Heat soak must not be that bad since I am making the great numbers I am with the eaton still. My numbers are SAE also.

I'd rather have a roots vs no blower at all on a 4.6L, don't get me wrong. But a twin screw is a huge upgrade on even a ported eaton.

Would you look at that... It does... I wasn't able to open it on my phone.

Well then thats the weak link. Just buy new pistons and there you go... Fully forged engine for less than $500. Plus you can then lower the compression ratio for all those F/I lovers. Its a win win.

Youre going to see a low compression, twin-turbo version of the new 5.0 in the GT500...at least thats what Ive been hearing...
