My year long build
So it has been some time since I been on hear. 1 do to working a lot of hours and 2 was the build that I did on my Race car. It was a extensive build I upgraded everything except the rear. I built that a few years ago.
My old engine setup was a 347 with 66mm Hp turbo kit, Trickflow twisted wedge heads, Trickflow stage 1 cam, Edlebrock RPM II intake. 60lbs injectors. The 347 had a Scat cast crank with H beam rods and Trickflow fordge pistons. @ 19 psi the car put down 580 rwhp and 540 torque. It ran 9.39 @147.
Well I knew I was going to do a new build and started buying stuff. I bought a Scat Forged 347 crank, Precision PT-88 MM turbo. I had pulled my motor out and brought it to the engine guy. Well once they took it apart they found some damage inside the motor. Some of the cylinder walls were scored. So now the motor needed machine work. Bored the block out to .060 Making the motor a 352. I took the trickflow heads and had complete port and valve job done to them. I also ordered a custom cam and lifters for this setup. I also added 96lbs injectors, Trickflow Box intake. A DFI gen 7 standalone system. Solid motor mounts. A solid aluminum transmission cross member. I had the transmission out and freshened up.
Once all was said and done and we tuned the car and puched as much PSI as we could get into it. With C-16 and 10:1 compression and 27 psi out of the 88mm the car laid down 925 rwhp and 825 ftlbs of torque. I took the car to the track and turned the boost all the way down which is 15 psi. Made 3 test passes and the best was a 8.66 @157. I can't wait to turn it up to 27 psi and see what it will really run.
This car has had such a transformation in the past year

To this. I just got to get the hood painted this year.
