John Mihovetz is going to get the CFM numbers for me, they are in his notes. As far as the tests, we have a SuperFlow Flow Bench and test the TB's just like they test carburetors. The CFM is at various inches of water and if I recall, we publish the flow ratings at 28" of water. These are all...

First of all, I think that the OEM TB does have a smaller diameter opening in the rear but that's not relevant anyway. CFM is not just based on the size of the hole. It's based on how much air can go through the hole. All throttle bodies have a resriction in them, namely the shaft and blade...

I'm getting alot of folks asking what the Accufab TB and Inlet Support look like, so I'm going to get Jenniffer to put some photos up. Bare with me please.

Good question silverbullit. For whatever reason, Ford chooses to hook up the throttle body and the air cleaner / mass air vane, in all of their vehicles, with flexible rubber hose of some sort. It's never an issue most of the time, with the exception of a supercharged installation that draws...

I hate to admit it but I was just making up words as I went along, LOL. I have no clue what any of that meant. Seriously, I did understand the concerns but am 100% certain that the rubber boot will not wear out from the inside for about the next 100 years, using the Accufab Inlet Support. The...

Concern about the rubber wearing out do to "cycling" around the Accufab Inlet Support? I don't think so, or else Ford would never have installed the little (too short) OEM inlet support in the stock GT's, which actually has some sharp edges. Anyway, our studies have shown that the normal...

Well Freddy, we COULD go back to the old days, but we would need to get rid of the lawyers first, LOL.

I don't know what the SCCA roll bar or cage requirements are but I'm sure that the dynamics are quite different between road racing and drag racing. Road racing is a bunch of drag strips with turns between them. It would be very difficult to turn a GT over on it's top on a drag strip. You...

There is no "legal" 4-point roll bar permitted in NHRA (or IHRA). And regardless of the structure of the car or how well designed it is, that won't cut any slack with the NHRA. The purpose of my meeting at NHRA was to try and convince them that the GT is sturdy enough right now "as is", to...

You are describing a 4-point roll bar, which is not legal in NHRA. About the cross bar behind the seats, is it your intention to use that as a shoulder harnes mounting point?

Yes. A "legal" NHRA (or IHRA) roll bar or cage requires back braces, running from the top of the hoop down to the frame or rear floor. The GT has a "capsul" with a rear bulkhead (behind the seats). This bulhead is very heavily fortified because the entire rear assembly, engine, transaxle...

Yesterday, one of our customers (Greg Lutz) and I had an initial meeting at NHRA headquarters in Glendora, CA, with a couple of their tech staff regarding roll bar requirements, etc., and the Ford GT. Greg was kind enough to bring his GT over there to show them the general structure, etc. We...

In very simple terms, there is LESS than 1" of vacuum behind the throttle body on the GT even at the 18 psi level. This has been verified on my airflow bench as well as the dyno and the track. The size of the inlets on the car and airbox are more than adequate to support 800 rwhp all day long...

I can address some to the questions. The polished, billet throttle body is $629.99 and the Inlet Support is $119.99. John is still working on pricing (and availbility) for some of the other components.

Guys the inlet sleeves are in and we can ship today. Also in is the first batch of Accufab 75 mm throttle bodies. We filled a couple backorders today and have about 100 pcs of each on the shelf now. We will post some pictures of both parts on the site as soon as possible once our banner ad is...

I don't know if this is the right section to bring this up but as long as I'm on it, here goes. What if Fun Ford Weekend had a "GT Round-up" or something to that effect at one of the FFW events? We did this once before with the Mercury Marauders and "rounded-up" about 65 of 'em, from all over...

Ken, you may be right, however, a "fix" that will cost a customer around $100 or so to correct (when we sell the darn things) is a better solution (for us) than in trying to redesign the entire intake system. We were not trying to re-engineer the car, just come up with a pragmatic fix. As to...

As promised yesterday, here are the modifications we made to our customer's GT, so far. First, this is a street car, not a race car. Nothing we have done in anyway infringes on it's streetability or driving comfort. The first order of business was to put the GT on the chassis dyno (at Westech...

Yes Don, thanks for telling me about it. If I get a chance tomorrow, I will fill everyone in on the mods that we dished out on the GT that we have at our disposal.

Hello, I am new to this site. I'm the Tech Director for Fun Ford Weekend www.funfordevents.com I know Tony and his lovely wife Sherry quite well. The 10.44 run was at the FFW Spring Break Shootout at Orlando Speed World drag strip. I knew that Tony would be able to run quicker than 11.49...
