My numbers are in!!! Good news and Bad news!!!!

Da1cop · Nov 12, 2006

My car is still at Joe Donovans. I got held up with some issues and had to order some different parts(Long Story). Yesterday he put my car on the dyno for a very short time. The good news is we are at 741hp on pump gas. The bad news is a head gasket blew. I still had the orig. head gasket(96) on the car so it was time to change them anyway. Joe seemed to think that we may be able get 800HP. He said the curvs were awsome. He was amazed to see this type of power out of a gen I. I just wasnt planning on spending MORE money on the head gasket. By the way, I feel very lucky that I decided to go with Joe Donovan. This guy is a class act and very fair. He felt pretty bad about about the head gasket and is giving me a great deal at replacing them.

What was done to the motor?

Great numbers!!!!!

ditto and i never heard a bad thing about him, wish he was closer to me for tuning.

big-n-italian · Nov 12, 2006

unless you are going to "stud" the heads, you may want to consider backing the power down IMO.

Qualitywires.com · Nov 12, 2006

I would ARP the heads like biggie said. Upgrade the gasket of course...may want to go with a copper thicker gasket to allow more boost at a safer level.

That is some big numbers. What did You have done S/C or TT set up and

Are your heads still stock? If so, I have a set of custom Gen I heads flowing 320's on the intake (at .600), and I believe 250 on the exhaust(need to find the flow chart to be sure). Just done, PM me if you're in need...............

Also, Joe D knows me and I would be willing to send them to him for inspection for his ok prior to purchase. :2tu:

The rumor is that the VEC III has IAT maps. IAT issue was to blame for the V-notch problem. this would help alleviate it. This is what I was told.

Hey guys,
This is a bone stock gen 1 motor...right down to the throttle bodies, manifolds, and rockers. I deleted the cats and made our own cat back exhaust...which sounds very good I might add. Anyway, the car made 740 and 744 at 5700 rpm on 93 octane with NO I repeat no other adders(water, ****, nitrous)with a semi agressive tune. I was about to add the race gas with one more pull to flatten out the air fuel and pushed both head gaskets. With a set of arp head bolts, a set of multilayer metal head gaskets and a splash of 110 I am hoping for 800 at the wheels...we will see. I was a little upset by the head gasket issue, but I am glad it happened at my shop instead of out on the steet to Darrick. It will be back and running by the end of the week, so maybe we will have some good numbers to post soon.
See ya,
Joe

Joe,

You are setting the bar pretty high for these Gen 1 motors!!

Da1cop · Nov 13, 2006

Awesome numbers Joe great work. Congrats Darrick. That car is going to be a beast.

Casey · Nov 13, 2006

Very nice! :2tu:

carguy07 · Nov 13, 2006

Can you post the chart? Has anyone ever laid a Paxton pull over top of a Roe? I want to see where they make their power.

STUGOTS · Nov 16, 2006

I wonder if its worth upgrading to the VEC 3 if you already have a VEC 2

viprvenm · Nov 16, 2006

Give Roe a call. They just updated my VEC II to the VEC III and yes it does come with an IAT Sensor Wire. This must be connected to the PCM and is direct plug and play. The VEC III is available!

Da1cop · Nov 16, 2006

Check with Joe...I was thinking there may be some issues with the III.
