How would the 2.3L TVS work in this application, since most people say they work better at 15psi then a 2.9L Whipple? Will this high compression low boost engine still make what a high psi TVS would 650-725whp
How come these engine's cant handle high boost for longevity? My friends EVO run's 25+psi my Cummins runs 42psi and Supra's at 30psi. What is keeping these mod motors from running 28psi+ all day.

Interesting that Livernois was not mentioned in this thread. Don't they build pretty stout engines?

Ray and Racing for Autism got sponsorship from Whipple. Thus why they are running the 2.9. The TVS could very well be a good supercharger for this application as could a Kenne Bell 2.8 LC :rockon:
This is a very unique application. Targa Racing is BRUTAL. There are instances where these cars will be airborne over some portions of the track. There are specific rules and other factors that have to be taken into account. Fuel, Emissions etc. etc. The goal for this motor and application is power and longevity. Boost equals heat and 30 minutes to an hour of boost on any engine is huge heat and it has to be managed accordingly. Since this is a true "race application" the idea was to keep the heat down by reducing the boost and increasing compression which also creates heat but not like boost creates heat.

I don't know about the all-out racing apps, but does Ford have a Re-man. Gt500 Motor available?? Many of us took advantage of the Term. re-man program with Steve at Tousley, about $4K Delivered for a dressed long-block...Good deal that made good power and a 3 yr/100K warranty from Ford...Just wondering....

Another company not many people know if is Huffaker Engineering.. Welcome to Huffaker Engineering They are out of infineon raceway and build some very very very nasty road racing engines.. I know most of the GT500 guys don't know about them.. They are a great company..
What is Targa Newfoundland?
So many of you may have asked yourself, "What is Cooch going on about.. Targa Newfoundland?"
Fear not, I'm going to fill you in!
The Targa is one of three events of its kind in the world, the other two being the Targa Tasmania, and Targa New Zealand. They are time-distance rallies. You are given a time with which to reach a certain checkpoint, or 'Leg', in a certain amount of time. There are many legs to a rally. The faster time is the best. The idea is to have as few penalties as possible by the end of the rally.
The event comprises over 2200 kms of driving. It is an opportunity to unleash the power of a car the way it was meant to be, safely and without harming the public.
Despite it being a race, there are rules. This is an FIA( Federation International Automobiles) sanctioned event, which is the same governing body that governs Formula 1 as well as almost every other major racing event in Europe. FIA rules state that a competitor may not exceed 200km/h as well there is no average speed . That's fast especially driving thru residential towns.
