Just seeing what some people are pushing their built 2v motors on 93 Octane. Wondering what's the most you can get out of pump gas, turbo or superchargeg.
built engines hp/tq on 93 octane

At 10 degrees of timing and 12 PSI boost, my 93 octane tune makes 520 HP with a A/F of 11.4 across the board.
At 10* timing and 15# I make 718whp. I can push it harder on pump gas if I want to but I usually just leave the boost there. Previously with the same engine and a 2.3L Whipple I made 614whp with 10* timing and 17#.
was this made on a ported.......
Pretty sure Matt runs a whip or KB.
He runs a Whipple
Hey Scott, the reason I was asking cus some guys at work were asking what my truck was going to make when I get it back from psi. I told them around 600 and someone said that's probably about the most you can get off pump gas. I told him I was thinking more around 700 or so, with my kb 2.6
600/625 on 93 soon to be more around 660/680 on pump gas.
700 through pump gas is going to require a ton of boost with even a big blower, boost levels that will be unsafe on pump gas. I'm assuming you'll be running a pump gas tune hopefully at no more then 17-18#'s, from there it all depends on compression/heads/cams. 600 is a more accurate number.
I know a handful of guys making 650 on pump gas. Then with these new trick flow heads are making the same power as other ported heads on 2-3 less pounds of boost
I don't know if a KB 2.6 will get you there or not. Maybe with a set of TF heads, good cams, and a decent amount of boost. It all depends on how far you're willing to push the envelope on pump gas. Some guys run a fairly high amount of timing, others run a lot of boost, some both. Personally I'm not willing to take that chance on pump gas all the time. Every once in awhile I can turn up the boost but there's a big gamble when dealing with the inconsistencies pump gas can give you.
Yeah o understand I was just asking...I don't plan on going to far I was thinking maybe 650 then going to turbo after awhile
13 degrees of timing and 17 lbs of boost=597RWHP & 650+ tq. Built with a Whipple running a 3" upper and 6# lower. 93 octane tune.:coolman:
:beer: Mike
A turbo will cure what ails you. :thumbsup:
With a 6# lower and 3.0 upper you're only seeing 17psi?
EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason I was thinking stock block numbers.

what ru running with kb, whipple, turbo
JDM Longblock
-ported heads
-stage 2 cams
KB 2.6H around 18.5psi
bunch of other mods, if you want me to list them I will. Mostly just supporting mods though.
4lb lower and 3.25 upper
