I too am confused by their decision to use the SVT heads without MAJOR work. I'd have to think that they at least put the larger valves in or something... They won't be able to boost it high enough to justify the work done unless they lowered compression down below the stock 10:1 of the 3 liter.

Using the 3 liter upper is an experiment in itself, not just from redirecting the IAC path, but because it hasn't been dynoed with the SVT heads in place. Unless it adds an insane amount of HP, there's nothing really ground breaking happening there either.

As far as the 3 liter goes... Until they are able to totally finish stage 1 of their project, there really isn't anything happening other than an ongoing, well documented project which includes no more info than the other FAQ sites on-net at this point.

As a whole... very gutsy project for just a couple of guys with basic car knowledge and a two car garage. Stripping a car completely down is a very involved process on these newer cars and getting it running is by far the hardest part. They've done that, now let's see what's under that towel...
