Done

Last week I completed the Paxton installation on the 90's Mustang GT. Pressuretube from charger to intake was rewelded to correct angle, some bracket mods and wiring partly redone. First impressions, except for a little whine the paxton runs smooth and quiet. Testride a shock, the car lacks power from standstill doesnt even spin the tires. After checking boost and fuelpressure over the rpmband its clear that everything is working properly. Boost is coming in at 2500rpm with about 1psi and rises to 5psi at 4500rpm. There is a noticable powergain above 3000rpms, but the engine is now definitely weaker below 2000rpm, it has to work the charger and there is no measurable boost. Maybe that wont be noticed with shorter rearend gearing, but the 2,76:1 takes its toll. Also there is less vacuum for the brakebooster when you close the throttle and the idlestepper is confused for about some moments. G-tech and AP22 will tell the realnumbers next year.

Paxton

Every Peterson Publication will tell you "easy weekend job". Real life is, four evenings are gone and its still not possible to close the hood, this f* Paxton is sitting to high, beside several other things that have to be modified. Proud to be American Made, you are kidding!

Truxmore Torino

There is a good chance to see one more NASCAR running beside the Olympia Charger at LeMans Classic in 2008. Junie Donlavey's Truxmore sponsored Torino with a Boss 429ci engine was running 1976 24 Hours of Le Mans. For latest News go to Truxmore Torino, the racecar currently undergoes restoration.
