well lots of questions have come up here! I’ll answer them the best as I can, forgive me, I’m pretty hammered, lol.

I plan on running 18 lbs of boost for street duty. As for numbers I won’t say anything until I get them, but I do know what the 2.8H cobras are putting down with 17-19lbs of boost, so I hope for something near what they are getting. However i will also have a race tune somewhere in there for the big dogs with more boost. i won’t post up anything concrete until the car is tuned and dyno’d. None the less it should be pretty fun to whip around. The eaton had its torque, but the impressive thing about this KB is that it doesn’t lose torque, so it should make the car a lot more fun to drive than it was with the ported eaton on there :D.

Bill:  
no one really has any concrete numbers as to what the limits of the stock motor really is. There are some guys out there running around with 800 wheel on the stock short block and the motor still puts out a perfect compression and leakdown test. The only really weakpoint is the piston to wall clearance, which brings heat as the main issue, and as we all know, as you increase power, you increase heat. We’ll see how far this stock bottom end can go, and if it does bomb out on me, I’ll just have to build it to handle the power, which won’t be so difficult!

sorry if this post sucks, I’m pretty annhilated and I blame it all on 87fox. I’ll get back to everyone tomorrow!

I hear that blower makes good power up to around 30 psi on your engine…should be interesting on race gas. 🙂
