Great build!

Thanks guys! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and have been a regular on Modded Mustangs for a couple of years. A link to a thread about the C&L manifold brought me over here and opened my eyes to a whole other knowledge base so here I am and I'm loving what I'm reading. I'll get my garage and sig up soon.

You're welcome Whats up rstrick

waiting for results on this and the C&L before i pull the trigger, the suspense is killing me!!!

I hope the gains will be 25 or more rwhp from the manifold.

 

[BlownPony306]

Looks amazing! As everyone else has stated, I can't wait to see what sort of numbers this beast lays down!

 

[W1ldcat]

Patiently waiting!!!

i got me a boner off those pics...jesus that motor looks sweet

 

[NastyStang113]

It'd look really good with a black powdercoated JPC intake !!

 

[silverstang07]

any updates on this?

Bump for more info!

Rick - How is this build coming along?

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been extremely busy and in and out quite a bit lately. Just wanted to give a quick update.

We had the car on the dyno with the stock intake manifold and Ford Racing Throttle Body. It made 403 RWHP with the start-up tune and I think there is probably 10 HP more or so in the tune. We took the car off the dyno, because we want to put aside a full day where we can get the most out of it with the stock manifold, then swap the C&L manifold and a few other things all in the same day. We may also try the C&L racer CAI which should arrive Monday.

Hopefully I'll have more results within the next week.

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the update Rick, I can see at least an 30rwhp gain from the C&L Racer/Manifold combined if you test them together.

That's sick! I def see a similar setup in my future.
Would you see any issue with throwing a 75-100 shot at the motor as well?

 

[TurboPete]

Very Nice , Rick is the 323 only available in high compression set up or will Livernoise also be making a lower compression engine as well.

Is the car an auto? I have to confess a little disappointment. I mean, there are a few cars with heads/cams and full bolt-ons making 380+ rwhp, so I'd expect an extra 42 ci and an extra point of compression to net a bit more than ~30 rwhp. Though the stock intake has to really choke this setup, maybe the C&L will let it breath and then the numbers will really fly.

I see no issue with nitrous.

We can build a low compression version for boost as well.

No, It's a manual. IIRC, it made 280 RWHP stock. Even though it is a big bore stroker, it's still small cubes. A stock Shelby GT500 or 427ci LS7 Z06 only makes 440 RWHP on this dyno.

Like I said, I think there is more power left as it sits and we are hoping for good gains with the intake/CAI.

Very Nice!

 

[470 GT/CS]

I've never seen over 400rwhp w/o an aftermarket intake manifold before. :O

Do or die time...

Do or die time...lets see what the intake does...
