Default Welcome to the club BUT

bubbaf100 Bubba welcome to the CC club. Most of what you have told on the forum I agree with. I do run into a bench racing problem with your MPG with a Brick of a truck and pulling a rig at 75-80 mph. If you have an aero kit on this, or your boat is a 12" row boat maybe. Full size, I would like to have a COMPLTETE spec on this motor, and what rear end ratio is in it?? I am sending it to FORD. I have built torque motors for my friends and myself. Torque is king. Some of the best builders are on this forum and are not pulling the VE you say you can Low 90's. Running an FI system with a dry intake manifold I get to just 90% on the engine dyno with a 1,200 cfm throttle body. Tryed a 1,400 cfm and got no change in numbers to make it worth the time. 2hp and 3 ft of torque. Responce was slower. Too much air. Vacuum was lower on opening. Where is the sweet spot of your torque and HP. 2,700 rpm's- to 3,200 rpm. Even running real lean. 20 is a maybe at best. CD on that truck is about 60-70. A brick. Rick L.
