Hey Brian.

Why dont you impress these guys with some pics of your whip.

 

[FordNut]

I'll see if I can dig up something.

BTW, I've probably changed my setup almost as many times as Zack.

was 303rwhp/318rwtq N/A
then 476/410 D1SC ProCharged on stock block
then 660/555 D1SC PC on 5.3 wet sleeved Teksid alum big bore stroker
then 365/369 N/A on 5.3 wet sleeved Teksid alum big bore stroker
then 686/612 3.4L Whipple on 5.3 Boss5.0 iron big bore stroker (93 octane) or 680/592 (91 octane)
Now 751/617 after upgrading CAI

What happened with the Teskid 5.3?

What happened with the Teskid 5.3?

Pretty sure he had some issues with the sleeves.

Head gaskets. MP said it was possibly due to sleeves moving.

Fresh pics, sorry it's so nasty.

 

[Zack]

I never get tired of looking at 3.4 Whipples.

Any idea on how much the Boss block can take?

 

[FordNut]

MP said my build could do 1200. It's way low because I run 16 lb boost, 16 degrees timing, pump gas, no spray.

Boss5.0 block should be good for 1500 or more. It's cast iron, pretty much like the Cobra block only bigger & better.

Welcome!

Hmm as attractive as the Teskid is due to its strength/weight advantages, forgoing the sleeving process (and cost) in exchange for an additional 50lbs doesn't sound too bad.

Agreed there.
The extra 50 lbs is something 1 more psi can overcome :biggthump

Plus the 5.0 Blocks have come down to $950 from the original $1800 they were originally.

New tune, upgraded the CAI and picked up about 70 hp. 751 hp/617 tq on pump gas, 17 lb boost, street tune with 16 degrees timing. Keep in mind that's through an automatic, a 4R100.

I was thinking about upgrading cams but since I'm at the limits on fuel there's not much use in that now.

Great to be back at work. Takes away from play time, but now I can afford to play.
