Thats the Build Give your input Please.....

Looks like one hell of a nice ride


Horsepower numbers depends on cam specs and boost pressure
id say over 400 to wheels since it has 8 to 1 compression and can take more boost because of it

not much on the fuel side of things...........I would say 380-400 at crank. But that's a guess.

Call me a dick, but did you build this, or did you get the info out of a catelogue and ask us what it would make?

I agree, lack of fuel might be an issue...

This car is a built car that im going to buy. The Owner built the car from ground up. I notice that you guys talk about the fuel. What can i do to upgrade the fuel, say maybe just bigger injectors (50lb) and say a 255lph in-tank pump instead of the 190. Any suggestions????? This car does exist. Do you think its a good built engine??????????????

I agree with 25thmustang but to answer your question:
I would say add a 255 f/p, Fuel pressure regulator, I am assuming you already have a calibrated maf for the 30lbers? I dont think anymore than the 30's is needed IMO

{Call me a dick, but did you build this, or did you get the info out of a catelogue and ask us what it would make?}

Is the engine build not good and whats do you guys mean by this statement?


Also you mentioned a Pressure regulator / or do you mean a 255lph intank pump?

Thanks Matt

well in my opinion the engine would be fine with the 30's and the 190 pump. However I would think you may be pushing it with the blower as the demand for fuel goes with boost. I woulkd personally run a 42 or bigger injector as well as a minimum of a 255lph HO pump. I'm running both of these on my 331 with a Paxton 1220SL seeing abouth 7lbs of boost.

I couldn't find the chart but if you search these forums you will be able to see the recommended injector for horsepower levels.

oh also is it tuned with a chip or other device or is it running an fmu?

I think it has a FMU!!!!!!

If you bought it I would ditch the FMU too and get a tune from a reputable shop / tuner.

I have a post on the 5.0 Tech articles here now, looking for a tuner tech that is willing to travell to the Bahamas, as this is where the car is. Have any ideas ???? I guess i should go with at least 50lb Injectors and (2) 255lph Pumps or simmilar just to be sure and safe.
Thanks Matt

OK it NEEDS atleast 42's and 255 intank 255 inline. It doesnt NEED a regulator but it would be nice. A tune is also needed throw that fmu in the trash. I would expect nothing less then 450 rwhp, should be more though. Put some front tires on the thing too.

x2 - exactly what i was going to say

I Ordered some 50lb Injectors and 1 in tank 255lph Pump and a Inline areomotive pump that flows 350lph. I Hope that will do it. I already have a Bigger Fuel Rail and a Pressure Regulator. Im trying to have the Car Tuned as well.

Any more forseen issues guys???

Sounds like it should be up to par to me. Will make good power, blower cars are fun.

Thanks Guys for all the input, Thanks for helping me geting me on the right track.
I will post times etc once tuned.

Yea, what Bentley said. Sounds like you're on the right track. 50s and a 255 will be enough fuel to make enough power to split the block. Hopefully you go to a tuner that knows what he is doing. With that low of compression you will be able to crank up the boost and run a ridiculous amount of timing. There's no reason you should leave with less than 450-500rwhp unless you want the block to stay together, but that's no fun, live a little.

Anyone heard of a guy named Greg at Speedy Dyno in Owensboro KY. This is where its going and he will be using a SCT Tuner.

Anyone have used him before or any good things heard about him??????

Run a google search. Ask about his experience with pushrod cars, smallblock Ford's especially.
