Perhaps someone can help me out over here. MM&FF magazine is fairly well known for leaving out important details on some of their articles especially when it come to the equipment that happens to be sourced from their advertisers who want to sell said equipment (one that stands out is Snows Performance "just fill bottle with water/methanol and make 70 more hp :rollseyes ). The rag is not what it use to be 10 years ago as it's now almost completely void of home grown technical articles and only seems to showcase advertisers equipment as stated and other peoples builds. It's boring to the point I seldom read it cover to cover like before. I started reading it in 04 and back then it was more like a technical manual, no more it's almost all promotion.
The November issue features installing a Kenny Bell 2.8 in a 2015 GT 5.0. Again a lot of the emphasis was on how great KB's are and you can take it all the way to a 4.7 :uh oh: which even that they showcased a few issues back but as usual never informed the reader if there were any risks in do so, even this article extolled the virtues of the liquid cooled case but never divulged where they were dumping the heat with much of it being absorbed from the engine! :nono:
Here's my question: The articles stated they took a box stock 2015 GT 5.0 boosted to only 10 psi and made 640 rwhp up from 385 a 255 hp gain. I don't doubt the numbers but something tells me an attempt to take an 11:1 Coyote motor which is close on the cusp of detonation already to 640 hp required something more then pump gas. They are leaving details out, AGAIN! Am I missing something here? 10 psi @ 11:1 is pretty steep for pump swill.
