MD Motorsports teams up with Modular Performance By: Ken Bjonnes Published: 02.24.2005
K&N Factory Stock racer and current record holder, Shawn Johnson has selected MD Motorsports to handle the tuning for 2005 on his 4V powerhouse. This partnership between MD, Modular Performance and Shawn is very exciting for everyone involved. Shawn finished 3rd in points for 2004, and considering it was an R&D year, the outlook for 2005 is very promising. 2005 shapes up to pick up where last year left off, the battle of the 4 valves.

Heads-Up Racing: A Perspective By: Bob Cosby Published: 10.29.2004
The 2004 NMRA Racing Season ended almost a month ago. As I started reflecting on my year, the things that had happened, my experiences prior to this year, etc, etc, I decided it might be kind of neat to put some thoughts down on paper (errr….computer). I thought that perhaps a few others might be interested or entertained by what was going through the small amounts of gray matter inside my brain. Eventually, those thoughts morphed into a short essay on what I have learned and experienced with heads-up drag racing, with a few random thoughts from the 2004 season thrown in for good measure. I hope it doesn’t put you to sleep too fast. Read More... |

How to get Maximum Acceleration By: Michael R. Clements Published: 10.12.2004
My interest in cars goes all the way back to my earliest memories, and ever since I took my first physics course as a young teenager I would constantly debate with my friends about torque, power, gearing and speed. Our standard topics of debate were what determined acceleration vs. what determined top speed, and at what RPM to shift for maximum acceleration. We all understood the basic physics about Force, Mass and Acceleration and their rotational analogs of Torque and Rotational Inertia. We also were all familiar with the standard phrase, "Torque is acceleration but power is top speed." But somehow this never seemed quite right (it isn't) and these ideas were never enough to resolve the debates.

Project 2VNA-10 By: Ken Bjonnes Published: 08.16.2004
It wasn't long ago that the holy grail for the 2VNA crowd was to run an 11. As far back as I could remember, John Edwards was the only one to do it, clocking in at 11.99. Fast forward a couple of years and the bar has been raised higher than anyone expected. Now the race is to the 10's Read More... |

Time Flies… By: Bill Putnam Published: 06.02.2004
The last commentary I wrote was back in February talking about the upcoming race season. To me it seems like it was last week that I wrote it but in fact it’s been three months. Where did all that time go? Racing. Not that the racing itself has taken up all my time but it has taken up all my spare time in which I usually write these articles. When racing Mod Motor, an open comp style race class, having the fastest or quickest car means nothing it’s all about consistency and cutting good lights. Read More... |

Mustang Guys: We’re the Lucky Ones By: Troy Velazquez Published: 04.30.2004
-A commentary on how truthfully cheap racing can be on this platform-
Hey folks, I’m back from a rather long sabbatical. After my cam ordeal, I sort of vowed to not wrench on my car for awhile. That combined with the absolutely terrible winter we’ve had in the northeast, had made it virtually impossible for those without garages to get anything done. However, now that spring is here, I have been spending some much needed time on my trusty daily driver 99GT, a car that I have literally put through hell, high water, and some really bad parts choices. Through all this, it has not wavered in its exemplary service to me…. Well, except for that dropping a valve thing. ;) Read More... |

Installing Aftermarket Camshafts and Valve Springs By: Bill Putnam Published: 04.05.2004
The Modular aftermarket is finally starting to catch up. Go back about a year or so and it was uncommon for a Modular car to have aftermarket camshafts. And if it did, they were probably factory regrinds. Slowly camshafts made from new billet cores started popping up on the market. Fast forward to the present and it's the hottest ticket for some easy power. If you can install the cams yourself, the price of the upgrade isn't too bad. So when I installed my cams I decided to document the procedure to help those considering doing the same. Read More... |

Tremec TR3650 to TKO Swap By: Dan Brodahl Published: 03.02.2004
Why make the change? The Tremec TR3650 is a front loader – the bellhousing is integral to the transmission. Per NHRA rules, an SFI bellhousing must be used when running ET’s less than 12 seconds in the 1/4 mile. There is no way to fit an SFI approved bellhousing to the TR3650. The TR3650 is also only rated at 360 lb/ft of torque. The base TKO is rated at 425 lb/ft. The TKO II is rated at 475 lb/ft. The swap buys much more torque capacity and permits the use of an SFI approved scattershield. While the ET rule mandates the use of a scattershield below 12 seconds, it’s really not a bad idea for anyone who regularly drag races. Clutch explosions can be pretty nasty – do a search on the web and you will find all of the carnage you care to see. |

Timing the 4.6L SOHC Engine By: Keith Mruk Published: 01.26.2004
The
process of setting the timing on a 4.6 2V has been described too many times as a
difficult job to do. With my trusty Sony digital camera at my side, I decided to
document the process to give others a realistic look at what the job really
entails. As you'll see, it's not that difficult as long as you work carefully
and pay attention to the details. To get to the point of setting the
timing, you should probably already have a decent shop manual to get through
everything it takes. With the help of the following tutorial and some
patience, you'll be a pro at 2V timing before you know it. Read More... |
