After running a questionable tune for sometime, Bob Kurgan came up to Iowa and tuned a bunch of cars. I had troubles on Friday after he figured out I had a fuel pump going out causing a lean condition. Thanks to good friends, they were able to find a SVT Focus pumps and dropped them that night. Came back Saturday and Kurgan worked his magic.

Build specs:

-99 Teksid Aluminum Block Bored .020 Over w/302ci Stroker Kit
-Mahle Custom 16cc Dished Pistons
-Manley Stroker Rods With ARP 2000 Bolts
-Kellogg Stroker Crank 3.70 Stroke
-99 Cobra Heads(resurfaced, pressure tested, 3 angle seat cut, and valves cut and cleaned)
-Eaton Supercharger, Non ported
-Billetflow 3.4 Upper, Metco 8lb lower
-CAI
-03/04 MAF w/Mafia
-Bassani Mid Length Headers
-Bassani O/R X
-Borla Stingers
-39lb Injectors
-03/04 Tank with SVT Focus Pumps

I missed the first run but here is the second run:

Third Run (didn't upload in HD :nonono:):

final numbers were 492 rwhp / 540 rwtq and 18 degrees of timing on 91. Feels great to have the car running right. Pulls like a freight train and luckily haven't gotten to any trouble with this new found power:D!

Now I just need order some MM ISOs so I can put the CCW Classics back on.

Later,
Ryan

You built a Forged Stroker and bolted on an unported Eaton with a 3.4 upper?
That being said Very Good #'s for that combo especially with the low compression..AND Nice Torque with that #8 lower!

cam specs?
what are your plans for the blower? nasty motor for a stock eaton!

Stock 99 Cobra cams. No plans for the blower this year, perhaps in the future but right now I'm happy with the setup.

I bought the car back in 2007 with the built motor setup and 03/04 conversion with the 8lb lower and unported Eaton. However, I just put the 3.4 upper since I had it laying around for years. It's an odd pulley combo but the setup works for a great weekend cruiser.
