Nope, I was thinking about asking the same thing last week. IIRC, wasn't he trying to sell the truck??? I did notice he's been on here lately.

Last I heard W2w gave up on the Turbo setup and junked it.Then he went with a Kenne Bell I think.Then I heard it was done,then it wasn't done. Guessing the old electric problems or motor damage from the beggining is setting him back.

haha, the saga continues, lol. The latest is: kenne bell 2.8L is on and running at 10lbs boost. There's a fuel problem right now that is being investigated today. Pressure is dropping in the higher rpm range. Pump is fine, tank is being dropped today.

Runs smooth, drives smooth, tires break loose at 40mph if you punch the gas(kurt found that out on his way home while on the phone with me the other day, lol). It only made 430rwhp on their mustang dyno but it has a ton more in it. I'm flying out there next tues 4/8 to drive it with them etc etc, then it's being shipped back here. Not a chance in hell was I gonna drive it back.

Lets say i'm spinning the blower at 14500rpm right now and it can go to 18000 max. Lets also say i'm at 16* timing now.

how much more power would i see by spinning it to the max without belt slip and bumping the timing up to 20* and adding methanol?

probably impossible to guess but that's my plan.
