KABOOM! Now off to Brenspeed for a B326 stroker!

[Timmbo]

Hearing the stories about Brenspeed make me so happy.


Oh, and killer build! I'm thinking about buying an 05-06 automatic (for DD) and dropping in a b326 and a gt500 blower and tci ratchet shifter.

Me too. Thanks. Sounds like a great combo. You should love it!

Brenspeed has a guest house for customers? Wow!

Yep. I'm fixin to get in that comfy bed!

Yep! Stayed there two-three years ago when they did my cams and whatnot. Prob be going back once I go with a blower later this year

Nice! Bet you can't wait! Dyno day is around noon for me tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what power I get with this M90 on the B326. I stabbed it a few times hard and only got a max of 4 psi boost with my 2.49 pulley. I was getting 7 psi with the stock 4.6. So I guess the "extra cubes" are bringing the boost down?? Does that make sense? 3 psi loss in boost with this motor vs. stock motor? But then again I was nervous to stay in it too long because of the break in. I also noticed I'm pulling more vacuum however. Almost 18" of vac compared to 16" of vac with the stock 4.6. Oh well, will get the news tomorrow on the true numbers. But hell....regardless this damn engine pulls hard and fast in 4th gear unlike the stock 4.6! I've almost put 200 miles on the car since Saturday evening. I may step up to an overdrive crank pulley if they have one to get the boost up. I've got Snow Performance meth to keep the temps down. Looking forward to Brents magic. Damn I'm stoked. Need to get to bed. I'm like a kid on Christmas. Except it dyno and tuning day. Sorry guys.... I'm just an old gear head lol.

Dude that is so awesome, I would feel the same way myself.........a kid at Christmas. I hope you drove far enough to get some beer..........you gotta have beer to fall asleep thats for sure. LOL

Shoot video tomorrow if you can. Cant wait to hear how it goes.

I have enjoyed reading the guestbooks this morning. A ton of satisfied customers from all over the US. Amazes me how far people drive just for Brenspeed but I understand why. Top notch! Looking forward to performing three more drive/heat/cool cycles today then two more cycles Monday morning before I hit the dyno. The sun is coming out and should be dry the rest of my stay till I leave on Tuesday.

Hey Timmbo ..Good Luck Man !!
Wish I could have signed the book, but it was just a little too far for me at the time so I had it delivered. I'm a very happy customer from Canada !!

It's waaaaay past noon now haha. How did it go?

 

[Timmbo]

Well I would have posted quicker but Monday turned out to be quite a rush. I assumed I was staying in the guesthouse until Tuesday but I think Brent assumed I was leaving after the dyno session so he booked the guesthouse for someone else. Thats what I get for assuming. Had to pack everything up and load the truck. No problem though. I wound up getting back here at home around 11:30pm.

The difference between the break in tune and final tune was night and day seat of the pants wise. When Brent took me for a ride after the dyno session I was like "holy shit"! The torque is really amazing! Just slams you in the seat. That said, the actual " HP numbers" weren't too impressive because of the M90 on this engine. The more cubes just don't allow the already small M90 to pressurize it enough. The M90 on this engine is the difference between trying to blow up a small balloon vs. a queen size air mattress. You just need a bigger pump to get it done. The M90 was also heat soaked at 92 degrees ambient temperature. Sometime next year I will DEFINITELY be stepping up the boost to something else. The only thing I will miss is the whine. Damn its sweet especially having the vented Trufiber hood. But for now I'm happy. The torque is nice. My M90 kit is only two years old with 7k miles so Brent is going to allow me to trade it in on whatever I decide. I want my car running like Miles that works at Brenspeed. His gold GT running with the B326 and Roush TVS 2.3 is getting him over 630 rwhp. Thats just sick for street! His dyno video is on Youtube. I'm posting the dyno graph and video of the dyno session below from my car. Give me some time Miles....I'll catch up to ya!

The Snow Meth injection actually caused a slight HP drop and only dropped the iats by 10 degrees. Since neither of us wanted to bump up the timing to compensate for it we just decided to bypass it. I'm not trusting a 500 dollar system not to fail on a 8 grand engine thats for sure! Aint worth it.

