I run 93 pump gas and I built my first engine with 8.7 compression and my second with stock 9.8. For a street car, the higher base compression ratio makes for better performance during normal non boosted driving. Both combinations made the some RWHP on 93 pump, just with lower boost on the...

This is my 06 with 18's all around. 18x8 front and 18x10 rear.

I have custom Comp Cams in mine, they are based on the 12750 grind but modified for my turbo setup. I have been very happy with them. Comp Cams will make you a custom grind for the same price as off the shelf, if you give them a call.

With a turbo you would be better off with the stock cams over the Hot Rods, they have way too much overlap for a turbo setup. Do some searching on here, there were several members that modified the On3 setup for better performance.

Cams are a waste of money if you are going with a blower at the HP levels you are talking about. Blower cams do not work well NA and vice versa. Give Jason at DOB a call https://www.s197forum.com/forums/department-of-boost.175/ he can fix you up with a great setup and save you lots of money. I...

I would recommend sending the Mutha Thumpr cams back. The MT cams are more for sound then performance. If you are trying to get the most out of it NA there are much better cams out there. I would give Comp Cams a call, they have a department just for helping you choose the best cam profiles...

The thing that amazes me is the first time it blew, they sent it back to MMR and were told there was nothing wrong with the MMR build. MMR supposedly went through the complete engine and sent it back fully assembled. They only made about 4 pulls on it when they were tuning it and it was way down...

Guys you need to look at itsjusta6 latest video tearing down a blown engine (1) Tearing Down Satan’s Blown Motor! | 1,500hp Coyote Engine Teardown - YouTube . Maybe he will finally stop using fucking MMR.

FUCK MMR!!!

I also agree on the HP for the street. I have mine tuned for 500rwhp for the street and still need DR's for real traction. I also have an auto, which is much easier to drive with high HP than a stick.

Actually you would be money ahead to just sell your v6 and buy an 11-14 GT. You would have to replace almost everything on your car doing the swap. As stated, the only way to really do it on the cheap is to get a wrecked donor car a transfer everything.

Pass.

I am 74 and I hope no one ever says that too me.

Did the new motor come with everything you need for stock? There is a ton of stuff to change to return to NA from boosted.

As you have discovered, you need the car very high to remove the over axle pipes. It is very hard to get the car high enough without a lift. I was never able to do it on jack stands without dropping the rear.
