Myself, and many others who were pushing their stock engines to extremes, and have not had failures over a long period of time, is evidence in the direction of, replacing your OPG's is not 100% needed.
I made over 1000whp on my Centri setup on my 2019. Made over 75 passes, 5000 miles of driving, most of the passes were low 9s, and a few in the high 8s, no issues. The OPG issue is overblown and pushed by parts sellers.
If his small channel is even monetized yet, he has not made much. Probably around $45. Adsense CPM for most automotive YouTubers is around $13 CPM (clicks per mille (1000 views). This video has about 2600 views at the time I posted this.
You're off some, there are two V3's, a V3 Si (not really used or sold for Mustangs anymore), and a V3 JT (which is more like the Paxton 2200 SL, slightly bigger blower than the V3 Si and better suited for Gen2/3 Mustangs).
There's also a V7 JT, which is similar to the V3 JT, except it is not...
I've ran a 3.12 Griptec pulley with a 100" belt, made in the 900s on E85 with a V3 JT Blower. It was definitely overspinning it, but it still was making good power and great results. I ended up running a 8.8 in the 160s on my full weight, fully optioned 2019 10r80 car.
For most purposes...
I did the "guaranteed" method to get your deposit in nearly ahead of everyone else. Open an account with the same bank they use, and have a wire ready. Instant transfer. So, my timestamp pretty much beat everyone else who was waiting in line and was only competing with people who did the...
As far as injectors are concerned you just need to upgrade your port side, most people go to ID1050x, DW95, FIC 1000h, or FIC 1440
Unless you plan to run E85, you do not need to do a fuel pump / system upgrade, just a boost a pump. If you want to run E85 and FI, you'll need at least a dual...
The shop that installed your vortech told you that, so they could add billable hours. Ask the tuners who see 100% of the builds, the OPG issue is over stated, its less than 1%.
Take everything with a grain of salt that comes from someone who has a financial benefit in adding labor or parts to...
the OPG replacement is a myth. Plenty of people have run over 900whp on a blower at over 8000 rpm into the 8s 1/4 mi for thousands of miles and hundreds of passes and zero issues. I'm one of them.
Most people who started this myth are the parts vendors. Wonder why.
From my own personal car. The xdrive comp cars are quite a bit faster than the rear wheel drive only cars that have been out for a few years, and I was actually wrong, I was quoting my second fastest stock drag time with it. Here was it's fastest stock
Yes I have. Stock for stock:
Drag race:
'22 BMW M4 Competition xDrive (MSRP $98,000, $5500 of it was just the paint job, which is a frozen color)
Tires: Pirelli P-zeros (You can get Michelin P4S, but its random at the plant)
1/4 Mi: 11.07 @ 126.94
'20 Shelby GT500 CFTP (MSRP $95,500)...
I bought a xDrive G82 M4 a few months back. It ran 11.1 @ 127 stock, 10.2 @ 133 with just E40 and a piggy back. This was on stock Pirelli street tires.
