Great interview with Mike. Learned tons of stuff about wastegate tuning. Watts links are cool but in truth suspension travel is so limited that the simplicity of a long panhard bar works out well.
FORD... First On Race Day! 💪🏆 I have a 95 with an aluminum Ford Racing 427 small block based on the 351w. It currently makes 434whp and 474wtq. I just installed a MegaSquirt Gen 2 PnP and I'm hoping to reach my goal of 500whp daily driven. Sweet video Andre and HPA team🏆
My engine mentor Ted Haywood built a 67 Shelby 350 to race Daytona. Black flagged during '68 time trials. 167.86 MPH lap speed, and 210MPH on the back stretch. They refused to believe it was a 289 pushing it. Teched and Dyno'd, it turned 504HP at 9krpm. Raced it all season long. What can you do with 2 valves?
Taking advantage of electronic waste gates is exactly the way I always wanted to control boost. So using both an electronic throttle body and electronic waste gate. The idea would be to have the throttle open wide with the initial application of the throttle and dial in boost by closing the waste gate to simulate the remaining movement of the throttle. i.e. for example maybe, 0-50% throttle position equates to 0-100% throttle body position, and the remaining 50-100% throttle position is done with the electronic waste gates and boost pressure. I wonder if this would make the turbo spool up faster and make the throttle position more linear since I have noticed on both my cars running higher boost looses some throttle position linearity?
So with the gate you , open it the engine thinks it’s n/a breaths better revs quicker the slap it shut from your data and off u go , also can be opened for cruising giving way more mpg , Look at old merc diesel turbos , they ran vac instead of boost , so until the engine is warm the Ecu keeps gate open 0 boost and no way to be hard on a cold engine

This guy makes for an awesome interview!
When is Mike getting on the podcast, he´s a legend and builds awesome cars!
Mike is brilliant! I love to listen to him talk about his builds. Thank you!
that rear end work is amazing!
1100 to the wheels at some point. Holy crap. I have the same car and think I have power with 475 at the crank. Oh baby!

289 504hp 9krpm. 1967 tech.
Awesome. I was there helping friends on the road course. I looked for you cause figured you might be there when I saw Mike
How'd it all go for your and your friend? Hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did 😎 - Taz.

At the end of the day its all just a metal box with tires, and this is a beautiful box.

Tell us about the transmission please
SADEV sequential is all I know on that front sorry - Taz.
Great interview
Those wheels look great, what are those? Whats the wheel and tire setup?
How to make an old muscle car handle? Throw every OE suspension component in the bin to start! 🤣

"doubling down" 😅
