I think this is the 7.2L swap that’ll be optional. It makes 1350hp built out sc or turbo. Here it is in my lightning both ways.
It pulls to 8400rpm which is wicked. It’s 300lbs lighter than the stock engine. With this and a fully specked out build it should weigh around 2700lbs and be plenty...
Haha it didn’t but I sure did by revving to 7500 many times on the stock computer. I knew better but it’s addictive when you have the heads and cams for it
I don’t wanna hijack but I’m excited for the op, looks like a fun build and I just wanna give the most real world feedback I could since...
I’ve been away for a long time hahaha
I honestly lost (really broke/damaged the hell out of) the phone I had my log ins and email attached to.
I got a new phone but didn’t have the email able to bring over my passwords and so on.
About 1 year ago I found/fixed ($900 haha) that broken phone so...
Turbo size wise I stepped down from comp 60/62’s to vs racing 58/60’s.
I’ll have those in soon, I drive mainly on the street and don’t have e85 so I wanted the quicker spool and the turbos are so cheap I can replace em vs rebuild em.
Op I quickly read the posts/pages and thought I saw you...
Congrats on the build, coming together well!
From first hand advice, use the ms3 or similar to get better tuning.
I made the mistake for years of trying to take the stock computer along and finally said forget that and buckeled down for a Holley efi.
We kept blowing timing and reluctor wheels...

You can turbo swap the stock engine, do an awd conversion, swap in a 7.2L v8 that can make 1350hp, and weight reductions etc from what the videos showed.
Should be good, it’s decent fun to get a lobby with a few people and do freeway pulls/builds.
Based on what it shows, you can...
It’s also good to factor that power builds a little too with the mods. I think the sc setup will make about 740-750hp and the turbo swapped will do 825-875hp.
The mods shown make a little more power when all put on the car. Once the engines at 700hp, adding the exhaust will do more than adding...
I want to see more from both sides on this situation. It’s very dynamic and worthy of daylight on all sides.
no communist countries on the list. America is very enjoyable if you aren’t an impoverished citizen held down by Democrats living in a major blue city without job opportunity to grow...
TRUMP 45 in 10 days! @KingBlack consider looking at yourself in the mirror on November 4th and consider pepping that talk!
you can do it man! Embrace the TRUMP TRAIN! It’s always there for you once you get into it!
Porsche Mecan turbo/S or Cayanne Turbo/S if you do more mountain
Porsche turbo s if all or mostly all city
I brought up the SUV’s since you had a wrangler before but seem to want a Porsche now
if two cars, get a 4runner, sequoia or etc Toyota suv 2000’s, and also get a used 911 something if...
Fun toys aren’t cheap to own and operate...
Considering it costs at a shop or dealer about $1500 a year to keep a 20 year old pickup on the road, it’s not unrealistic to assume a $75k (new) 2014 car will probably eat $2500-5000 of repair at a shop or dealership every year.
ive done “$1500”...
Op is very happy potus is good.
op is keeping an ear to the conspiracy theories, they are at the cusp of culminating into a nothing burger and Trump wins on merit, or a wtf expose and Trump wins a landslide.
I think we get devastating drops later this month, not trying to derail a thread...
I’d take a stick shift Aston Martin over an auto Aston.
I’d take a manual r35 gtr if it existed over an auto.
it’s not about winning races or so on, I just much prefer driving a 3 pedal car in canyons, and twisty’s. I heel toe downshift 3-4 times for the fun of it if I’m going 45 and the light...
I died a bit. That’s gonna choke out my serotonin uptake system for a few hours...
picture how nice that woulda been... those little c classes were great...
I’d go for bright silver or dark charcoal gray. Has to have all black interior though.
I’d like to do something fun with the brake calipers like zr1 blue or canary yellow. Even a nice almost blue turquoise similar to gotta have if blue or a deeper blue like grabber blue, something that stands...
Here are some choices, let’s see what you think is best from a fun and rewarding standpoint, more than practical and fiscal.
location is Rocky Mountains, big city most of the week, but canyons and fun drives weekends. Winter season you have an suv. This is a 2-3 season vehicle with no need to...
On a stock ecu street car terminator running full or near full weight and obviously capped to 7000rpm, maybe 7250rpm (ecu accuracy), a stage 2 cam for 2000-7000rpm or 2250-7250rpm is the most you can realistically justify.
more you open up the valve timing, more you open up high rpm performance...
do cams if you have the heads open.
As per the op’s question from 7 years, probably a stage 2 blower cams from comp or MMR (quartet.) You can’t get much accuracy above 7000rpm with the stock ecu, so it doesn’t make sense to rev to 7500rpm without a stand alone.
Upgrading to a wider/larger lope...
