Boosted 350's come on in!

[Paperdude2016]

@Paperdude2016 Did you have to remove the strut bar/brace? how's the performance at the road course? Has anyone done 1 PSI, 2 PSI, 3 PSI, 4 PSI, 5 PSI pulls? I'd be interested in 2 PSI. I really just want to be in the 650hp range.

Taking the car to modify tune and get dyno haven’t tested it yet.

The Whipple Gen5 kit didn't come with the lowering mounts? Or you just haven't installed them?

The kit comes with BMR motor mounts that you absolutely must

The Whipple package included the BMR motor mounts and you absolutely must use them to get hood clearance. The strut tower brace can no longer be used. Mounts were a PITA to install.

I'm sure the mounts were a pain. I swear, I keep reading these threads, and those Turbo's keep calling out to me......they beckon me.......pleading with me...to install......Must not heed their call !!!!

I looked at the Hellion Turbo system about 6 months ago but I was concerned about the lack of ground clearance with the way they were routing the plumbing. I’m sure someone has made improvements there but the system I saw actually was lower than the front k member.

Finally ....RPG rebuilt sleeved Voodoo with upgraded springs arrived.

A little late for any drag racing but in time for the cool fall air .
Old motor (OPG and CS only ) had Gen 3 whipple /3.5 pulley when a rod bent .

Not sure why, butbwas missing before and
I suspect bad 02 sensors from leaded gas may have played a role . He also found some evidence of head lift . Now has ARP head studs of course .

I am going to pulley down eventually to at least a 3.25 pulley with the new motor .

They sure are taking their time .lol
They have been working on the fuel system which is easier to do while the engine is out.
Exhaust manifolds and SPEC clutch

For those who recommend upgrading the opg before forced induction would you recommend this combo? Thanks!

I installed the BMR mounts while replacing the factory exhaust manifolds with the SW Headers and it wasn't difficult at all, possibly due to not having the exhaust manifolds in the way. The headers were way more work!

Alright, I wasn't sure if the new Gen 5 design allowed them to utilize the factory mounts. Sounds like that's not the case and lowering mounts are still needed just like the previous gen's.

I used MMR for both OPG and Sprocket, but hear Boundary are good products as well. Just make sure you replace both OPG and Crank Sprocket.

Which model Spec clutch did you go with? I'll be needing an upgraded clutch this year and just keeping tabs on who's running what to see what I go with later.

Was reading on another site that the 2019+ GT350's may come with the GT500 billet oil pump gears. Does anyone have any info on this?

No they do not, only forged sprocket on the 19+. Verified from FP.

I'm doing boundary OPG this weekend in preparation for Aldo turbo kit.

ok, so no need to do the sprocket, just the gears?

Ouch !
I guess I walked in to that one .
It sure feels like it ... but since you asked
My wife’s explorer Sport, my kids BMW X1 and my daily driven 2014 Audi S4(has almost 100,000 miles ) are still running strong . Lol
I wonder what’s different about them ?



My 2018 mustang GT with its original motor is still running kind of strong (9.7@143) and has made it 2 track seasons/18,000 miles . It’s been daily driven recently and must have over 100 1/4 mile passes over the last 2 years .
It’s does seem “kind “ of slow for the pulley I am running so probably need to do a compression test at some point .

But that’s why I keep back up motors

I see you are planning to go turbo .... let me know if you ever need one .
