I should also mention the low rpm drivability on this is outstanding...45mph, 1600rpm in 5th gear, no bucking at all...awesome job Ed

Angry_Man · 04-02-2012, 01:54 PM

Does the cam card refer to it as a "street beast"?

tripleblackvert · 04-02-2012, 02:21 PM

Nope. SBF Rebel series

I had to install it at 2* retarded on the timing set. The .050" opening events are still about 1/2 a degree advanced...close as I could get it.

tripleblackvert · 04-02-2012, 02:29 PM

Hell add 700lbs and its still an 11.90-12.0 setup @ 3450 race weight

Angry_Man · 04-02-2012, 02:31 PM

Very impressive track times. What sort of vacuum does it pull at idle?

tripleblackvert · 04-02-2012, 02:34 PM

I don't know lol
Only vac line on my car is for the fp regulator....which is stock..

tripleblackvert · 04-02-2012, 04:00 PM

I don't know either..dizzy is at 10 base..i told the tuner "aggressive as possible" lol...

First time out went 12.004 @112 changed the meter and intake and need to run it again. My 3400 race weight kinda kills my et.

tripleblackvert · 04-06-2012, 03:03 AM

Yeah sure does! Lol

Project Reef Blue · 04-06-2012, 01:27 PM

Good job trippleblack vert! How the heck did you get that thing so light?

tripleblackvert · 04-07-2012, 03:28 AM

Sacrifice my friend, haha..

Went to the track again last nite, blew 3rd gear apart...that didn't take long lol

Stock t5? How were you shifting?

tripleblackvert · 04-07-2012, 09:02 AM

i powershift that ho...i dont have time to be lifting my foot off the gas, wtf?!?! lol

stock-ish t5..rebuilt it all late last season(august maybe?) new 3rd gear, all new synchro's bearings, etc, steel bearing retainer and billet cluster support..tore it back apart this winter and added a new 2nd gear and 1-2 slider, cuz i ran out of cash during the first rebuild, otherwise those would have been replaced them...

so i made one pass last nite, with 2 full street tires/10 holes in the trunk/rear seat, and some other #### for added weight, short shifted at 5800 and left at 3900 on the 2 step, trying to sandbag cuz i dont have a rollbar yet..still went 11.45 @ 117mph

2nd pass, same setup, hit 3rd, then 3rd hit me back lol

i have over 400 powershifted passes on this trans in the past 3 years with the last h/c/i combo..this setup lasted about 8 passes hahaha

93twfox · 04-07-2012, 09:32 AM

lol I figured you were power shifting. I was just curious, I've got a stock t5 (minus steel bearing retainer) behind my motor. Yours took a beating before giving out though, tough little t5.

tripleblackvert · 04-07-2012, 09:40 AM

the light weight had to help im sure...i even switched to an aluminum flywheel with the new setup in hopes of hitting it a little softer..guess that didnt help

GilroyRacing · 04-07-2012, 11:04 AM

What are your plans now?

JOHNNY HORSEPOWER · 04-07-2012, 11:05 AM

Very nice times on the track for the dyno numbers. I wish my turd was that light. I need to find out how much my car weighs and put it on a diet somehow. I would really be flying if I can take a lot of weight out of my car and be as light as yours.

short term, throw a spare trans in and shift like a pu$$y

long term, A5 gear set

2 cam sam · 04-08-2012, 08:57 PM

Nice combo and runs. Its nice to see one running so strong with minor mods. Do you no what the da was when you ran ?

justintx75 · 04-08-2012, 09:51 PM

could you give us some more details on the set up such as were the heads ported?

tripleblackvert · 04-08-2012, 10:04 PM

DA on those passes was about 1250ft

heads were milled .005"
i went thru the heads with some 80grit cartridge rolls and smoothed out the rough casting marks, and blended the bowls a bit..didnt remove much material at all..was too afraid to ruin them

3rd gear doesnt work anymore

Lol, I understand that. The A5 is a badass trans I've been wanting one for a while now..... But after talking to mark (ford freak) and Ricky (331TW) I am saving my pennies for a face plated TKO!!

tripleblackvert · 04-09-2012, 07:04 AM

I wasn't expecting much...i WAS running a Bcam after all...Bcam would never have done that to my poor T5!

89koup · 04-09-2012, 11:09 AM

not that it matters because the numbers are awesome, but is the 6k rpm limit a function olf the stock bottom end or the cam or...everything?
