I'm upgrading my Mach 1. I found a really nice deal on a factory fresh 03/04 Cobra short block built for 1000 HP with Manley pistons/rods, 8 bolt Cobra crank, all ARP hardware, but still keeps the original 8.5:1 compression ratio of the Terminators. If I had a roots or twin-screw I wouldn't think twice about it, but how is this going to perform with a P-1SC? What will my power curve look like on the dyno, and how will it feel out-of-boost just cruising around town?
It's my daily driver, so if it's going to feel really sluggish when I'm just driving normally I might want to get different pistons for a higher comp ratio. Wanted to get a Livernois engine, but it would be like $11k for the engine alone and that's just too much money. Aiming for 600-ish rwhp or whatever this blower can give me. Is that much power even possible with a P-1SC and 8.5 compression?