To wrap it up for a while here I want to say that I was impressed by the hospitality I received, the professionalism, the shop and his employees. I never felt rushed or had that feeling like "gimme your money and go". Brent took the time to answer all my questions and plan my future mods. Brenspeed is just a top notch shop! From skimming through three guestbooks it's no wonder why people come from all over the country. I'll be back!

Nice having your car back and running! And yeah everyone knew the M90 wouln't be able to keep up with the extra cubes and now the engine capable to be pushed further.

If Brent is taking your M90 as a trade in that's a no brainer !

 

[Mike K]

Nice! Now the saving for the tvs starts. Lol

 

[Deez-67]

Great write up man... and for someone like me that is about to take the same road you just did it puts me a little at ease. Thanks for taking the time to share you story. Best of luck with that new heart, car looks great, and sounds great.

Nice ride man!
The Roush is the best TVS available for the 3 valve in my opinion its also a little more capable than the Eddy brock e-force if im not mistaken the Roush Tvs could also be ported if you decid to get greedy with the right combo even without porting the blower its a 700 rwhp capable blower 700 to tire is nuts on a PD I had e-force Tvs pushing 670 rear wheel on a B302 short block.
The roush TVS still has some nice blower sound the edlebrock is nearly silent.
On 93 octane for street the numbers will be less than above mentioned but still be stupid sick for street.
If your going pd ROUSH TVS gets my vote :thumbup:

Thank you. Well I got plenty of time to decide. I'm gonna flip flop around alot before then I know. Won't have the cash to do it till fall of 2014. Right now I'm almost thinking a Paxton Novi 2200 SL HO package. It's capable of up to 26 psi boost and supports up to 970 HP. I figure why not go all out and shoot for 750 rwhp which is about 882 at the crank giving me a safety cushion of 118 HP. I've got the engine. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for what I have but I chose this engine for a reason. NASTINESS lol! One thing I don't wanna do is turn this into a race car with issues. I'm not sure what the reliable max rwhp and max psi is doable with this engine on 93 octane. I'm not going to get into all the E85 or race gas stuff. So whatever the max rwhp is on 93 I'll be happy. I'd be fine with 650 but I'll take 7 or 750 as the max if it's reliably doable.

Sounds good if you want the most Horse Power and growing room for the money $ the Paxton Novi 2200 tuner kit is #1 bang for buck..
Virtually our shortblock is the same other than yours has a 9.8 compression mine has 9.5 i am making 900 rw with cams,heads, jpc intake, full exhaust with a Novi 2200 SL. If you go centrifugal my vote is Novi 2200 :thumbup:

Now THAT is sick! You and I will have to stay in touch on that. Just seems the more research I do the more of an effort I find it is to get a PD blower for the power I want to make that isn't going to build heat, heat soak or run out of steam. The B326 with my 4.10s is full of torque even before boost kicks in. And those 4.10's will keep my rpms up in the perfect range where I shouldn't notice much difference between a PD and centrifugal. Honestly I'm trying to stick with something that Brent is a dealer for and has a lot of experience with etc. So that leaves me with either a TVS or a Paxton. I just got this gut feeling if I get the TVS I will regret it. The max power Brenspeed is getting with the TVS on the B326 is 650 rwhp. That is with the smallest snout pulley available because of the tolerances of the blower snout and also using a 12% overdrive crank pulley. So basically I would spend 6500 and hit another HP limit wall when the engine is capable of so much more.

So what fuel pumps and injectors are you running?

 

[JPO8GT]

Stay in touch if you have questions or need specifics in the future let me know.
I had heat issues with my TVS too there's a big difference in Air intake temps with the Paxton vs TVS.
Paxton runs much cooler.. 750 rear wheel is cake for a novi 2200.
With 4.10 gears run a 18% iw crank pulley and the Paxton will come on much quicker Brents also a innovators west dealer he's who i bought my crank pulley from.
My fuel system:
Jpc triple hat walbro 342 pumps return style with FRPP 80 Lb injectors.
You could probably get by with a gt500 fuel system with a competition dual boost a pump on 80s or larger injectors. But i wanted more safety margin and room to grow.
