did he say plug gap 14-16, I cant tell his lips keep moving.
And those are STD uncorrected numbers.

Damn. Too slow on my phone. Have to wait until I’m home unless someone can throw out cliffs on the engine specs (stock?) and what boost. Has to be on E

They expect them to hit 800+, just not on Rick's "Budget build"
Block has been rebuilt, 9.2 compression, stock heads and cams. Car was tuned on e85.

I seriously doubt those numbers were on 93.
You can tell they weren’t expecting the numbers to be as low as they were. They spent 10 minutes coming up with reasons why it “only” made 760.
Good news is that they only took it up to 6200.. with a bigger blower like this, it seems like there is some hp to be made up to 7k

Not surprised they picked up 10-20 hp from an intake swap alone. I would expect the gains to be even more with a bigger throttle body. I just watched a "Cleetus McFarland" video and he picked up I believe 40 hp from swapping throttle bodies alone on his gen 3 crown vic project.
Do the Whipple 2.9s suffer from the same heat soak issues? I find it odd we keep hearing how efficient this blower is now heat is a huge concern. No doubt the Cobra intercooler is small but I haven't heard of the 2.9s suffering from heat soak. This would worry me a little considering on the street and the track the car will be even hotter especially when doing pulls 1-4. Fact is the car needs a larger intercooler, anyone see how big the intercoolers are on the coyote 2.9s or even the new 3.0 for the 18s, things are monsters. Sorry I keep comparing these set ups to coyotes but crazy how much blowers have evolved.
All in all I think the car did well, as mentioned if you throw in a set of bigger headers the car will pick up more power. Wonder whats causing the car to break up at the top of the power band, just solving that issue alone I bet the car will pick up 10-20 more up top.

Not what they were looking for. I think they need more test mules, this one is not even a factory block or compression. It seems like they'd have no problem getting 2 or 3 different terminator owners with factory powerplants to commit to test with their new multi $$$ investment with this blower gen. I'd bet people would even pay them for the blower!
Gotta say was hoping for 800. So we’re talkin 50hp give or take from a 2.3 to this 2.65?

X2 for sure. I was hoping for 800+ as well. My 2.3 is already awesome as it is but it would be hard to justify swapping it out to the 2.65 if it only adds another 50ish hp.

I would like to see how it would respond to a change from the 1-5/8 headers to either 1-3/4 or 1-7/8. I foresee Malcolm selling more of the crusher intake setups for those going 2.65 as well.
Same here, I run 1-7/8 x 3 all the way back and would be surprised if there would be any exhaust restriction, if anything I would think you would drop a psi or two.
