I read the SCC article..you did a great job of strenghtening the internals and your fine tuning work with (stock!) ECU(and 30 psi + nitrous) was impressive and really paid off. Congrats.

But, if you want to compare with V6s..this is the only one I know that built up engine to handle the boost like you did (appples to apples)..450 HP with IIRC only about 12-15 psi, minimal tuning, no nitrous...guy I talked too at Dutewiller Engineering felt 600 HP easy with just more boost & tuning but Ford wanted the motor back quick. It will be interesting to see what CEGers do with Hightower's turbo..
