Progress Thread BluePrint 347 long block engine swap

[Habu135]

Well, after a long winter it's finally done and ready for some summer fun. Just got it back from the tuner. It made 613hp and 573ft/lbs torque on 8lbs of boost. Way more than I thought it would. And it was still making horsepower at 6000rpm. Ignore that dip in the torque curve. That's where the table switching comes on when the water/meth starts spraying. He fixed that with a couple more pulls, this was just max hp. He said I could easily repully it and make a little more boost without any problems. We backed it down to about 560hp so it's fun and reliable on the street. He said I can always put a degree or two of timing back in it at the track if I want to without a problem. I'm stoked!

Outstanding! Congratulations.

Yeah, that's some serious hardware! It's going to be a riot

Very nice. I've considered this as an option but the 10:1 comp worries me with my setup and boost.

I really wish they'd come out with a 9:1 or offered a few options. I couldn't pull that off without the intercooler and meth you're running.

Congrats. Those are bonkers #'s for a Fox!

What's the next retirement project besides changing rear tires?

I'm sure I can come up with another project before next winter. The wife has a list of honeydo's I've been avoiding, so there's always that For now I'm going to just enjoy the nice weather between this and the fishing boat. Summer's are real short around here, so you have to take advantage of them while you can.
