Well the motor is almost done..

The block is the least of my problems. It can support well over 1200HP with many running in the 1500hp range. http://www.adperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=194. Here's a Dart block in action. Dal Sangha and his Dart block 400 cubic inch twin turbo running 6's at over 200mph. http://sangharacing.com/Videos.html.
It's the tranny that's my concern. Built Transbrake C6. Hopefully she can hold. The stock EECIV is the other weak link. They don't like to be spun over 6500rpm where this motor is being built to spin to the moon. All a moot point until the huffer gets strapped on anyways. Gonna run her low compression this year until I can muster the cash for the blower. Should still be fun. The heads are flow benched at around 350+cfm @.600 lift. The F2 requires between 420fwhp and 600fwhp N/A power to be in optimal conditions. This motor will cover that range easy. We're expecting 400+rwhp with the combo as it sits right now no problem. That puts it perfect. the D1 isn't a bad blower but the D1 only flows about 1400 CFM, even a V-7 YSI vortech flows 1600. I'd probably go with a D1-R if anything. http://www.procharger.com/models.shtml If I'm gonna buy a blower I'm gonna make sure I have room to grow with it. The beauty of the F2 is it comes as a cog drive right from the get go. No wasting time with 6 or 8 rib Vbelts. The F2 will take a lot less boost to generate serious power wich will be less taxing on the whole system too. I doubt I will ever outgrow this one. I am going to do this one right the first time. Overkill? For sure . Will I ever use 38#'s of boost? No way in hell. Is it gonna be one crazy ass fast strip/street car? Damn skippy!!!!

Sold my soul to the oilpatch. Actually having another little one here at Christmas time. My first little boy thinks the only cars out there are Mustangs cause that's all I ever buy him. The next one won't be any different he or she is gonna be brain washed right from the start. They're gonna love the Calgary Flames, Stampeders, and Fords, that's it.

Why not turbo?

Click to expand...

I would love a turbo most of all. The only reason I won't go turbo is because this is going to be mostly a bracket car. Turbos are too inconsistent. At least in my experience anyways. If I were running heads up classes, which there aren't any around here, I would definitely go turbo.

Like i say I would really like to go turbo. You just don't see them racing. There is 1 import and 1 mustang at our track, both go out first round everytime. Their times are to inconsistent. I can dial my KB into almost the .000th's . I don't know if the tremendous heat from the turbos causes to much variance or what or they just suck driving.
