so whats the status of the bewst?
The kit arrived and is now waiting patiently to be put on the car. Yesterday I picked up a brand new MasterPower T70 with .96 a/r off of Corral for a great price, so that's the turbo I'll be running. All I need is an MAF and a wastegate now and a few tiny odds and ends and it's good to go. The dilemma now is whether I run the kit on the stock motor and blow it up within a few months, or sit on the kit while I build a forged bottom end with trickflow heads and intake... What would Stangnet do?
not to give my new numbers away, but im making around 500 on 11-14lbs right now, car is my DD drive it 95miles a day and no issues. Stock heads, cams, bottom end, trans, and rear end... When BWR dyno day comes around I will be doing some showing off
Well, that's good to know! You're running a 62mm right? Do these motors have issues with popping head gaskets under boost or anything like fox cars do? Do you run ARP studs and boost-friendly gaskets?
yea im running a Precision 62mm Billet Compressor Wheel, stock bolts and gaskets. You will throw a rod or blow a piston to bits before you blow the head gasket on a mod. The only problem I have running more than 7lbs is blow by out of the pcv, the fill neck and the dip stick.
How do you go about fixing that?
Also, what are you running for a fuel system? Stock lines and rails? I was thinking of running a 255 in-tank with a 255 in-line and 60# injectors. What MAF did you decide to run? Sorry for the questions! If you don't want your combo all over the internet feel free to PM me
Did you ever get your seats put in?
Naw it's ok, Im running stock rails and lines w/ dual Ford GT pumps w/o a BAP. 39lbs injectors and PRO-M maf w/ 30 point config.
From what my brother said my pumps are good till 600hp or 700hp w/ a BAP new lines and rails. The maf w/ a bigger tube should be about the same hp.

And the Oil blow by can be stopped by installing a oil catch tank on the pvc.
