I've been researching this for a couple years now. There are so many different setups
out there, so many different tuners, some people running meth, some E85, some 100oct.
etc. etc...
Since I trust the opinion of all you guys more than some ass clowns on NAZIoc for example,
here goes nothing...
Current Mods: (at least what is pertinent)
Maddad V2 Header and Up-pipe, wrapped.
Perrin Fuel Rails
Walbro 255lp/h Fuel Pump
DW 850cc Inj
Phenolic Spacers
GT3071R Turbo IWG (stock location)
3" Invidia partially divorced wastegate downpipe
3" Cobb SS catback
Perrin Stealth Black FMIC
-blow-thru MAF boost tube
Synapse Engineering synchronic BOV-VTA
Frankenstein'd 3" short ram intake
AMS 3" turbo inlet pipe
AEM-HD 5 gallon methanol injection kit (currently on 100% methanol
but might like to go 51/49 in the future, idk yet.)
Output: 385whp/367wtq (Dynojet at ~50 degrees F) [327whp/312wtq (Mustang Dyno at 89 degrees F)
--Both at 18.5 psi of boost.
I know I'm going to need some forged pistons and rods... I suppose
it's a smart idea to get a nitrated crank, but what about the heads and
cams? I don't want this to get retarded expensive, as heads and cams
can be (not to mention the whole engine build labor), but is any head/
cam work necessary to achieve 450whp?
I'm just trying to figure out what it's going to cost me when it's all said
and done...
Thoughts?
