fuel pressure with 24ers

[apv-stang]

i have had a butt load of problems with my fuel pressure

what do you suggest i set my fuel pressure on with 24s-having a hell of a time just guessing

my mods are: 1991 gt, stock h/c/i, 24s, 75mm matched mass air meter, 65mm tb, f-150 pulley, headers, o/r h-pipe, 5speed tranny, msd6a, msd coil, 3.73, mac upper and lowers, centerforce clutch

also does any body think i can beat a stock 96 cobra on a 75shot of spray-I think i can but all of my buddies dont

Set your Fuel pressure at about 39-40lbs with the vacuum dis-connected. I hope your using an FMU with those 24lb inj.
Also you should be able to take a stock 96 twin-cam Cobra with no spray. BUT if you do spray and your running 8 lbs of boost with the F-150 pulley you WILL deffinately beat your buddie at needing to install a new engine. (or head gaskets)
NO NITROUS with your stock set-up unless you have money for a new engine.:D

no man, my buddy with the cobra has a 75 shot on his car and wants to race me

im running the blower-without spray-

sorry for he misunderstanding

but ill try that and hit you back

You should run circles around him. Keep us posted!

Sweet. Nothing drives up the credit card like a home town pony car war!

Aint that the truth Brent!

APV, you should be fine. Those 96 Cobras are pretty slow unless you mod them pretty heavy.

[Jason915]

If and when you race that cobra film it and post it for us that would be sweet. A bone stock 5.0 with the little Novi should never be under estimated

[frank woodall]

Sorry about the mis-understanding, I would put my money on your stock NOVI blown car against a 96 Cobra with a 75 shot.

I'll step forward......Where do you live ? Lets do it !

I'll show you what a 'Little NOVI' can do to your Cobra.......

I meant you personally or your Cobra no dis-respect.......but please don't bash us by saying "We talked alot" . There are some sweet and fast cars here.

Glad I checked this thread again :) I saw what you post and this is what I have to say about it.

Okay man... I say HE WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND YOU!. However that is my opinion. As you explained what your mods were, I still say even with those mods including only a 75 shot off of a wet kit, I still don't think you are bringing enough to the table to put a whooping on him.

There are a lot of factors and reasons why I predict the outcome as such, to name a couple... the weight difference in both cars. Unless you have gutted out your 96 cobra, it is a tad heavier than a full weight fox gt. Also another factor, would be actual racing experience against a car like yours (not a 96 but a 98 cobra) but with more nitrous (125 shot / dry kit) and different wheel combo (this 98 cobra was on drag stars w/ nitto DR's).
I ran a buddies a-trim'd 90 LX coupe against him with practically the same mods as APV-Stang (stock h/c/i, etc) for the exception of his car being a coupe and him having chrome ponies w/ drag radials. Needless to say the 98 cobra stayed with me until the first part of third gear and then I pulled him after the first part of third and beyond, this was a highway race all the way till 4th gear and by that point he was rear view mirror food.

Comparing this and other similar experiences like it, is why I predict such.

Bring a 125 to 150 shot, then I say you MIGHT have a darn good chance. 96-98 cobras are awesome cars, PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG BY MY POST.

I am just stating my opinion, if you beat him AWESOME, if he beats you I give the same merit.
