ok so i think i have everything i need to put my car back together. just making sure im not leaving anything out so feel free to say something heres what i have:

Kenne bell 2.1 intercooled
14 psi pulley (2.5)
port and polished heads
vt stage 2 blower cams
comp beehive springs
forged cobra crank
16cc forged manley pistons
je forged rods
hooker longtubes
o/r x pipe
bassani exhaust
spec 3 clutch
egr delete
cobra tank
dual ford gt pumps
60# injectors
mgw shifter

and thats all that i can think of, does it look like i have everything i need and is this a good setup? im hopeing to get close to 600hp

 

anyone?? just wanting to know if this will make 600 and if its a good setup or not so i know if i need to change anything before it goes in.

 

I'm not sure the 2.1 Will have enough steam to run to 600rwhp on a pump gass set up before it succumbs to heat, not to mention, your list is sort of confusing. You have two different pistons listed, JE or Mahle or Manley? which is it?

What's the final SCR supposed to be?

 

sorry meant rods, changed it. and i think the compression will be 9:1

 

I think your limit is going to be right at around 500-550(maybe)rwhp, on pump gas. Who knows, maybe on 100 octane or more, you might be able to pull it off, but I don't think so.

You have to understand, running a KB your going to experience Heat soak like nothing else, with IAT's in the 180+ range. Under boost, mine are around 75-80* when it's 100* outside. Your going to have a hard time overcoming that, especially since I see zero mention of any cooling mod like a decent heat exchanger or a bigger resoivoir, or hell, you could even go with a meth injection system, My buddy running a 600rwhp cobra is using meth to combat the high intake temps, and even then, he isn't anywhere near as cool of an intake charge as I am.

I think both the small size, which will create a problem with heat, and the Mahle pistons are going to limit you. I was told that Mahle pistons (by myslow2002gt) really shouldn't be used in applications with pressure above 15PSI.

 

don't get me wrong, set up at around 480rwhp I think that set up would be pretty damn nasty, and I would imagine if you have nothing done to your transmission that 480 would be more than enough to start breaking things. Just make sure your tune is spot on.

 

yeah i figured heat soaking would be a problem, but thats ok if its around 500 that should still be more than enough for the street. and about the mahle pistons you say it should be used for anything above 15psi. im using the 14psi pulley but will prolly only be making like 12 or 13 do to the headers and cams. will these pistons still be a problem?

 

ok my fault again they are manley pistons not mahle

 

if they are really manley, are they 15cc or 17cc dish? mahle offers 16cc, but manley doesn't, then you should be fine.

 

What MAF are you running?
