In for results. Good luck with the blower man.
yea man. Not sure what the shelby guys are doing. They seem to be running the big blowers. Not sure what iat temps they are seeing. I know the shop I go to did a 4.0 on a cobra and from what I gathered, the guy said its not a car to cruise around the street and have fun. Its strictly for the track. Not sure if he will keep it. I know too many guys who removed there 4.0 whipple. Heck, even jake took his off and went turbo. makes more sense
My 2.65 is on the car and rough tuned in, but I don't have much time between work and my 8 month old. I never though I'd choose a girl over my car but with her I do, lol.
I did the J2Fab intercooler mod while I did the blower swap, most people that go J2Fab go trunk mounted tank. I wasn't excited about losing my spare tire and all the plumbing/drilling holes so I kept the under hood tank and added an extra tank the drivers side fender well.
Here's my LFP tank that I welded 1" hose barbs into, I also put the harbor freight powder coating kit to use on it after. It was perfect timing that I just bought a Tig welder a month earlier so this is my first project welding aluminum.
LFP dual pass heat exchanger with 1" fittings welded in.
To get some extra coolant capacity I grabbed this 4 gallon tank from Summit to weld in fittings and mount in the drivers fender well. Unfortunately to get the fender liner to fit the way i wanted I had to cut the tank down to about 2.5 gallons.
I swapped out my stock IC pump for the "budget" Davies Craig pump here is the pump to see the size.
I didn't want to cut into the factory wiring so I bought this injector adapter harness so I could make a direct plug in relay harness that would be triggered by the factory intercooler relay. I picked this up off ebay for $3.00 and cut the end off and wired it into a relay for the Davies Craig.
If I can figure out how to upload my video I'll show the flow of the new pump.
Heres the new 2.65 on, I like to keep a belt guard on as I've had a belt break and it hit the hood. I could see my hood getting damaged for that, plus I think it looks better this way.
I'm currently looking at dyno options but the local place wants $200 just for a few pulls no tuning or anything. That seems high so I'm trying to find some better options.

@04sleeper or @MalcolmV8. They will make that thing run like a scalded dog! 04sleeper tuned my car and it runs better than ever.

I'm curious about how well your intercooler set up is going to work. I'm like you in that I really don't want to drill holes and run lines to the trunk.
I ran the Davies Craig EWP150 pump for a while, it worked great.

Looking good, I also chose to keep the stock underhood tank. I welded 1" barbs to the tank and repowdercoated them as well. I have not done the 1" barbs on the H/E so that is one of my limiting factor.
Are you happy with the flow? I am selling a used re-programed EMP pump! These things flow like non other!

Nice work.

Sounds exciting. Can't wait for results. I saw a Cobra with a 10:1 CR engine making mid 800s on e85, but that compression ration should be a huge factor. Even a 30hp gain over the 2.3L would be respectable, but I think people are expecting far greater numbers from all the hype.
Is that Wichita Dyno? If it is, his prices have doubled in the past 2 years. I think i paid $75 for 3 pulls with AFR back in early 2017.
Yep, they originally quoted me $250 last year but the guy on the phone wasn't very confident in that. I figured I'd ask again and was just told $200 on their facebook page.
Theres a guy in Bentley that drag races and has his own personal dyno, he'd let me make some runs on it but that was last November. I never met the guy just found him on Dynojet's Dyno Locator so I don't know how it would end up going. Maybe if I see a break in the temperature I'll give him a call again.
That sucks he's now charging $200 for 3 pulls. He does have a nice dyno and you wont spin on his new setup. I'm just not sure if its worth $200. If you use the guy in Bentley let me know how it turns out.
