Get rid of the IRS. Sell it to me! Great build. Thanks for sharing.

If you're having that much of an issue even with second gear, have you consider maybe there is an issue with your suspension setup? I went through the same thing 2 years ago and while not superaccurate absolute basis, on a relative basis, I improved 0-60 mph from 5.4 sec to 3.9 sec on the...

Nice work Tim. Looking forward to the results.

+1, do the math. but in addition, what do you use it for primarily, street car, track car? the KB makes a lot of low end torque so you certainly do not need a short gear in first. for comparison sake, the 03 cobra comes with a 2.66 gear with 3.55's for a total ratio of 9.4:1. Assuming you...

+1. given that you have a centfigal supercharger and that tends to make more power up top vs. low end torque, you will want a shorter first gear especially with the 3.73 gears to get out of the hole. For comparison, 2.97 1st gear with 3.73 will give you a ratio of 11.1:1 in first gear. that...

Very good point. For a typical 10psig pulley setup on an S-trim moving 49lb/min of airflow is about 50HP load not including bearing and gear losses. so 500HP at the crank is really 550HP. Tune has ALOT to do with how long the motor will last. Bad A/F or too much timing can break the block...

bump and new price $350

I'm using a UEGO1000 that I bought from AFM back in 2004. It utilizes a Bosch sensor and seems to still be reading ok but I think its time to replace the sensor and the way prices are these days, I can just get another setup. I don't currentlly have a way to log the readings along with the...

Hmm the plan. Well I've been looking to sell the vortech setup so I can go to a single turbo kit. If I can do that, I'll just stay with the 302 motor that I have. If not a 347 shortblock will be next . . .eventually So for now, replace head gaskets, install reduced od valve seals and run...

I have a better idea. You should just buy my whole vortech setup, 8 rib pulley, aftercooler and all. It'll be easier for you in the long run.. ha!

Well I was thinking of getting a boat so I might save them and use them as boat anchors instead. LOL.

Not much more progress to date but did find the cause of the blowout, well the initial one anyways (continued driving/state of denial of a blown head gasket not recommended). After disassembly, it was noticed that there was quite a bit of oil/black crap on the intake and exhaust valves and...

fantastic. hahahaha.

bump here's my shameless plug for the results oriented people out there on how effective this kit is. dyno graph attached is from a dynojet at a shop that used to reside in watervilet, NY back in 2001. engine combo was stock 93 cobra with b-cam and full exhaust, MSD 6AL, 36lb injectors and...

no worries at all. i'm asking $2500 for the whole setup. dan, you're a prime example of this hobby. a bad example but an example none-the-less. LOL -chris

and 3 hours later heads are off and the culprit is found. ummm, pretty sure that should be round. LOL

Glad I could contribute to the corruption. Ha! By the way I know where you can get a complete vortech setup!

Well you can do a little more. My current combo is 520rwhp on stock block with just a main support going on 6 years
