Lol
I tested the autometer boost gauge I'm running with a vacuum/boost pump and it's pretty much spot on, maybe one 1 psi off. Either way I think the 10% lower will be a good upgrade especially with the fuel I run
Those LT Headers drop you 3 psi in Boost?
I'm going for 750whp.
I doubt that, the LT headers and 2.39 upper were already on the car when I bought it. With the factory boost gauge I'm seeing 16psi, but that isn't accurate. That's why I wanted a real boost gauge.
Awesome to hear, those are the kinda numbers I'm going for as well, do you have headers? And are you still running the stock clutch?
Great to hear, I'm still on my stock clutch, the car has 7,600 miles on it so I should still get some more life out of it. Thanks for the info.
Why are you nibbling around the edges...? You know you're going to end up with another 3.6LC Kenne Bell...
Stock clutch experiences seem to vary widely. Mine is still going strong with almost 27K miles on it, making 733RWHP/713RWTQ for the past two years and 6K-7K miles. (I've logged about 35 1/2-mile and 1-mile race passes on it, including about six 1/2-mile passes after the power upgrade.) A friend, with similar power mods, made 4-5 race passes when his car had only about 5K miles on it, and his clutch was done....I think as long as you don't overload it with burnouts and hard launches it should last for a very long time, mine started slipping after few burnouts at a rolling race event
Hey Norton, if you dont mind me asking, what bolt-on, power modifications have you made to get to that 733rwhp level? Thats what Id like to get to but a little short now.
I don't mind at all... I pieced together (what amounts to) a VMP STAGE 4 Power Pack (JLT 127mm CF CAI, CFM Twin Jet 67mm TB, VMP 2.4" Upper, 90mm Idler, BPS Oversized & Ported Plenum/Elbow, and NGK TR7-IX plugs). I added those to a previously installed VMP Triple Pass-Dual Fan Heat Exchanger and Reische 170' Thermostat, and had her dyno-tuned by Elite Performance And Tuning in Littleton, CO. (My numbers are, of course, SAE-corrected.)
Ok, well we are close actually. My last Dyno runs were 715hp/729tq. Our differences are, Im running 3.73 gear and off road X-Pipe whereas you have the upgraded cooling mods. We have the same intakes/pulleys/throttle body etc...I don't mind at all...

As much as I want another 3.6KB it's just not in the cards with having a family now. That's a 10k upgrade. I'm just annoyed I'm only seeing 14psi with a 2.39 upper, so hopefully with a 10% lower I'll be around 17 to 18psi, or I'll just do E85. I can't decide what I want to do lol. My stock clutch is doing good but like you said, it's hard to say how long it will last.
