What he said. Unless going for all out NA or opposed to FI the money is better spent on FI; is what most people conclude. Though some people still do it. Seems like 35-50ish hp NA, but that might have been Gen2. Sound should be almost the same with the VCTs. I am doing comp stage 2 blower...
I have heard about the issue of less than 1/2 a tank, but have numerous hits at less than 1/2 a tank with no issues. I don't race around corners though.
What all he said was why I went th400. The other thing I liked about it, was if I get to a point where two gears will work better than three, the th400 can be built that way. It also has 2nd gear leave options (not doing it as the converter won't be right). It is heavier and takes more power...
turnswrench and 80foxcoupe are my inspiration, well and of course you too (vortech guys need all the help we can get).
I am going to put the watson bolt in 6 point. It isn't a cage, but should provide some protection and allow for harnesses; it will limit me to track rentals though. Also...
it is 20%, yep going big; went ahead and got comp cams as well, I spent the money on heads so I figured I should take advantage even if it was just a little more. I hope to make as much as Terry did or more. I know the 400 will eat some, but I really don't care what the dyno says just trying...
I have his old balancer, but did get a new one with the build. Forgot about that, need to see if I can sale it. And I went dual key on the callies crank.
Yeah, it was to good to pass up. I sold the intercooler (it was too big), thanks Walter sorry it didn't work. I kept the bv57s and got a intercooler built similar to his just a tad smaller with dual bovs like his was. The 10 rib kit I will use, just got the tkm, but want to sort the th400...
