the new converter is in. took the Capri in to do a couple runs on the dyno just to see what power it makes with the new Neal Chance converter before we take it out Test n Tune this weekend. same tune as before on BP Ultimate 98 when it made 648rwhp on 21psi. we were pleasantly surprised we were all expecting less power but it actually made more than it did with the previous converter ranged between 650 (fouled 7 heat range plug) and 673rwhp (new 10 heat range plug). but that was not the only gain, it picked up almost 200ft lbs of torque. it went from 500ft-lbs to 680ft-lbs. boost came on alot faster and it stalls up on the transbrake/2-step 5500rpm in a 3-4 seconds instead of 8-10+ seconds like before (amazingly we forgot to put a bung in the exhaust after we pulled the Lambda sensor out ) my other brother was looking at maybe investing in a Neal Chance converter, we were very impressed. i was hoping for a cuddle from my brother for telling him to go a NCR Converter but i didn't get it it ran 9.4@147 before, i think it should do a 9.0-9.1@150-152 now

horsepower and torque comparison with new and old converter.



here is one of our other little toys we are playing with, its a cheap as chips 302ci Windsor, when i say cheap i mean cheap engine cost us around AU$3000 just playing with it till the good 302 for it is ready. runs 11.1@119 that was on a dewy track. with the new 302 we are expecting low 10's. it used to run 10.5's@127 in the TTV8 Capri which weighed around 3000lbs, this new little Capri is around 200lbs lighter.
