<<<<<<------------------ waiting for results from someone who spins the 2.9L to it's max blower rpm and who runs race gas with an aggressive tune.

Congrats on the purchase!

lethal called me last week and told me they could order it for me already, im just waiting to see the boost and the power they make with the stock pulley, it might be over 20psi and i wanna be on the safe side i dont wanna blow up my motor, so i would have to use e85 and im not too thrilled with that idea since mine is a DD, let us know how it turns out
i was told by whipple that the stock pully 3.5 will produce 17psi and 3.25 will produce 19psi...but will see.

yeah im also wanting to know the price/power #'s . keep us informed.:beer:

I put a 2.9 on a 09 shelby it made like 648rwhp and almost matched tq within like 5-10 rwtq if i remember correctly with a 3.25 pulley(15psi). I would think the lil 4.6 should crack those #s and more but pullied for a bit more boost(20Psi). a bit less tq than the 5.4 motor due to displacement.

how much more is it than the 2.3? Also, how much taller is it than the 2.3? I ask because I already installed the MM strut bar made for clearing the Whipple, and want to make sure it is still going to clear this one. I'm running a stage 5 under it now, but needed the clearance for my Dragon inlet, and figured it would be perfect for the next step (Whipple) too.

Pricing on a black blower is $3,704.99 and +$285 for a polished blower

Thats comming straight from Carbd86GT@Lethal a few weeks ago

wow, isn't that more than lethal sells the 3.4 for?

I figured it would naturally be priced between the 2.3 and 3.4.

edit: the 3.4 sells for 3704 so I guess they are going to be priced the same?

I figured it would be 3500 to 3600.
