Well, that isn't the only thing I am going to experiment with, however the rest is top secret.
Suffice it to say that selling those heads was a hard decision, but since I think I can do just as well if not better on the new ones I wouldn't have sold them. Even then, I get some other benefits that helped tip the scales.

Thanks for hijacking my thread!  Just kidding. I will pick up my "Round 2" project this morning. I can't wait to drive it!!!! I have a 5.5K Rev Limiter on it for a week or so. The motor has 5000 miles, but some bearings and whatnot are new, so I will baby it for 500+ miles. With a very conservative (just so it runs trouble free) tune, it put down 250FWHP and 230+FWTQ (IIRC) @5000 RPM's with 5# of boost. I think I may reach my intended numbers without breaking too much of a sweat. I need a new MAF and 30 or 42# return injectors (anyone got a set of those puppies???). I am using the stock MAF and 24# injectors. I will run out of fuel up top, I am sure... Especially with no FMU. I am very excited... I have not driven the car in 4 months.

Wow those are great numbers, mine took a almost a 30hp jump up at 5500 so you will blow by what I had. Remember I hit 303 FWHP but de-tuned to 278. With the master at SF tuning it you'll be able to hit your numbers.
What mods do you have above and beyone what I had?

It is so nice to drive it again. Here I am, back at work. I just went and picked it up. It is way stronger than before, even shifting at 4500 RPM's. It is a bit quirky and it will be a while before I feel 100% comfortable in it, but I am loving it.

That's awesome! I bet you are really proud now. I hope you hit the 300 wHP mark once you fix up your fuel injectors. I do have to point out that the 36# injectors have provided enough fuel to hit 350 at the wheels so I can't see you needing more than that with the vortech, though its your choice. If 42's are cheaper and easier to come by then so be it, but I would look for 30-36 range and call it good. Kinger: Top secret is what I call it when I want to test some idea that could turn out to suck. If it turns out good then I'll post it and if it sucks then I won't have people saying "I knew it" or the like. Most people find it very easy to point the finger when it is someone else's sweat and money. Suffice it to say that the ideas I want to test MAY turn out to yield good fruit for the turbo crowd. There is also the allure to having the 'exclusive' motor; however I've been indoctrinated by the scientific method for research at the university. I worked for a professor where we did research and then published the results afterward. I have my name as co-author on several papers; a fact that I am proud of. I will publish at least some of my results though possibly not all. There is still competition to think about after all.

Competition for what? Are you racing for money? If you do find your 'top secret' ideas and then publish them your competition will all know about it then right?
Sorry for giving you a hard time man, but if you think about it, all of our modding means nothing 5-10 years from now. No need for secrets for such a short lifespan

That's awesome, Jason! You're already 30 ft. lbs. above the old engine.
