Back in the day, some folks were running Pro 5.0 with a stock block at 770hp. We all knew it was going to explode one day, it was just a matter of when. FTR, 1989 is the baddest year no matter what. Most aggressive stock cam and precision media cast intake before ford went to sand cast. Everybody with an 1989 dominated right out of the box. The fabled 87-88 speed density cars didn't pull as hard. Close, but not good enough. We had many on fresh gatorbacks running high 13s. Drive it like you stole it...

@@BrotherTom Thanks for the feedback. Is the e85 known to stretch the limits of the bottom end slightly in the fox world? On other manufacturers where you might have a block/gasket/rod or piston limitation on 93 octane, the e85 stretches it out a little bit more due to being extremely resistant to detonation and running cooler. So on the manufacturer i'm thinking about it lets those guys run another few psi very safely, where if they ran 93 octane, they'd bend a rod, destroy a piston or blow the head gasket.
@BrotherTom Жыл бұрын
@@dennisrobinson8008 that is a very good question. I think you could run meth injection with 93 pump gas to get a similar affect. It all comes down to the tune and RPM you push it to. If you stay under 6500rpm you 'should' be safe. Once you start pushing that you are playing with fire.

@495whp with the stock block that block isn’t going to take any abuse! That’s really pushing it if you ask me! We kept my brothers 95 gt with the exact same set up as you @430whp to have that 70whp cushion which is where these blocks tend to break. I think 450whp would’ve been more safe because you’d be able to beat on it all day, with 495whp you’re going to have to be careful with the amount of pulls you do
@BrotherTom Жыл бұрын
A lot of the "500hp issues" come from over revving these motors. The stock internals were not meant to go 7k rpm. If you keep your shifts under 6500 rpm (my MSD rev limit is set to 6200) and have a good tune your motor should be fine. Now that being said, the tuner I use usually gets you 'that number' and then pulls a degree or two of timing so that you don't get silly on a hot summer day and blow up your motor. Thank you for watching!

You are talking about it as if it's an exact science at xxx hp the block breaks it doesn't work that way. He has a really efficient combo and a stand alone it's good good solid tuning with good fuel it'll be fine. You don't tune the car to a certain hp level as if that is going to keep it alive.

Richard's videos are with no accessories spinning and no driveline loss and in many cases he just has straight headers. 600-650 on his dyno the way he tests isn't much above 500 rwhp in a car. It's the difference in the way he tests which is why bone stock 225 hp 302s.make 260 hp on his dyno. It's always been around 450-500 rwhp. You can go beyond that but you really gotta have good fuel and good tune and watch your rpms. If you're trying to spin it to 7k it prob won't last. Everyone always brings up Richard's videos like that is proving something different when you do the math his limits are about the same as the 500 REAR WHEEL limits everyone has always talked about.
