10 Rib Set Up on new boss crate motor with 2.9 whipple

[378wby]

I'm just finishing my build on a new boss crate engine, with the SCJ Ford 10 Rib Setup on a whipple 2.9, Tremec 6060, American Racing Headers.....etc. This will be going into a 2012 Mustang GT. Should be ready for the tuners next week. Running 100 Octane. Will Post Dyno Numbers once I have them.

Sorry about not pic issues, if you Click here to view these pictures larger link in my other post it should direct you to the pics.

Any particular reason why you went with the Boss long-block? It sounds lke a killer setup, but with the costs involved in the build, I might have opted for a true forged bottom-end.

Either way, sounds amazing, and I'm totally jealous!

Yeah, I would have gone with the 11:1 aluminator and just swapped in the Boss cams. Much stronger bottom end. Although the Boss engine does come with the CNC'd heads too.

The shop that is helping me with the build had an extra boss crate engine in inventory and made me a deal on it that I couldn't refuse.

Swap in some better rods and you will basically have the $25k Cobra Jet S/C engine there.

I though the boss motor already had complete forged internals?

Looks great.

Finally dropped the engine, headers, tremec....etc in. Need to upgrade the fuel system then its off to the tuners.

I really like your set up. Should make some nice power. What fuel upgrades are you doing?

I had hoped that a boost a pump and larger injectors would suffice but it first blush it appears that things fall off from a fuel delivery perspective as one nears 600 RWHP. I'm going to be installing a return style fuel system. Something similar to the JPC offering. My installer does a lot of work for Ford Racing and is discussing a number of options with the ford racing group. Happy to keep you posted as things materialize

Wow, that's a big pulley. Looks great though!

The pulley is stupid big, so much that with the the 2inch blower snout the hood will barely close. The challenge with the 10 Rib set up is that you have to run a crank damper with a 20% overdrive. It's a balancing act relative to boost calibration between the overdrive damper and the actually SC pulley. My hope is that I will be able to go to a smaller pulley once I get it on the dyno and determine boost level, hp........etc.

Some people just start with the smaller blower pulley and race gas in the tank for the initial tuning to keep it safe. Then adjust down to 93octane while watching for knock.

A good rule of them is the O/D crank pulley is going to add 5-6psi to whatever the blower pulley would have made on stock crank.


I need to quit screwing with my Raptor and get busy on my install to catch up with you guys.

I am curious how quick you get to max rated rpm of the 2.9 with the 20% overdrive damper. Also curious if driving it over the max rated rpm just puts the blower out of it's efficiency range or if it causes longevity issues.

R Barn, thanks so much for the information/guidance here. Looking forward to getting my car finished. Keep me posted on yours as well

I haven't calculated the blower rpm's with the 10-rib vs stock, but I am able to run a 2.75 6 rib pulley on the 2.9 with no slippage using a Metco idler.

What type of boost/fuel type are you running? Thx slagburn
