Aye bro can I have your number jus question about my fox in what to do thank you

[@Tintguy1985]

Awesome Matt ,. I literally just saw this now. 👍

[@luecreative]

AYEE I KNOW THAT CAR!! Thanks for coming and capturing this moment with us man! Definitely one of my top 5 days of 2022!

[@GearHead704]

Man it was a blast buddy! Thanks for letting me share some of the calypso journey here with the channel.

[@BrailsfordsRides]

Pretty much exactly my goals for my 4 eye as far as the basics of the build

[@BrailsfordsRides]

Was hoping to see it pop 300

[@Tintguy1985]

Great job on the video,. The time you put in to making the footage is appreciated. My build is 80 percent done . It's snowing here in Boston and these videos keep me going. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you this year at foxtoberfest. Thanks Matt

[@GearHead704]

Hey Daryl! 80% man you are so close, so Foxtoberfest should be a blast for you then! Hope to see you there and thanks for watching.

[@guyver650]

Good numbers and enjoyable on the street. My dyno was done at Dez Racing 306/Gt40p heads 277whp 324 back in 2011. Still running great.

[@myeighty-nine7813]

Thats super good for a gt40 setup, you car should be making a little over 300 to the wheels though Matt you gotta get her dynod again!

[@GearHead704]

Yeah I was surprised, I think maybe my engine is tired.

[@myeighty-nine7813]

@@GearHead704 Possibly but still I think theres something hiding away on your car or something that needs to be tuned out! some boost would fix that 👀👀👀 lol

[@devingullatte3859]

This is exactly why I don’t want to change my gt40p heads because a lot of guys make similar power with aluminum heads

[@midnight347]

@@devingullatte3859 some guys make similar power with aluminum heads because their combos aren't put together right and doesn't compliment one another. I'm talking about the heads and cam and intake if your combo isn't right or the cam is too small for the heads or you don't have an intake that takes advantage. This particular combo is just put together right with solid tuning. A good set of aluminum heads with a good matching cam and intake can make well over 300 like 330+ range pretty easy.

Awesome numbers for his setup, torque number is very good. Matt I think you and Harris need to do another driving video, I forgot about the removable steering wheel, honestly I never seen that done on purpose. It must be a Duke thing.

🤣 Definitely a Dook thing, lmao

Nice vid Matt. Lou’s car did well. Drive it and enjoy it. Respectable fun there to take to shows and drive anywhere with RELIABILITY! Such a shame quality has dropped in parts like it has. Surely puts a hamper on time and $$. See you guys in the Spring time for sure!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks a lot buddy! Yeah parts have been frustrating lately for sure. Matt went through 4 distributors recently to get one to work. Unreal. Definitely looking forward to see you all out and about!

[@chrishansen7004]

I bet there’s still 60HP left on the table. What cam does it have? These old windsors perform best with a cam that has a 107 lsa and Gt40’s do an amazing job with some porting

I'm curious as well. He has been loving it so far.

[@midnight347]

I bet he did it's making solid power for a gt40 setup

[@ronniehaley729]

So your trick flow setup was omly 282 at tires ? Did you ever find out if anything was wrong somewhere cutting it back a bit? My 306 victor junior heads performer rpm 2 intake 75 throttle body and anderson n91 595 lift cam made 356 at the tire. What stage cam is in yours ? I realize this video is a year old lol just found your channel

[@GearHead704]

It should have put out more. I think I had some computer issues. Anyway my vert put out 287. The car in this video though is not mine and was restricted by the factory mass air meter.

[@mike4fo]

Not bad my stock bottem end original 302 made 290whp and 311tq on a mustang dyno Ruth a trickflow top end kit and stage 1 cam

[@GearHead704]

Good to know! I think my 306 engine may be a little tired.

[@hotrodray6802]

You need to vary the cam advance until you hit the sweet spot. Usually good for 20/20. Yes its a pain on a SBF and costly on the dyno, but ......

[@willsmith8586]

I feel like your vert should be making more power than that with the TFS kit. Maybe roller rocker sizing or maybe your motor was built a tad tight. I know a tight timing change can consume up to 10 HP, which is crazy. The Calypso might have the opposite. it sounds like the motor has a bunch of used parts. I wouldn't be surprised if that timing chain was already broke in. He might be running those Cobra 1.7 Rockers as well. The custom cam is probably perfect for it.

[@GearHead704]

I agree with you, the vert should. We actually found some computer and computer injector harness problems that I think will fix the car the next time it goes on the dyno.

[@halljam70]

Which elgin cam is he running? Great looking car.

[@robertwest3093]

Excellent numbers for a gt40 setup. Even the AFR heads only go around 300 or so depending on tune.

[@midnight347]

The best heads cam intake setups for stock bottom can make 320+ of its a really well thought out Max effort combo but this is solid for gt40 stuff.

[@bradykile4598]

I had gt40 heads. Gt40p intake. Lightly ported stuff. B cam. E85. Don't even think fuel made a difference but that combo made just over 300 to tore. BBK shorty headers. And that's it

[@sHiFtY-5-oh]

Great video I see that this car has barely anything done to it and in my opinion makes a ton of power for what it is like you said it would definitely benefit from a new MAF but other than that I think the horsepower numbers would be almost even with yours?. I don't understand there has to be some kind of work done on those heads to be making that kind of power pretty cool though super clean love the way everything has been painted and detailed under the hood another gorgeous 🦊 😍 ... I checked out your new channel by the way left you a comment there and sub'd! Hopefully we get to see those 18in reimagined cobras on Tarheel soon!

[@GearHead704]

Thanks Shifty! I wonder if my 306 may be a little tired? IDK, but I was surprised by the numbers for sure. I was trying to get the 18s mounted yesterday but had some issues getting local tire shops to mount the tires, hopefully next week though! Thanks much for the sub over there, I definitely need to put some more content on that channel soon. Have a great day!

[@sHiFtY-5-oh]

@@GearHead704 well you could kind of get an idea by doing a compression test to see what the numbers are in all 8 cylinders and also what your oil pressure is can give you a little bit of an idea to depending on how the motor was built for bearing tolerances and what oil pump etc... I'm sure Matt from foxresto would be able to give you a good idea once you guys do a compression test I've had a buddy that ran the same setup you are and he was right around 300 so I think you're pretty decent there's other things that you can probably do to gain a little bit to get a little more he had an electric fan and no power steering but if it's a driver and definitely want your power steering unless you do like a Volvo electric pump or something so that kind of bumps it up HP a little bit too! I thought it was really low because I had an Edelbrock set up on my car and I used to put 2-3 car lengths on him every time we ran against each other and he had a fresh motor and his didn't rev as high either but some combos or just odd balls I think my car was gifted one of those Wednesday cars or something LOL

[@whatthefox302]

Do you run a stock ECU in your Vert? Also is it an auto or a manual? I believe if you do aftermarket H/C/I then the stock ECU is trash you need something aftermarket just like all the aftermarket stuff on the engine itself. Definitely need to think about that cause a custom dyno tune on a Holley Terminator X would be a better option than that stock stuff!

[@GearHead704]

My vert is a stock ECU with a SuperChip. It is a manual (T-56 Magnum). We are going to build my 347 on a stock ECU with a SuperChip and 90mm MAF and will see how that guys. If numbers are low I'll definitely look into something like a Terminator X.
