Totally forgot to post an update on the Ripper Motor. The motor is sitting in the warehouse and ready to be dropped in. The question is do I have enough time to do it. Motor made right at 5##hp at 7500 rpm. The sad part is that it was not as huge as I would have expected it. The last motor has a ported Victor intake and this one a dead stock one. The cam is the same that is in the GT40 motor with a different set of heads (Edelbrock Victors) made 620 at 7500 or so and I think the tune that is on the carb might be a bit fat on the top according to the dyno guy, and maybe 20hp left on the table. That sounds about right as where it should be (If you knew the real number you would say the same). He could not quite figure out how to keep the curve right as it seems the DamBest carb might be on the smaller side, but he had never played with one so hard to say. I think it might be too, but he said he had not seen as good as throttle response on a carb motor for a long time. When all said and done made about the same power, but up on the RPM scale a bit, which is actually good since the 3.89 in the Mustang is at the limiter in a couple of spots at Willow and this will help keep things closer to where the power is.
