Ford updated the CDF Drum and aluminum shell starting on build dates August 15th/16th Of 2022. Even with updated parts a 10R80 can be headed south if the clutch packs are toast. Really depends on much the previous owner beat on it.
After seeing all the 10R80 builders and the so called āstage 1ā, āstage 2ā , 800hp package, 1200hp package etcā¦..itās a bit muddy for me. Whatever āpackageā I decide on, at a minimum itāll be double the HP Iām currently at. If this was a street car Iād be less concerned, but asking it to live...
Yes, you definitely need to make it down next season. It went 10.44 at 131mphā¦thatās with a 100+lb cage in it. I get my barrel of E85 from Forged Fuels, heās based in St.Helens area but he also delivers. He has a Facebook and Instagram page.
Thanks! Iām going to a 3.73 rear gear at the same time as the rebuild, I expect to improve the ET. The actually āshiftingā should happen quicker and be more consistent for sure. Unfortunately, I wonāt know until March/April when the new season starts up.
Well, after approximately 150 1/4 mile passes, the 10R80 has decided itās done. Almost all the passes were with the 3:55 rear gear and car weighing about 3300 lbs. The last 30 passes were with a Circle D converter. This car has spent its entire life shifting at 7500+ RPM. Car made 500 HP last...
After running a best of 10.52 last season, the car went 10.45 NA at 130 last Friday. With a 3.55 rear gear and weighing about 3500 lbs with me in it, Iām pretty happy with the progress. Rear tire is the Hoosier DBR 28/10.5-17, which has worked better then the ET Street R at our home track. The...
Made it back to the track and reset our best ET, but only by 1/100th. Ran a 10.51 at 129 with a 1.57 60ā. Thatās with a 3.55 rear gear. Weāll definitely be switching to a 3.73 which should improve our 60ā. The plan is to run June 12th, 13th and 14th. With my son driving this time and a few car...
I finally decided to try and make my own OTR intake. I didnāt have to use the Ecoboost radiator to gain clearance because of the Kaenen āBubbleā hood I run(No hinges or latch, it uses Dzus fasteners). I ended up buying tubing bends that I didnāt use trying to figure out the correct bends I...
Itās all in alreadyā¦you can see the handle in the picā¦.its up top. That being said, the parachute is removable and wonāt be on the car until itās supercharged.
