Is it possible to just switch headunits and pulleys or is there more involved?
Dont be so quick to dump that Roush blower brother.....
I am personally a fan of pushing something til you cant push no more and see what it's capable of first..... The biggest problem I see with the Roush TVS is not being able to go past about 12-13 lbs of boost. I have the 69mm upper, and you can't put a bigger lower on, so I am throwing about as much boost at it as I can. I do admit, for $3200 or whatever the 2.9 head unit is, it's awefully tempting..... but I am not sure lb for lb what the difference would really be. I fell as though there is still alot more power potential with the Roush blower, but can't squeeze it out because I have pretty much the smallest upper available.
Move to sea level and that TVS will scream...or put some nitrous on it oke:
That was your job and you are a quitter!:coolman:
^ I lol'd
Right on brother. 2.9 has more potential no doubt. I consider my 2.3 TVS maxed out at this point, only because I can't throw more boost at it. 12 lbs and it's done, that's sad! For the love of god, someone needs to step up and make a bigger crank pulley. Screw the money on a new blower, more spray!
I know, right.... He had the fuel system and everything... Just no balls!:rockon:
There is a 10%? over ATI damper out there last I checked, not sure how the overall fit would work out. I'd have stayed with the 2.3 Whipple but the motor got hurt.
Not that anybody in this thread is shooting for 1K to the wheels but big hitter status is gonna take more than a 2.9 unless you build a full cobra jet replica motor.
Get the ford racing 10rib kit with the 20% OD damper, that should do up the TVS nicely (too bad it is so expensive, nitrous is a third of the price oke
Next year will be a whole new chapter in fast times...at least it better be or I quit.
OP: If you are only on the 79mm pulley you still have pulleys to go. I'd build and pulley it down and do nitrous...would be a beast.
Hit me with a link to the ATI unit brother.... Bud's is/was stock size, no?
