I'm gonna try to get her to 450 to 470 on the current setup. Just worried about the pump. The engine it's self willl be capable of mid to low 6s but my Achilles heel will be the pump. I currently have a 255 walbro pump with a 40 amp BAP so I should be able to reach my goal (if all goes well) . Hopefully the high flow fuel rails and 55 lb injectors will help out.

yea youd need a 3.0 upper and 18% od crank to pull 600s, but beside the fuel issue, im wondering if your running water meth? Cuz if i read right you have 11cc dish? Isnt that a higher than factory compression ratio? Do they have notches for bigger cams in the future? We have some similar stuff going. Heads factory? By the way what is your tial? is it the 50mm BOV? If so its same as i have, curious where you hooked it up for vacuum, cuz first place i hooked it up it fluttered(not good enough vacuum) sounded cool as hell but when i gave it a good strong signal all the flutter went away.

Thanks guys. You all know what I've been through with this car. Took me a long time and a lot money to finally realize that some things you can't take short cuts on and the cheapest installer may not be the best. Also Lizzy I forgot to mention you to as a person that has given me a lot of good advice and it is much appreciate. I'm gonna call today and make a tentative dyno date for 20 Dec. I'm going to check on the car next Wed so I'll keep you guys posted.
Couple questions. How much work or fabrication is needed to be done to make the cobra fuel tank work on my car. Are there any other alternatives? Is there a fuel pump out there for the New Edges that can be installed in my current tank that can handle over 550 rwhp?

everything cobra is a direct swap, the cars are the same, only the parts are different...pretty much. Anyway dont do a gt tank with the dual hat like i did, thats what cost me the motor. Its not so much that you cant i guess, but i had a 1/4 tank and no baffling power shifted 3rd sloshed fuel away from the pumps had one go round of lean, hard miss car fell flat on its face...ran fine for about 10 miles, then piston cam into contact with the crank. Long story short i starved the motor for a split second bent a rod. said rod is now sitting on kitchen table pissing my wife off...lol Anyway minimum i would have baffling welded into current tank, or never run below a 1/2 to be safe, cuz i broke the car with 360rwhp. only issue with keeping it above half....well you probably wont be able to pass a gas station if you have any fun driving it. lol
