Victor Jr. Series performance

[vetteeatr]

K guys I have a 88 mustang that has been souped up but just doesnt have enough engine for me to have enough fun with and parts are to expensive.

Luckily I allready had a 85 T/A wiht a carburated 305 in it for my first car but it died........

<br />SO i have a 85 T/A that looks like shit but it just so happens i can now do bodywork and paint cars so that it not to big a deal.

Basically I want a race car that I can drive on the street and maybe get 15 MPG from it.

I want reckless speed

I wasnt great sound

I want high revving motor that scares people from 2 miles away

So i was gonna trash the 305 throw in a 350 and wait till my tranny breaks which i imagine wont be long and then get a race one.

Now finally I was wondering What do you guys know abotu the victor Jr. series

I knwo they are more race components going upwards in the 7000rpm range and im sure they will suck some gas.

If i was to get teh 23 degree heads and the intake and like a 850 carb and a beast camshaft(Any Ideas?) What woudl you guys think i woudl be putting out?

Is there a Victor junior camshaft?

Oh also ill probally put in some 12.1 pistons<br />and some long tube headers with some other exhaust mods

<br />Any power estimates???

Thanks

Well, I'm not the best at estimating, but based on carburation, your target rpm and compression...

If you achieve peak volumetric efficiency at around 7000 rpm, (with the proper cam and intake choice) AND you can prevent detonation, you could (easily?) be moving 700 cfm through the motor. This is about a 97% efficiency, assuming a .030 over job on your 350. That is possible, with the correct manifold, and if your headers are the proper length for 7000 rpm. Now, 700 cfm is 52.4 pounds of air per minute, and after some magic calculations, 52.4 lbs of air can support about 450 hp at 10.6:1 compression. So if you can get it to run at 12:1, you'd'man and you are looking at possibly another 100 hp. Reminder, 10.6:1 is about the limit with 92 octane.

Why not look for some more stroke, and sacrifice the 7000 rpm for better low end? Unless you have the $$ for the crank and rods, you probably won't be able to put 7000 rpm down to the pavement to launch there anyway, and with a good high end intake, your low end power will be *reduced* to say the least.
