Does this kit come with a carb number?

I am the owner of the featured Vortech GT350 at SEMA 2016. What I can tell you is that from my perspective, the engine is never under duress.

I agree, I've had both Centeri and PD and I'd say Centeri S/C power delivery is very linear and manageable. So, for road coarse racing it comes on very nicely and lots of top power. But not so great in city driving with RPM ranging 2500-4000. You won't notice the TQ to pull you hard.

I'd just worry about longevity. Most of us are aware of the cast OPG gear. My fear is the added stress my explode that gear and take out the motor. I believe the engine is about 20k and right now I believe supply is short.

Whatever does FI have to do with stress on the pump gear?
How much stress and work the gear is subject to is totally independent, unless you're running around town at 7500 RPM all the time because you have a supercharger under the hood.

People have already had opg's fail from normal driving with FI I myself would not put a blower, turbo or nos on a mod motor without billet gears. Period. The vibration and rpm and stress from the belt driven blower creates on the crank snout are the cause of OPG failure.
Putting billet opg's on is not that big of a deal. Just adds to the time of install. I'm going to put them on my GT350 even though I'm not going to add FI.
What I do plan on doing in the near future is buying a new 5.2 block, flatplane crank and 5.2 heads and go for my goal of 700+ naturally aspirated hp. And store my original engine.

I've been curious about this because Ford quietly knows that their oil pump gears are kinda dookie. I know that the Voodoo's is more robust than the Coyote but it also doesn't have 8200 RPM to deal with, a nearly square bore stroke, and a funky crankshaft.

Ford Performance has come out officially and both recognized and stated the additional stress, vibration, and forces of additional pulleys, etc. are exactly what one should avoid with the stock OPG. That is also why the crate motors come with billet, the high probability they end up FI. They have also admitted that Big blue and the other teams have not even bothered to test the stock gear with FI as it wasn't designed for it.

I love when people make comments on cars they never driven or owned.

Please elaborate as to why this engine needs more low end TQ? LOL

superman07 · Nov 18, 2016

I have about 3750 of them.

I guess I don't get why you're asking me this. I never complained about the torque. If someone wants more low end grunt a gear change can help that very easy.

The voodoo makes peak tq at 4750rpm.
The coyote makes peak tq at 4250rpm.

90% of the voodoos tq comes on at 3450rpm. That means at 3450rpm the tq is 386 lbs ft. At 4750rpm the voodoo is making max tq of 429 lbs ft.

The coyote makes 390 max tq at 4250rpm.

So the voodoo does make more tq at lower rpm compared to the coyote.

Did it improve the low end with such low boost?

I wasn't asking you Voodoo. This was in reply to the previous post, not yours. My bad!
