after weeks of talking to people about this concern, I've come to the decision that this was the way to go, I'm only going to be running 8 lbs of boost, so the compression won't be much of a concern, plus im going to get steen to dyno tune my car so i completely trust them...

good luck also..where are u from? im assuming near steen racing...if ur more north (like around PA area) id recomend going to Lund racing...i know a guy that doesnt go to anyone but him....he got tuned for the street @ 750+hp |
i actually live in nj, near atco raceway, where steen is always at...wow thats a lot of hp for a stang!!

lundracing.com and check out SVTP's "a taste of home" forum...then go to Midatlantic Cobra Association....that all of the Mid atlantic states in 1 forum.haha..look at their sigs and most have tuned by jon lund/lund racing |
okay ill definately check it out!
|
Why do you need a PI swap?? Just run more boost. Youll make around 400whp since thats what your stock bottom end is limited to....
|
you can't run more than around 10 lbs on your stock block...and 10 lbs on my non pi stuff won't yield much more than 300whp

if I might pop in for just a second. You want to run 8psi on a 10:1 compression motor with hypereutectic pistons. If you're really sure you want to do that (don't get me wrong, I know this to be a really powerful combo but let me finish) then you really should build the bottom end. Sorry to be a negative nancy but I've seen it before enough times and it's just a matter of time before the bottom end gives out and you're stuck with a rebuild (just bolts and gaskets are $300+, assembly is 1000-2500). Or you can find a 99+ short block and just bolt it up so to speak.
You've got PI heads and intake, find yourself a 4.6 block on craigslist for cheap and spend the 300 bucks to machine it then buy a forged rotating kit and have it all put together. It's gunna be kinda expensive and it'll take a while but when you're done you can be happy knowing your motor will hold together when you're smoking a chebbie. |
costing me about $2k to build my shortblock right now. so if yours blows dude, you can have my stock one. :shock2: But blower cams FTW. See pm... lol
|
2K... lucky! I've got that and then some in the 5.4 I'm building now and there's still another 3K to go.
