Very impressive #'s Craig!!!! Your combo is working very good, but when is the 4.5 whipple going on?! Lol :rockon:
Alright now what did ya say about me this time?

Yea. I called yesterday to see how it was going. The machine shop didn't finish the intake manifold mods before the weekend, so it will be later this week and won't be finished before Jon goes on vacation.Yes, I saw it up on a lift, front end wrapped in plastic. Chuck was working on what looked like a huge turbo Coyote build while I was there.

Your boost numbers and power numbers confirmed a lot of what I thought would happen with the mods you did. I'm impressed with the results you achieved
With 19 psi it should break a 1000 Hp easily. Then you could also increase engine RPM at the same time and probably get close to 1100 without raising the boost. At 23-24 psi of boost it would be a real monster.I was rather amazed at how much boost the porting work ate up as well. The engine is really flowing tons of air now. With a big huffing blower on there I'm sure it would make huge numbers at a relatively low boost.

I was referring to the possibilities in the future with the 4.0. I wouldn't try to spin the 2.9L any faster than you are now. It is already losing too much in efficiency and is probably adding heat to the IAT as it is now.I can't get to 19psi with this 2.9L. Well, I might be able to, but I'd probably have to run a 2.50" upper to do it and I'm already spinning the blower north of 22,000 rpm. Probably not worth it.
