This is really impressive! Now let me ask the question... how long do you expect your transmission and halfshafts to hold up? Have you started your own "Dog-Box" plans? Also, have you done anything to put the power to the road? i.e. torque straps/mods... Just want to know. I am very excited to see your 1/4 mile ET's. If you can get that beast to pull a 2.0-2.1 60' then you should hit 11.99 or better. Great job! Where is Warmonger for some competition???

I'm running a fully modded HMS trans and stage 3 shafts. Power to the road is through 245/45/16's and just a ES front mount insert so far. Been busy getting it to make the power first. Now it's time to harness it.

Good news. What is the HMS Dog-Box expected to handle? Crank hp wise... I am really happy to see 400+ Crank Hp out of our little Franken-Ford platform.

Rick
Is that 3 to 4psi drop going to present a problem (hp losses) when used with the standard Vortech set up on a 2.5l?

That's great, Rick! It's funny, even with 396 fwhp, we nit-pick to try and get 4 extra hp... a true sign of addiction.   Congrats on the numbers, Rick. I hope everything goes smoothly from here on out!

All of these responses and still nobody mentions the low RPM the peak HP was achieved at. Please notice how quickly the HP curve is starting to go North just before he shut her down! Until we see the natural HP peak somewhere's about 8 grand, this combo ain't done yet! 
You guys can say better this or better that all you want. Just wait for the chip to come back from fordchips and you'll have your 400+ at the wheels easily.

Trade a few pounds of boost for cooler denser air any day of the week.
Hey Rick, were you running any ice in the aftercooler? Water alcohol mix???
