone.

Blowing by an instructor on the oval perhaps.

Blowing by an instructor on the oval perhaps.

Haha. Oh sh*t. Didn't think of that. I will sissy it up a few times until I get comfortable. I am guessing you get to start at about 10 mph or whatever speed when you enter the track, and you have 1.5 miles to get up to your speed and then slow down to re-enter the infield track?
