same thing happened to me. I was at 510 rwhp 550rwtq with my ported eaton. 2.8 upper 4lb lower. we didn't have e85 back then. The car felt slow bc we get used to it, and these blowers get hot. One pass and its dead. And when your young, you always have something to prove and want to be the quickest. Back then it was a bit easier lol Now its hard to keep up with all these newer faster cars on the road. your kb swap will be fine.
I’m definitely not trying to squeeze every ounce of power out of it. 600-650w and it will stay that way. Baby #3 is on its way, this country is getting worse by the day…I’ll enjoy for what it is once it’s done.
Well, at 75 I still don't do adult things but I do agree with this. I have a few ticks over 500 wheel HP/TQ and I can smoke a pair of MT's/TQ's on the street. A ported Eaton, upper and lower pulleys, 60 lb injectors, BAP, ram air, SCT MAF and tune, then go set your hair on fire.
I'll add another one for stangfreak. The most fun I had was with the Posi eaton on ethanol. Running a 10 second pass on an eaton wasn't something that was quite the norm yet when I got there. There were maybe 20 of us, documented on here, that had done it at the time. It was really cool to be a part of that. The car saw 132 in the 1/4 too. The difference between the eaton setup and then TVS on ethanol, was how 4th felt. It wrapped well with the eaton, but 4th wrapped like my old fox body would in 2nd. I never felt out of control on the street with 552 rwhp with the eaton. I had to pay very close attention while "having fun" with the TVS. First one was banging 3rd, the ass end went left, then snapped back right, and I was on the wrong side of the road checking my shorts. It was tracking straight, just in the wrong damn lane. That was when I questioned my choice a little.
I have to agree. I never took my '03 Cobra over 504rwhp with a ported Eaton, but the previous setup (stock Eaton) of 457/480 was more satisfying on the street. A ton of awesome memories with that combo.
What’s your fuel system setup?
.
congrats on the baby.
Fore level 2 in a dead head set up with ID1050X injectors. I played the catch up game in my last car and it almost cost me an engine. So this time I went big so I wouldn't have to worry. I'm running both pumps full time as well.
I have the same setup but did the FC3 so I wouldn’t have to run both pumps all the time. 80lb injectors for me. Glad to know it’s working for you. Mine will be dead headed. Where did you mount the FPR? I know where I’m going to mount mine but If you have a better place I’ll change it.
Ha! I think I have the same power washer.
It's in the passenger side wheel well basically behind the head light. I used on of the bumper studs for mounting. I have the fuel line entering the engine compartment under the air filter.
As we speak im fabricating a bracket to mount to the side bracket of the KB since I’m not amounting any EGR stuff. I might look at copying you before I make this permanent. Thanks!
Here is mine. This bracket is TEMPORARY. I’ll be making a legitimate one after it’s tuned and running well. This will be fine for now. It needs a third mounting point for sure. Feed and return will run down the drivers side.
. Also got a smoked 3rd break light to replace my broken one
The bracket that Harpell makes might work for you. I have the Fore rails as well. I figured one and done kinda thing.
