He showed me his dyno sheet as well. He made almost exactly 400 RWHP (STD) on a dynojet. I think if he did LTs instead of running stock manifolds, he could easily pick up 20-25 more HP, but there again he would be looking at spending another $7-800. If I did a mild cam and nothing else, I have no doubts I could at minimum stay even with him, but with a cam and LTS he would be history.

He could get headers cheaper. But he then really runs into the stock bottom blowing with to much power.

He is concerned about the engine though. So far, he has about 16k miles on the blower. Says he does a couple WOT pulls per week. IMO, its nothing more than a ticking time bomb, but for his sake I hope it stays together.

I was including labor costs at Fastlane where he gets his tuning and all done. Sorry about that man, I should've clarified that part.

Ya I think it is just a matter of time till lets go. They could have a real safe tune in it. I mean you said he pushing what 6psi. That isn't much.

10psi, lol... but I'm sure that would drop maybe 1-1.5 with LTs, not enough to save him, IMO. He said its a safe tune though. Its nowhere near pinging or anything.

Both on street tires. I'm on some Hankook Ventus and he is on Nitto 555s. He pulled a 2.3 60' to my 1.95 though, so that had a lot to do with it. We ran again with him on a 2.2 60' to my 2.0, but it looked about the same. He's got me up top pretty handedly though.

BTW...you did take him in the 1/4 but his trap was like 4mph higher..so it was pulling pretty good. I'll bet you were watching him creep up on you through the rear view mirror....

Holy crap..2.3 on DR's..WTF???? I could probably get a better 60' if I put the spare donut on the rear and leave on my 3700rpm 2-step.

I read in an engine master's mag that T.E.A can do some great port work on the p.I heads. It showed 40+ on an engine dyno and I'm sure with a kennel bell atop them will do wonders!! Just suggestions for the Ford guy
