Well good luck in kuwait. I guess if you have to go over there kuwait would be one of the safest places these days. See if you can get on the forums from kuwait and let us know how it is. You should bring your 700HP Mustang over there and show'm how it's done. J/K

Good info BC. that's interesting to hear that MM&FF lost that much HP just by switching the cam. If I do do it which will not be untill I get some money. I'm broke at the moment but if I go that rought I would get alot of advice from an engine builder and my tuner. If I dropped in a new short block I would deffinetely try to come up with the cash for the heads, cams, and intake manifold though not to mention trans and converter and so on. Where are you being deployed to? Can't you pick up where you left off when you get back?

it depends on your engine. my new motor displaces 283 cubes, and with my ported pi heads and a custom cam, i was going to be making over 700 rwhp on about 18-20 psi. I'm deploying before the car can be finished, so i'll be selling the motor. too bad, i wanted to do it.!! maybe when i get back. on a stock pi motor, 10 psi with bolt ons and a tune is good for 400 rwhp. with my heads, a 281 4.6 would make about 450-475 hp, and with 15 psi about 600. there's a guy (his car was in (MM&FF recently, silver GT) that made 663 rwhp with a T trim on 302 stroker. it all comes down to your setup. MM&FF built a 655 hp votech engine with comp 270's, and when they put pi cams back in it it lost 105 hp.
i could go on forever with variables and examples, but you get the idea. do you have a specific application in mind?

BCisme how much are you looking to get for the motor? Second are you going to Arifjan or Doha in Kuwait?

i'll be based out of arifjan. no gurantee i wont move around a little though.
i'll be looking to get 4 grand for the short block, and 600 for the cam, (steen racing custom specs). i'm trying to get a little more info on the block specs from my engine builder, and see if i have any room to come down on that price.

I spent 2 months there prior to the start of the war. Spent the rest of the time touring Iraq. I was a combat engineer with the 3rd ID.

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows how much boost is needed to achive 500, 600 HP. I know my stock bottom end wont take that much but I'm just interested. If I do it I will drop in a forged bottom end. I run the 3.33 making 10-11lbs pulley with aftercooler and make 400HP. What size pulley would be needed to make the reqired boost for 500 and 600 HP.
