falcon coupe

Quick spec rundown as follows:
Standard 4v heads with single groove valves
Cam, Crow solid 272 / 280 duration @ 50, 630 thou lift
10:2:1 comp
Holley 850 dp with 1" spacer (all under bonnet)
Holley strip dominator manifold
Zero deck height
TRW flatop pistons
cold dipped rods
4ma crank (bottom end balanced)
Pacemaker extractors 2" primary with twin 3' x-membered exhaust.
Toploader box
4:88 gears


I am reasonably happy with the naturally aspirated dyno results, the Engine is a compromise, it has low comp to allow for the n2o which i can use at the track only, or the other choice is to remove the n2o setup and get some more compression into it, with 11:5:1 or more (which it can do with the large cam) it will go right over 300rwkw N/A.
I have just driven it and it goes quite well, lighting up the 275 tyres from 1st to 3rd gear, it should keep me happy for a little while, Hallam Performance have IMO done a great job getting the 270rwkw out of it with such a basic setup, so i will just enjoy it now, and weigh up the options next winter.

Edit, BTW this was done with a Mallory 140 using 3/8 fuel line.
Peak power was made at 7200rpm.

That's a great result i have similiar specs but the heads have got port fillers.Just comparing though the N figure we made nearly 10'000 N.Did they tell u what the N figure is by any chance?

Excellent stuff Nick, let us know if you take it for a run at Calder. I'll come and watch some GM products take a whipping. And you shift this manually awesome!

The N (Newton) is tractive effort (TE) or torque.

Torque = (TE x Tyre radius) / Rear gear ratio

(assuming test run in final 1:1 drive, ie: 3rd in auto or 4th in manual)

So with 275/60x15's and 4.88 gears (giddy up)..............

Torque = (9625 x 0.35metres) / 4.88 = 690 newton metres of torque.

That would be 509ft/lbs of tree stump pulling torque in the old scale! Do you have a neck brace from your local physiotherapist?

If the dyno guy inputs your gear ratio and tyre size before hand, it should do all the number crunching for you and just display nm or ft/lbs.

To convert:
nm x 0.7376 = ft/lbs
ft/lbs x 1.3558 = nm

Good Stuff Nick

It still feels great to drive??

When is the track time happening?

Hallam were also happy with the result?

And so when does the n2o get hooked up?

It still feels really good on the street, even with the big cam.
Hallam wanted 300rwkw out of it, but 270 is all it has with the current compression. (lucky they look after me and im not paying for 30 hours of dyno time).
The nitrous is hooked up and ready to go, but i won't be using it until i have had a couple of track run's n/a.
As far as the track goes, i am keen to get there, a few burnouts will finish off the tyres on it, then i can fit the drag radials i have in the garage, but with Christmas coming i think it will be next year due to working 6 days a week atm and all the chrissy piss up's.

Ohh, and i forgot to mention, the car was dynoed with pipes on and with pump fuel, it dropped power pipes off due to air reverberation in the collectors.

HIGH PORT

Will be good to see it down the strip if those figures are good you should see a high 11 sec pass in full street trim.

By looking at your dyno runs there i hope you realise that is over 50 pulls on the dyno that must of been one big day for that motor.

My car has been there since feb, it has had 2 engines and 4 cams tried in it, hence the large amount of dyno runs.
