Guest 4.3L 280z Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Well I raced my friends 13.8 mustang gt today and I was about 3/4 second behind. This was on the street cause the strip is closed today but that surprised me for being just a 4.3L with boltons! Its fun as hell with the shift kit in the tranny it spins a little from 1st to 2nd and chirps them from 2nd to 3rd. I'm about to get vortech heads and the edelbrock cam to go with my intake and I think I'll take him. I need to check the accuracy of the tach though cause it says its shifting at 4500 in drive and I don't know how accurate it is so I don't want to shift it manually. I'm definately happy with my swap though and thanks for all your help with the problems I had getting it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4.3L 280z Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Well I just noticed I made another stupid mistake and didn't have the vaccum advance plugged back in after I set the timing. Maybe I'll beat him tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4.3L 280z Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I'm still getting a real good jump on him with the open differential. I want to get a limited slip eventually but hes really pulling when I'm in second then when I hit third it evens out after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
