Since this stage of my project are done I thought I'd post up. I had a P1SC on the car making 468RWHP and was planning on a new shortblock so I could turn it up but wasn't happy with the options out there for the centrifugal blowers. You have to upgrade to an 8 rib set up and that can present problems of it's own and belt slip isn't always eliminated, narrow power band, belt alignment, etc... To get 600RWHP reliable it was more than I wanted to deal with.
My alternative was the Eaton set up that obviously is a factory setup and with a
whipple on top can easily make 600RWHP with minimal belt issues.
My plan was to first sell the P1SC, convert the engine to the 03/04 Cobra set up so I could work out all the bugs, build the shortblock and eventually buy a whipple. Right now the car is converted over and the shortblock build up will start next week.
I picked up all the parts needed for $2500 and ended up with and upgraded heat exchanger and a stock eaton and a ported eaton with 2.76 pulley. While I did this I also upgraded to dual FPDMs, Ford GT pumps in a 03/04 Cobra hat.
First night starting the tear down of the stock engine.
While doing the swap I also got another pair of valve covers and had them powder coated so I had to pull the stock ones. Everything pulled and ready for the swap.
Block modified (ground down the knock sensor bosses), new timing cover and valve covers on.
Lower intake, intercooler, blower, accessories and belt on, pulley bridge installed.
Dual FPDM wiring harness.
Everything but fluids filled.
New bumper cover to fit over the dual pass heat exchanger.
Last week I had the car tuned and with 17* of timing it made 436RWHP/419RWTQ on a MustangDyno, which is roughly 10-13% lower than a dynojet so I had them pull 2* of timing and it made 411RWHP/392RWTQ. I wasn't looking for big power just enough to have some fun while I get the shortblock built.
