oh ya i had it running. it started giving me some trouble so i parked it in the garage for year and now im playing with it again. i pulled all the turbo stuff out and went over everything with a fine tooth comb. besides many exhaust leaks i fond that 2 of my taylor wires died and my motor was only running on 6 cylinders. that would explain why it ran so poorly. this is the second set of taylor wires i have had take a dump on me and i will never buy another set from them again. its msd or nothing.

the block is the new ford racing boss block, forged internals stroked to 331, afr heads ported to about 212cc (i cant remember what the flow bench said its been a while), efi spyder intake and of course, custom twin turbo kit. the goal is to have a streetable car that when at full boost makes 600rwhp. of course for the street id probably turn the boost down to just 500rwhp. my stock motor made 461rwhp and that was when my car was my daily driver so im used to driving high hp on the street.

They'll hold up to low & mid boost fairly well if you retorque a couple times. High boost I wouldn't recommend them, but I have ran them up to 15psi on a 302 before.
