Tonight I finally ran a 13 second pass in my ute.
My best run was a 13.901 @ 100.47mph with a 2.133 60'. Only had three runs all up, first run I went gentle and ran a 14.0 @ 100.4x with a 2.19x 60'. Last run was a wheel-spinning basket case :P I was shifting really early, about 5600rpm, so there should be more in it as it is. Ran it in exactly the same "trim" as my previous PB (14.153 @ 99), but with the GT40X heads and some mild fuel and spark tuning. This is still with the original unported Explorer lower intake, probably flowing 20-30cfm less than the intake port in the heads. Cant wait to see how it runs with a decent intake ![]()

Great work....change at six grand and you will get some 13.7 time slips @ 101mph.
Cheers, Craig. |

Thanks guys. Would be interesting to see just what happens to mph with shifts at 6000rpm. I am curious to see just how much the std explorer intake is holding the combo back.
Yousef, it must have been 18mths ago when I said i'd have the ute back on the road in a few months. It took a bit longer than that, but its done now and it works good ![]() Maybe we should celebrate with a kart session somewhere ![]()

Nice work mate, great to see.
I doubt shifting at 6000rpm would help as power would be rolling over by then.

Runner length and port flow aside, the minimum port cross-section of the explorer lower is crazy small. I haven't done the math, but I wouldn't be suprised if it is choking the 5L by 5500rpm. Must do that before I begin porting. If I can sort my wideband, then i'll get out there in the next couple of weeks, otherwise I might wait until ive ported and swapped out the lower intake (probably a couple of months).
