We are still developing components for our built motor packages, but for now it is pinned crank, balance shaft delete, Manley rods, and custom pistons.
Balance shaft delete really necessary?
Wow, you are right, it is a beast if the stock pistons and plugs can handle that much boost! That is exciting news indeed!This should answer those questions for ya! I have it come down to 11.2:1 roughly during spool then have it come up to 11.7's for the rest of the pull. Boost is at 26.5 on the 5858. I have a 6466 Ball Bearing turbo on the way, should make some power ;). Going to see what it will do on stock block then put it on our built motor.
What I mean by no signs of giving up is no knock, no fuel issue as of yet, and it makes the power back to back no problems. I took it out on the street as I mentioned before to log load data and it is pretty similar to the dyno for load. It really get's interesting through 2nd gear at full boost LOL.

6062 only comes in ball bearing and Gen 2 so it would be +$750.00
Not sure if there will be any added gains from it but rotational weight reduction is fairly high when removing the balance shaft in these engines. We are going for ultimate performance and power on our shop engine, we will probably leave balance shaft delete as an option on our engine builds.
11.7 isn't rich at all, fairly comfortable leaving it there for all accounts. Anything leaner than this has produced knock on stock turbo, I haven't leaned it out yet on our big turbo car just yet to see how it responds. Will keep you posted, still some ground to cover!
11.7 is more on the lean side, especially with an EcoBoost.
How much power you looking to make? This a daily?
Unless you are going up to a built motor, I think the 5862 would be just fine. I'm going to be changing the turbo kit to include a 5862 Journal Bearing turbo just for a little bit more top end stability in power delivery.
It's a daily for right now But I plan on building the engine up around 50k miles and then it will be my weekend/drag car. And I don't know how much power in looking to make but I want a turbo that I can grow into. Don't want to have to buy another turbo.
Speaking of which, how responsive is the current setup on the street? You have a manual, right? How would it be w/ a stock auto from a standstill?
Exactly, but we don't want to leave a customer behind if they do upgrade. I think the best option is to have a "buy-back" program, and we will sell the used intakes at a discounted price.
Either way, anybody that has a product from us that needs to be changed for the turbo kit will be rewarded for their loyalty to our brand!
