For sure, I hate midwestern winters for that reason. You know they keep racing all winter in the south....

I am sad, I like numbers. You will post dyno slips after you spin the rollers no?

What Turbine are you using if I may ask? (A/R, Housing, Dia)

Its not hard. Spend 5 years on a project yourself and waiting 2-3 years for another's project isn't so bad.

Check the rear of the valve covers before saying its a rear main seal. 3.9's like to leak on the lower rear corners and it runs down the transmission and smokes off the manifolds etc. Also if the rear main is leaking, make sure the pcv valve isn't frozen shut as sometimes thats all it takes to...

Crown Victorias, and 97 or older Thunderbirds were very good at squealing the belt when making the 1-2 shift. If the belt is really worn or the tensioner is getting loose the belt can slip during a shift due to the speed and the mass of the alternator, it will do a little burnout on the belt...

Did you ever get a thermostat or some type of temp regulation figured out on it?

Very nice.

Catalyst Monitor on a Ford will not run until all other monitors are complete, so if your EGR monitor doesn't run, unless you change the conditions for catalyst, it won't run either... The best way to make an EVAP run is to start it cold and let it idle for 15 minutes. Its looking for a...

Since the bypass is open the flattening of the elbow doesn't affect offboost performance any does it?

I'm sure you've realized this, but a way overaggressive fueling is just as bad for an engine as running lean can be. Too much fuel will take the oil off the cyl walls and you end up burning a piston (I've run into this on 3 occations at work). The other downside is even if everything stays ok...

Ya, and it also makes me realize how poor my proof reading is sometimes: "fully competely an in a kit" instead of fully completed in a...

When you have the setup fully completey an in a kit form (if) are you going to make a day of a road course or some type of extended high load and then pull the engine and mic vital things like pistons, have the rods check for straightness, bearings etc?

Don't mention the forced induction 3.0, thats my project for when I finish college a second time...

Have you spun the rollers with it yet? As far as using the SCT are you using a handheld or the PC software a dyno facility would have? How hard was using the factory electronics under a boosted application?

Typically you loose enough energy from a rear mounted turbo that I've seen .48 exhaust side t3 running a 350... where if it were mounted under the hood you would probably be running an .82 exhaust side or larger. Heat is power for a turbo, the expanding gasses drive the turbin, and if its...

How are you able to remap factory electronics? Are you using a boost reference or mass air only? Will you be changing shift scheduling and/or apply pressures etc for the added torque? Thanks
