Damn, you are the 1st to buy one and you won't have it installed instantly...cmon man...
Good luck

Will the 2.9 fit under the stock hood with no mods needed?

May be a dumb question but why not go with the 3.4 since it's already out and performing well.

Yes it will fit under stock hood. The 2.9l will give you better low down at smaller psi. The 3.4l will give you better high boost application.

i really debated between the 2.3l and 3.4l.....for what iam going to use the cobra for the 2.9l even 2.3l is perfect for me...believe me the 3.4 is routhless my buddy has a build 5.0 w/ 3.4l in his 03cobra its crazy fast....the 2.9l will be plently enough for me...and yes the 2.9l will fit under the hood...and yes GODSTANG is right about the psi output...2.9l lower psi/3.4l higher psi...just depends what you want i guess.

I know I'll be going with the 2.9L instead of the 2.3 or 3.4.....2.3 just doesn't have enough room to grow and the 3.4 seems just too large for a stret car and seems to be better with built shortblocks than a stock block....2.9 seems perfect...should hit 650 alone with pump gas a few mods, you"d need cams,longtubes atleast to do that with a 2.3

Trust me after all the different blowers I have dealt with and seen about 5% of us truly can take advantage of the 3.4L. I would say 90% do it just cause it sounds cool to have a big blower and they do not take full advantage of it. The 2.9L will be perfect for you. The 2.8L/2.9L is the best of both worlds. They still spin up fast and can get mid to high 20psi for serious power for the street. You will be very happy with the 2.9L.

awesome, cant wait to see your pics! keep us updated when you can.
im going to go with the 2.9l soon too.

 

[Ironhand]

Awesome. Cant wait to see it installed and some power numbers

 

[99stanger]

Damn, whats the price suppose to be on these?

 

[MinGrey02Stg2]

Do you have to change the fuel rails like you do with the 3.4?

 

[kezell]

Im in for the info!!! Hurry up and get it on!

 

[Bdubbs]

Sweet, congrats! A whipple might be in the future for me as well. 2.9L seems perfect, I would like more info on it as well.

 

[VenomSVT03]

lethal called me last week and told me they could order it for me already, im just waiting to see the boost and the power they make with the stock pulley, it might be over 20psi and i wanna be on the safe side i dont wanna blow up my motor, so i would have to use e85 and im not too thrilled with that idea since mine is a DD, let us know how it turns out

 

[Bruha]

Congrats man! sounds awesome. Cost??? Stock psi?

650 on pump gas sounds good to me. When I get ready to go twin screw, pump gas will be a definate requirement for me.

Race gas for some impressive dyno sheets might be nice for some but it's just not practical.
