Just so you guys know, they've been experimenting with the 3 liter ECU. The car has run on it in the past, not sure if anything has changed since then. Bypassing the PATs is a non issue, only taking a few simple jumpers in the underhood fuse box (so says my friendly car alarm/starter install shop I used to work for). Or, your original keys can be programmed at your dealer once the new ECU is installed. The 3 liter ECU is already programmed for the 24# injectors, but not the compression jump or the SVT cams, so a custom chip/Apexi/Greddy would still be better.
I've been following that project with great excitement to see what it puts down with the 3L UIM in place...
BTW, what Warmonger did with the bigger valves is standard proceedure for installing larger valves, not to take anything away from what he did. I too was confused by their decision to not use the larger valves in their 2.5 heads, or use the 3 liter heads instead for that matter since boost plans have roamed about under the lid of this project. Boost on 11:1 compression? 3-4 pounds at most maybe which = 30 HP or so on this engine... to many secrets to judge properly at this point. I can't wait to see it dyno when it's complete though after all of the time in it.
