PSCA: John Mihovetz led the list of winners at the PSCA’s Shootout After Sundown at the Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday night after he downed veteran John Scialpi in the final, 6.20 to a slowing 8.24. Gary Soulages drove his Ford Lightining pickup to an impressive win in Outlaw 10.5, qualifying #1 with a 6.86 and earning the win with a 6.98 to 7.06 rout of Ron Weems’ GTO. Sandi Wold also picked up a win on the weekend in Extreme Drag Radial, cranking off a 7.79 to easily handle the slowing 9.19 of Jeff Longden.
3 Ford modular powered cars took out the Top 3 classes in the PSCA. as fantastic an achievement as that is, what is ever greater is all 3 engines were built by Accufab. Pro Street (like our Top Doorslammer with 5-sec & 6-sec turbo, NOS & blown cars) John Mihovetz won running a 6.20@232 4.6L Twin Turbo Outlaw 10.5 (6-sec cars running a 10.5'' wide tyre) Gary Soulages 6.98 4.6L Twin Turbo Extreme Radial (7-sec cars running on ET Street type tyres) Sandi Wold 4.6L Single 88mm Turbo Last edited by prasac; 02-08-2011 at 02:29 PM. |

Nothing quite like a modular. Badass.

factory crank with some mods has gone 6.23@232 aftermarket Bryant crank has seen a 6.19@235
a standard 4.6L block with factory internals, not far have seen some make it to 700+hp. throw in pistons & rods, good tune u can make inexcess of 1200hp. to make around 1200hp u don't need to go into alot of work, pushing past 1500hp is a different story. alot of work should go into it but not many people do it. weak point on the modular, even though its a 6-bolt main setup the caps (mainly 2) tends to walk a bit. the 5.4 alloy & cast blocks are very strong, and would be a good choice. |

The 4.6l blocks handle the power better , plus they rev easier than the nuggety 5.4's
