Finally dyno #'s from the turbo combo..

[VTEngines]

Well, we finally got to test my motor with the turbo strapped on. To say I'm happy is an understatement!! The motor ran flawless pull after pull and the BigStuff3 COP system was up to the task. John Meany worked his magic with the keyboard and the results were 1448 HP and 1077 TQ!! This tuneup is so safe that it's not even funny: 22psi, 13.5 deg timing and 11.2 A/F. If it wasn't 90+ deg and humid as hell today....it would be well over 1500hp with the safe tune. Folks, this turbo is being maxed out......

In case you didn't know, the engine combo consists of the following:


324ci
Explorer aluminum block
Darton Sleeves
VT stroker crank
GRP aluminum rods
CP pistons
VT/Cometic Darton head gaskets
Fox Lake stage 2 Navi heads
Complete Crower valvetrain
Crower cams
VT Billet pump gears
Sullivan Intake

This is the exact same combo that you get when you purchase your VT Billet Longblock!!!


I would like to thank ALL the following people for their help and support:

John Meany @ BigStuff 3
Mike,Pops and Charlie @ the shop for all the extra hours you put in with me
Darius @ CP Pistons
Ron and Cory @ Foxlake
Scott @ Sullivan Performance
PK @ Injectorman
Dalton @ Pro Turbo Systems
Rick @ Innovative turbo
John @ Accufab
Scott @ VT for all the late nights

Without all your help, none of this would ever be possible.

Here's to a 98mm and 1800hp shortly........
