Well, another guy on campus saw me drive my camaro into the parking lot today, and said he wanted to race me once he did a few things to his car, mainly he was going to add a 100 shot of nitrous.

Wondering how close this race would be.

His specs

All I know so far:
302 Mustang
cat-back exhaust
100 shot nitrous


Just wondering what you thought.

DDyno put me @ or a little above 300-310 HP/415-420 TQ
I think stock 302's are around 210HP Not nearly as much TQ but with that 100 shot, what is he looking at??

Also, if I were to do a race, would it be better to go from a 15mph or so roll since I can't get traction to save my life. Or is dead stop better since i've got torque out my a$$?

 

A stock 302 should be 190-200 to the tires. Then a 100 shot and your talking 260-300 and the tq should be mid to high 300's. You down low, him walking by or evening it up on top.

 

Yeah, he'll get ya up top I think...

 

I agree with what others said. I'm curious though, why the stock torque converter?

 

It isn't the stock torque converter, it's a heavy duty with stockish stall speed.

It's my daily driver. So I like to keep very good street manners. The 60101 cam makes power at 1000 rpms so a stock stall speed is fine for daily driving. A higher stall just heats up the tranny and lowers it life at the speeds that I drive. I usually drive at or below 25.


Looking at the stock 302, i keep seeing 210-220 at the crank. So wouldn't that be 180-190 at the wheels?


Also would it be better to go from a roll or deadstop?

 

About 190 at the wheels bone stock. My dads 91 with a catback and pulleys made 212/276 to the tires. On a 100 shot even a stock should be close to 300 whp, and mid to upper 300s tq. Not to mention being lighter, a 270-300 whp fox body is a 12 second car with a decent driver.

 

I don't think it's a foxbody, it actually looks like a thunderbird? He said it was a mustang, but I finally saw it today as he was driving away. Saw a quick sideshot and it looked like a thunderbird, long and weird looking. Didn't look anything like a foxbody.

 

arnt 79-92/93 mustangs all considered fox bodys?, could be he would race with a different car or he might just not know the difference and actually have a t-bird/cougar they both had 5.0's in them

 

The Tbird was considered a "fox body" as well .

Not sure what he is driving but the post said fox so thats what I assumed.
