Well as a majority of us want to do with our cars, we want to make big power! I want to do the same, except I dont want to go the "normal" route most do buy just slapping on a twin screw and calling it good. I decided to stray away from the pack, so to speak, and do a ported eaton build with E85 and eventually Nitrous!
As of right now I'm just gathering up the parts to put on the car, as it sits my car is just a basic bolt on car with a 2.76 upper. Best Dyno was 452/481
So far, that parts I have gathered are as follows:
SCT2400 MAF
(ordering soon) Lethals budget Return style fuel kit
80lb Injectors
Steig Stage 3 ported eaton
Metco 8lb lower pulley setup (probably going to go with 3.2 BF upper)
I had a SCT3000 but my friend just went with a 2.3 Whipple w/ E85 and he was pegging his MAF so we traded since he needed it and I wont be making quite as much power as him (for now :-D )
What do you guys think I will make for power? Im bringing my car down this Friday to Extreme Performance/Vindictive Motorsports to get a compression check done and have my whole car looked over so I know Ill be okay to go ahead with the new setup. My car has 98k miles and has shot out 2 spark plugs (cylinders 3 and 1) so im worried about blowing any more out, so I will be on the hunt for some new heads, preferably the Jan 05 heads with 9 thread spark plug and better coolant passages, but they go for ~$2200 which I really dont have right now, and im sure I will eventually need to throw in some fresh internals but hope this setup will last me for now.
It is currently my DD which I HATE, so until then I will probably have a pump gas tune on it until I can find a cheap beater to drive during the week and then I can get int retuned for E85 as my mileage will go WAAAY down!
I will keep everyone updated as I make progress and as a few people at the shop predict on spray I should be a tad over 700rwhp which would be AWESOME, but for now, it will be a ported/e85 car until funds allow otherwise! :banana::rockon::beer:
My goal is to be the highest HP stock eaton cobra in the state, not sure who currently holds that but it is a good goal to shoot for and would love to see the poeples faces that I race with either twin screws on pump or etc. when I tell them "oh, im just still on the stock eaton...*troll face*"
