Congrats! What did you pay for the kit (if you don't mind)? My kit I'm buying from MPH is going to run $3,825 and that's with a 4" Power Pipe and Tim's tunes. No intercooler though. A/A right? Very sexah!

what cams do you have again? are they gonna hurt you under boost? some NA grinds just won't work well in boosted conditions....now with blower friendly cams at 9psi i'd say atleast 450rwhp.

Lucked up into a steal on a Vortech V2 SQ kit, My mechanic really helped me out on this one. So in the next 2 weeks or so. (as soon as he catches up on all the work for fun ford weekend) I should be in the FI group.

gotta take the N/A club out of my sig

but it is worth it

any guesses on the power gain I should see 8psi intercooled?

went 290 with current setup.

Congrats man! You won't be disappointed. The V2 Kits are supposed to be real nice.

It's a "bro-in-law" deal. If he told you you would throw up a little in your mouth.

weelll from the top

No offense Droptop.. I am sure there is something I am not sure of, but I have to go with what the trhee proffesionals told me. I know I have flat tops because there was some discussion on how much relief I needed cut into them. might just be how deep they sit in the hole.. not sure.

You really dont wanna know how cheap i am getting this kit lol. It is used, but with a new head unit.

My Cams are N/A,.. but from talking to vortech I cant use blower cams unless I swap pistons. When I blow this engine (and I will) I will put some big dishes in and swap cams.

on a side note, with my current cams, do u think I should get a boost pipe to help up the boost and counteract the bleed off Ill see from the cams?
