yea i think the 3.4 would be complete overkill, i should have said 2.9 instead
Engine Build
- Thread starter intermatic
- Start date
there's a station with E85 nearby me which I'll most definitely be getting a tune for in the future.
I guess the choice would be between the 2.9 whipple and the TVS

Nice!
Details on the build please!
new crank, rods, & pistons (stroker kit, should be ~5.0l)
stage 3 comp cams, high boost jlt cai, ford gt pumps, TVS w/ gt500 throttle body
Sounds like a build I may do once I frag my stocker.
I already have the VMP TVS and GT500 TB though.
I actually have production model #1 for both.
What compression?
keeping stock compression
Who is building the engine?
PCHS Racing Engines on long island.
On my build I will bump the compression to 9.0-9.5ish.
I like the idea of free HP and more power at lower boost levels.
Best of luck with your build!!:rockon:
yea, i kind of wish i had gone a little higher, but i'll be keeping it on a pump gas tune for the foreseeable future so i don't mind really. if i ever want silly 800+ power i'll have to end up replacing the tvs most likely..and thats not happening anytime soon! thanks, i'll be sure to update the thread as it progresses
You will do great on stock compression.
I was at mid 600s on 93 at 19-20lbs 17*
Currently at 730+ on E85 at 21.5lbs 20*
This is on a stock motor.
730 on the street is a blast but takes throttle control to get traction.
At the track with drag tires it does very well.
I'm very excited to get the car back.
I'm hoping there is a noticeable difference from my old nitrous/eaton setup which made 543hp and 504 torque on a mustang dyno.
I used to run sprayed ported Eaton set up.
It was a blast but got tires of filling bottles and forgetting to turn the bottle on. DOH!
Having full time power just a press of the gas pedal is much better!

So after talking with my shop and erring on the side of caution, I decided I did not want to go with the TVS solely because of the EGR incompatibility.The last thing I want is for the EGR delete to cause a failed emissions inspection. I have to get it tested down in Maryland which I know uses less precise equipment than the NY emissions test centers, however I will soon be registering the car in NY and do not want to deal with passing emissions every year. I will be going with the 2.9 Whipple with the standard inlet instead.
Any updates on your build?
