Not sure what's next...

Besides making the decision between new struts with HR springs vs Megan's... not sure what else I can do?

Sure I could go bigger turbos but I am already bumping that 450 hp/tq limitation on the motor...and if I get a motor built then I am still limited by the trans... I just don't see spending 15K on a motor to gain a half second and still be limited on the AWD system...

Perhaps the CHRA kit from ecopowerparts to get a bit more from the stock turbos... dunno..

For 15K I could pickup a foxbody and turn 11's all day with money to spare...

You should do that....

In March of 2018 when I'm ready to buy another.

Side note... I haven't gone cheap on anything so why start... sourcing some Megan's now...

After that it's sit and wait for drive train upgrades to be developed...

No HPFP for you?


I was dead set on it!!! Everyone here knows it! But after talking to LMS about it and working with meth, I can develop more power than I can use with the meth. Fuel pressure is not an issue.. even at 22.5psi I have 2200psi...

No point in building a motor if the drive train can't handle it and no upgrades coming in the foreseeable future...

And with meth we can push more power than our motors can safely handle... its like dominos...

Oh well... looks like I'm maxxed for a awhile...

Are you on stock turbos?


Yea, until the seals crap the bed... even then... the stock turbos can put out enough boost to max out the motor...

With a 3.5 Eco...?  I love something different.  5.0 or 5.8 sbf fox are a dime a dozen :-p  Can even get a SN95 these days for $3k or less.  Build the motor, glide behind it......

Is there a stand alone/aftermarket ECU to run the 3.5Eco in swaps and it is tunable by our inhouse pro's?
