According to the combo in your sig. our combo's will be similar. I do hope for 700rwhp but anything over 650 will suffice me!
I jusy want some mid 9's at 140+
What fuel was your tune done on?
I'm thinking of going w/ E85...
What fuel system do you have?
Click to expand...

I tuned mine on 93 octane with methanol injection. I had the meth setup to come on initially at about 2 PSI, and was full on by about 12 PSI.
For a fuel system I have a Glenns Performance sumped tank, and a Weldon 2025 pump with the fuel pump controller. Weldon regulator, Aeromotive rails and 60lb injectors.
I was only seeing a max duty cycle on the injectors of 65- 70%
I have been thinking about trying E85. But I think I'll need more injector to be safe.

On the subject of fordstrokers.com... Does anyone know what the liberator 331 or 347 shortblock are rated at for RWHP?
Click to expand...
Depends on which block you choose. Give Jim a call and he can go over this with you. He's real easy to talk to, not a pushy salesman type.

Sounds good! I want to go with the complete Glenn's 1000hp kit. Any reason you didn't use his whole kit?

Definately! Jim is great to work with from beggining to end. Very reasonable on rates, shipping, etc..

Who makes this?
I have a Lokar flexible dipstick in my stock pan now. Does Canton make one for their pan?

The Lokar "should" fit. But Canton just started selling their own. Call Canton and they can refer you to the closest retailer to your city. BUT I would try the Lokar first. Make sure to get it in there while the engine is out.. We put my engine in BEFORE, which is why the dipstick is still sitting outside the car. I just put in 6.5 qts of oil for now, and none has leaked so I should be fine. I can test with dipstick when I do first oil change.

Good Luck

I was going to go with the kit he had, but I was concerned that it wouldn't be big enough once I swap my current supercharger out for a big one, or switch to a turbo setup. I only wanted to buy the stuff once, so I went with the Weldon setup so I had a little more room to grow in the future.

The prices for Glenn's setup are hard to beat, and I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Thanks, I might give my Lokar a try and see how she works.

Sounds good bud!
I know that i'll never make more than 1000hp so I'm almost dead-set on doing a complete Glenn's kit.
