Are your fans controlled via the factory ecu, or do you have a stand alone PWM fan controller?

Almost one year later update:

Decided to prepare the car for the next steps....meaning more $$$ dumped....in a good way.

Currently working with dynamic raceworks in West Chester PA to install the following:
Mishimoto aluminum radiator
2018 ported intake
upgraded fuel system
Calimer racing transmission
lund tuning

in the winter i will be going with a texas speed engine as well as bigger turbos.

super exciting!!!!!!!!
Why a ported intake manifold?

more airflow - plus my old intake manifold IMRC is broken
You're boosted, the air volume and flow isn't restricted by the manifold unless you're running a big boost number. You should probably pay money elsewhere. Just trying to help you out. I would buy an actual manifold instead.

Big boost is the plan - thanks for your input :)

I was just contemplating doing this very thing yesterday. Too much down time causes me to start thinking of all kinds of things to do. I was looking at sending my Holley Lo Ram off to be CNC ported, but quickly talked myself out of it for the very reason that you just mentioned. I don’t plan to ever exceed 21 psi (max), realistically speaking, I’ll probably hang out at around 14 psi.

Are your keeping your stock block/internals?

There have been stock predator engines making upwards of 1300 hp without sleeves. A sleeved build should make 1800. I don't understand the reasoning behind paying more for the block and cutting it up for sleeves. I would pay have for a gen 3 block and have that sleeved instead. Same juice... Unless you're really about to get after it. Overbuilding is logical if you're going to really get after it sometimes.

update:

Installed ported intake manifold
getting tuned by lund - Alex.
no misfire after ported intake manifold and IMRC delete!

staying at 12.5 PSI car made 881 Wheel horse power on E85!
ill get the graphs uploaded later!

Doing one more pull at 15.5 PSI...maybe ill break the 1K Wheel Horsepower Number on stock engine.

going to run it like this for the most part until short block is installed later this year!
