After the entire spring/summer of being down, the car was finally up and running yesterday thanks to EPL in Stratford, CT. Right now the car is being retuned and the cams broken in with Napa 20W50 regular oil with a zddp additive.

After that happens the boost may be upped 20+psi and have a boost build/anti-lag setup for a truly frightening experience.

Will also have to get some in car videos up when everything else is squared away. :)

Tial 38mm with a Bosch Motorsports Diverter Valve. Not sure on the size, but it is made to handle more than the regular Bosch BOV. I will try to get my hands on a Dyno graph or two.

Thanks man.

Will try and get some when the car is running again.


In other news, if all goes to plan then there will be some major changes in the car following an update tomorrow. Will get some picture for sure. :)

This car looks amazing in person, pictures don't do it justice, the tires are enormous.

[325ix]

that thing is sick. WHat are you hoping to hit for power numbers?

[BenM]

Thanks guys. Car has already hit 347whp @ 18psi on 93 octane with water/methanol injection. That was on a Mustang dyno too which typically reads conservatively, I'd estimate it having close to 400 crank horsepower.

Boost controller has an issue now, but once that gets fixed and a few little odds and ends we may shoot for close to 400whp.

I like this thread.

That motor belongs in a shell worthy of it... Do it.
