Medusa Version 3.0 (New Build)

Perfect, well tuning is going to be more in depth than thought, so we are pushing the completion date out a little bit more to be safe. But on Saturday I'll be getting dyno vids

Nice! I can't wait to see what these numbers are gonna look like !!

It SHOULD look something like 8xx, maybe even a 9xx..

Depends on a few factors. I think the A/W setup loses some boost. I never measured it though. But I was making 17psi on the last setup. I know based off of the other engine of my buddies that it lost 4psi with the same pulley combo on a 2.9 whipple.. So that puts it at 14psi, BUT I went to a bigger blower the JT-trim which pushes more CFM per pulley.. So that bumps it back up for probably 16psi.. Then lets factor in that the custom A/A cooler drops less than 1psi.. and that the A/W setup was restricting before.. It could be 17-18psi on the same pulley setup now.

Based off of the 2.9L car they did at 19psi it made 1000rwhp.. My blower takes less power to turn which is free power too. SO really, who the hell knows what it'll make. My Guess is somewhere between 8xx-950 on this pulley combo. Also RPM plays a key roll. IF the heads can flow into the 7500rpm range, it's going to make really stupid power.. Like, I'm going to be scared to drive it and will need to detune it power.

I was thinking airflow will change a bunch with this setup. Boost numbers could stay the same but airflow will increase by a ton. Super exciting either way! I can't wait to hear it on the dyno!!

According to Drew who's been doing free rev tuning with no boost, it rev's retarded fast!

You had an air to water setup before? Was that using a terminator style setup? If it wasn't I'd love to know more (pm me or link me or something so as not to derail the current thread)

I had a vortech aftercooler setup with a shit ton of work done to it lol

Man glad to hear she's almost done!

Thanks bro, I'm getting excited.. kind of.

This Thread is winning!!!! following

Thanks man!!

Been a lurker on this build for a while! Lol. Excellent to say the least! Excited to see the results.

If I missed it, is this motor fresh? Did Drew recommend retorquing head studs after first heat cycles? Just curious, I've seen people do it with and without retorquing.

This is brand new motor. Heads will be retorqued I'm sure as he's done it with other cars.

So for a tuning update.. We are calling in Redline-motorsports
https://www.redline-motorsports.com/

They are going to come out and tune the car, and teach a bit.. Pretty badass that they have a 235mm car going 160mph in the 1/8th

Well today was a incredible day.. Drove the car for the first time in almost 4yrs.. It's partially tuned. Needless to say this is a very intense car, that rev's so fast it's insane. I have a vid of driving it but it's not worth posting.. So this walk around video will have to work with some pics

It's alive!!! Awesomeness man!!

Thanks Pete, I'm gonna shoot you a text next week. I might take you up on your offer after driving it today. I don't think this is something that I want to drive 80miles home lol.

Absolutely man! Just let me know before Wednesday as I am leaving for Hawaii. I can hide the keys to the trailer for ya.

The racepak is going to get some getting used to that's for sure.. I do like it. This whole car is a completely new car.. I can't wait either!
