i'm ready for the new engine to go in. i have only driven the car 2 times since MW in late july! i just gotta decide on what clutch to get and then get a new blower pulley and it will be finished. i'm thinking i'm gonna go with the spec stage 3+. it says it has better drivability than the stage 3 and holds harder.

Why limit yourself to what the stock 6-rib pulleys will allow. You've got the backing for it now, why not convert to 8-rib and make some serious power? Unless your fues system wont' be up to it?

i have an 8 rib kit ready to go on it.

fuel system should hold out for a little power. i have an 03 cobra tank with twin GT supercar pumps with a modded FPDM. i'm not sure where it will max out at but i think it will be close to its limits.

Your car is sick man, I think it took up half the MW pics in my camera...

Good luck on getting it up and running, im sure its going to feel like the first time you felt boost all over again.

my car is far from magazine material but i do like it. most other people like it a lot more than i do, but i guess it's b/c i always have to work on it that my opinion isnt that high. it always put down low numbers for what was done to it. the highest it ever put down was 375/385 with the S/C and no IC.the first IC dropped it to 344/347 and was b/c of the lost boost i believe. the latest IC brought it back up to 370/371 i think and it had terrible idle issues and shredded belts like crazy!

i hope this new setup will be a lot better. i'm still debating on the P51. the nitrous intercooler spray is here now, so i think with everything it should make 600 but i just want to make sure. i may just puttheengine in and seewhat it does and if it isnt enough i'll throw the P51 on there too.

I have the exact same setup and they are done @ 12PSI . I was running around 12.5PSI but had to back it down to 12 and its still going lean up top. I have the PPRV inline still and stock wiring...so if you remove those two problems it should support 650RWHP or so.
I would HIGHLY recommend you do that if you have not already.

thats not what i wanted to hear. at least i have some time to get those two problems taken care of before the engine goes in. i have a 4 gauge wire running to the trunk already for an small amp i have back there. i can just split an 8 gauge wire off that to the FPDM. i guess i might as well run it to the pumps as well if i'm dropping the tank to delete the PPRV.
