My setup,keep in mind this was all done back in 06. The setup has 24k on it. Engine has a oem block, stock pan, JE pistons with stock compression, all ARP fasteners were used, Manley rods, used the stock crank that was micro polished chamfered oil holes and balanced to a half a gram. Oem oil pump gears. The heads were ported and the lower intake to match. 5 degree angle valves, Comp valve springs and retainers, stock cams. Stock timing gears, chain and retainers. Head cooling mod, bigger expansion tanks, fluidyne radiator stock fans, 170 degree thermostat, oem water pump, fluidyne heat exchanger, no fans, oem pump. Mac longtubes, bbk off road H with custom side exhaust. 4 lb. lower old one no rings like the new metco kits know. Metco idler kit, with whipple adjusting idler. A 2.80 RR sc pulley. Eaton sc, steig ported stage 4. J2 alternator. NGK one set colder plugs. Jlt Ram intake, sct 2500 90mm maf. Accufab single blade TB. Stock fuel rails, 60 lb injectors tie into a aeromotive filter with -8 fuel line from the tank. DivisionX gen2 fuel hat, using the oem fuel line as a return. Two ford GT super car pumps (no E85).A custom FPDM wire harness with two FPDMs. When she was tuned back in 07, the fuel duty was only at 17%.
New mods looking at added a 2.9l gene 2 whipped 3.5 upper pulley, Metco lower kit with oem ring and 4lb ring. Stewart components water pump, Upgraded VMP intercooler pump and plug and play harness, VMP by PWR 03-04 Cobra "Terminator" intercooler core upgrade. MMR Coolant Cross Over Delete with Lines & Filler, J2 Fabrication 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra Flow Mod.
Plan is to run the setup on 93 oct first. And after that go with new injectors and fuel pumps for e85 and spin the sc with a 3.2 upper and a 4 lb lower. The boost should be around 25 psi if my calculations are right. Not sure what max psi is.
Questions, the whipple instruction say you can use the oem fuel rails, I thought you could not because they would not clear?
I know my fuel system will be fine on 93 oct but my concern is the mass air meter.
All those new cooling mods, has anybody done them and seen differences? I think I need all those mods from what I have read on the web. But I’m not 100% sure. It all has to come off to put the Whipple on so, this is the time to change them out, is my thinking. The oem water pump is leaking so I need to replace it.
I’m not sure with the oem timing hardware and oem oil pump gears how hard I should push it or what I should limit the power too.
The only thing I bought is the whipple, like new 3k on it.
thanks
