Let me know if you want to sell your XE282. I have a buddy doing a real budget build that could use it

I'd like to reuse it in the 306 domed piston short block that used to be in my 85 before the stroker install, I'd like to find a 89-93 gt vert 5 spd mass air car to install it in but all that hinges on selling my 66 and 92, some one is looking into buying my 66 so by mon or tuesday I'll know if my future plans will hold up

Would you say it runs better than a tfs1?

Do i really need to back off to 100hp? i thought these internals were strong enough to handle it?

Yes, it's better suited to your heads and Nitrous. 5.0 stock internals are overated.

not to contradict what you are sayin but ive seen more than a handful of people spray stock bottom ends 100+ shot. i think quarterhorse has a 150 hit on his fox right now runnin 11.30's.

not sayin its a good idea but oem pistons are fine with the nitrous. i bet the c-rod bolts will stretch long before the pistons let go if its tunes right.

I'm still not sure how to tune everything when it's all said and done... do i just put some 24# injectors and a 255lph fuel pump in and take it to someone and get it dyno tuned as is? Or do i need to buy a new computer, fpr, etc?

Woops! yeah I forgot you had a SD Car.

I'd def convert to maf, But I think the deal with SD is you CAN have a chip burned for it to make it run right with your mods. But it'll run like total **** until you do. Then if you ever change anything, you'll have to have another chip burned for it......

I think anyway, don't fully understand how SD works.....
