Dyno pulls - 354whp 339wtq stock short block 302 GT40y heads.

[@ebrowntaylor1]

People get so obsessed with chasing absurd HP/Torque numbers. Your car would DESTROY a lot out there with twice as much "power" to the wheels. This just goes to show how important gearing, curb weight, 60ft, traction, and driving are! This is so cool!

[@mikeymac9]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I’m just having a blast with the 302.

[@haydenjordan8441]

putting a very similar heads cam intake combo on a 351w in my 80's LTD. great inspiration right here!!

[@mikeymac9]

Cool man. That combo went 11.86 with a vic jr. swapped out the heads and cam since.

[@msk3905]

I haven’t been messing around with 5.0s in 20 years so has something changed, combos like this were lucky to make 300rwhp…@ 350rwhp that is mighty impressive!

[@mikeymac9]

I think well sorted combos have been making these numbers since the 90’s. The new heads and cam I just put on should make some really good power.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Nice numbers from that combo. Regular tfs tw unported gain about 30rwhp and 10 to 15rwtq on that combo.

[@mikeymac9]

Thanks man. I’m swapping to some TFS 190 11R’s and a custom cam for this season.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

@@mikeymac9 That thing is going to smoke. Everyone is going tight lsa for the N/A cars, more torque and power across the curve and that lope we love. Ed Curtis and Brian Tooley are two good people to consult with for the cam.

@@mikeymac9 I was little pissed about the Coyote 5.0 smoking us so good on torque and power on a streetable engine, Lykins did an engine that matches that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmKwoot6gaqFftk . A gen3 coyote with exhaust, intake and tune makes like 410rwtq and 480rwhp or so. With E85, they get 420-430rwtq and a little over 500rwhp. The gen3 heads flow 320cfm@.5", the gen2's flowed 280cfm@.5". gen3, cr is 12;1, gen2 cr was 11:1. The camshaft is under 210 duration @ .50" but DOHC heads flow better from .1-.4" or so, so it makes it act like it has a bigger camshaft.

@@dennisrobinson8008 Thanks for the link to that channel! Hard to find good Ford content. That 311 is a bad unit.

That thing gets down! Awesome!

[@mikeymac9]

Thanks!

[@Streetfox5.0]

Awesome Numbers!

[@mikeymac9]

Thanks man. I think it did pretty good for what it is.

[@ericbone6595]

sounds nice , i'm going run my exhaust all the way out on my Cougar , smaller cam , c6, I will be happy with 325hp at the crank :) , that's awesome at the wheels

[@mikeymac9]

Thanks man. I had tail pipes all the way out under the bumper at one point but wanted to lose some weight to help get in the 11’s and went with the aluminum mufflers. Saved 50 pounds. Cougars are awesome. Good luck!

[@lancegoulet8100]

Cougar? Interesting... ...I was looking for 70 Cougar convertible, but I found a really nice '69 Torino Fastback that I just couldn't pass up. I bought the Torino instead.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

He's obviously tuned very well.... The GT40p must be making some compression on that thing too.

[@jacobhenry1493]

I wanna see this video but with your new setup

[@mikeymac9]

Waiting on a date from the dyno shop. It’s coming.

[@harrisracing]

Did you run the plastic guides and stock lifters or are they upgraded?

[@mikeymac9]

I still run the stock plastic retainers and stock lifters even with the new combo.

[@19jody72]

What compression? 9.6 ish?

[@mikeymac9]

Maybe 9? Stock pistons, 66cc chambers, .039 gasket. .0025 in the hole.

[@WesternReloader]

Ed Curtis cam?

[@mikeymac9]

It’s a summit racing F303 plus in this video. I did order a cam from Ed for my new combo this year to go with some TFS 190 11R’s.

Awesome!

[@jdrods1519]

Awesome! 🇺🇸💪🏼

[@jeffpeterson1957]

Did you have to notch/fly cut the pistons? What year short block?

[@mikeymac9]

I didn’t. I had .010” on intake and .017” on exhaust. I’m guessing its a mid-90’s explorer short block based on the plastic lifter hold downs. Bought the long block used on Craigslist for $300 11 years ago lol

[@jeffpeterson1957]

@@mikeymac9 wow that is really close, not sure if you typed that right or not! They usually recommend 0.080-inch minimum on the intake side and 0.100-inch minimum for the exhaust valve

[@mikeymac9]

@@jeffpeterson1957 Yeah sorry move the decimal point over lol. 0.10 on intake and 0.173 on exhaust. Intake was close and plenty on exhaust. It’s seen lots of rpm and no issue yet. PAC Valve springs from Ed Curtis at FTI.

[@jeffpeterson1957]

@@mikeymac9 oh okay that makes more sense! Lol! Awesome thank you! I'm planning on using this same cam with 1.7 rockers and a stock bottom end myself. I have a set of bare Flotek 185cc thumper heads and I'll be using a single plane intake with a 650dp and 1 3/4" long tubes and 3" exhaust. I'd love to end up with some numbers anywhere close to what you made! Amazing car and combo you have there!

@@jeffpeterson1957 Thanks man! You might need to do a little clearance with the bigger 2.02 intake valve.

What valve spring are you running?

[@mikeymac9]

I talked with Ed Curtis and he put together a package for the GT40 Y’s. www.flowtechinduction.com/fti-gt40-k1-beehive-valve-spring-kit/

[@luisfrontera2950]

Do you have dyno numbers before the cam change?

[@mikeymac9]

I don’t have an apples to apples dyno test of just the cam. It made 318 with the TFS1 cam before I ported the heads. I do have good track data of just the cam swap. 12.10 @ 112 with the TFS1 and so far 11.91 @ 113 with the F303+. More tuning and seat time I think it has an 11.7x in it.

[@vrm86gt]

Good power! Good looking Torino too!
