[JeremyH]

Comp stage 2 SPR cams. Diamond pistons, manley rods (stock bore and stroke) all arp hardware, ford racing oil pump w/ billet gears. Fidanza aluminum flywheel and mcleoud RST. Prothane billet motor mounts

All in prep for a custom turbo kit later in the new year.

 

[JeremyH]

N/a for now going for 350-360rwhp. Compression gonna be around 9 to 1 for the turbo.

No roll bar? Is car going to see the track? What's behind the build?

Curious, why such the low compression?

SPR cams for a turbo?


that low compression usually means you are heading to a serious psi, and if thats the case, a custom cam wouldnt cost much more (if you are not sacrificing compression for your turbo, why sacrifice efficiency of the boost w/ those cams?)

Im just hoping you know what you are doing, ( I dont know enough to be sure, by any means )but your combo sounds oddly like a sales benefit moreso than a build in progress.

I really hope Im wrong.

Not sure why u think 9 to 1 is low, its a bit lower than stock and perfect for boost

N/a cams work fine with boost(better than stock cams anyways) and will get me to my n/a goal. Im not trying to squeeze out crazy hp so i have no need for turbo cams or a custom grind

Only going for 500-600 hp later on with the turbo.

Would like to break into 12's na and then 11 with turbo thats it
