I will be running e85 or e90. it will have the capability for 93, but you would only see 750 hp ish out of it. which will be fine for everyday driving.

Got a badass set of twin turbskis ordered, Jason got a set of comp turbo triple bb and custom billet wheel 65/66's on order. They will spool like a 62 but support 850 whp each. Fore fuel system showed up on my doorstep today, opg, crank gear, and shelby mike gt350 tensioner arms arrived as well. only thing left to order is a Mcleod rxt clutch kit.

i have spoken to a couple of people who build the kits using that specific turbo and everyone said the oilless turbos work awesome but like anything you will get 1 out of 10-15 that didnt work perfect out the box and will need rebuilt. there are way to many kits out there running perfect and making stuoid numbers with the oilless turbos. plus with a gt350 you almost have to go this route becaus of the plastic oil pan and the scavenge pump to run it back to the passenger valve cover like hellion does it.

If you have a good $30k to invest in the turbo setup then do it. I'd only do it if I had the coin to cover all the shit that may come up being a test mule. Like custom fab, fuel, odds and ends, possibly a blown engine.

^^This!^^ Definitely have money available to cover any post-build issues that may/will need to be resolved, including the possibility of a re-build. Bottom line, just ensure your finances will cover this project in its ultimate entirety. JMO.

Im not sure whats the point of buying a GT350r and turning it into a straight line monster. That defeats the whole purpose of the car. Its not like you're gonna hot lap at laguna seca with 1,000rwhp.

^^^This in spades!! I felt/feel the same way about guys buying Boss 302s and turning them into straight line cars. It makes zero sense! Just get regular Mustang GT and leave the special cars for the people who want to enjoy them at their intended purpose!

There is a 1,000HP GT350 out there.


Doesn't even sound like a GT350 anymore.

reliable is the key word and the real kicker is several motors have popped with stock tunes on bad shifts. So they definately arent made from adamantium.

A bad shift can destroy any engine. Especially an engine revved out to 8250 then suddenly revved to 10,000+. Unless you have a Formula 1 (or Honda 4-banger) engine in there, there's no way it's going to survive unscathed.

Interesting thread.

I dont think you'll like the Comp turbos but hopefully im wrong.

Also... going too big on turbo choice will be a mistake. The lag is going to be frustrating on a car that already lacks bottom end.

Pair of 60s or 62s would be plenty for 1200whp or more and spool before 4000 rpm.

LOL, I'm not leaving anything for anyone. While I would never modify my (real) Shelby, BOSS302, or Cobra Jet cars, on a 2017 car it's my car and my rules. I'm too old to be sitting at a traffic light next to some mullet-wearin, tooth-missin, cousin-marrying LE1 driver with exhaust and a tune and be humiliated. If I BITFU I'll fix it. ;^)

Actuall.... my 04 Cobra lived through 3 missed shifts from 3rd to second. Lol. Blew the fuel pressure regulator and scared the shit out of me each time but still ran like a champ.
