I don't know Fords, but it looks to me like the block would have to be tapped for those.

You guys are planing to build to much power, its almost overkill. 650hp with about the same weight your mid 9s. And any one really drive something that light with that power? Boost is nasty, when it hits, you better grab on to your nuts and keep your eyes down track. I think traction is going to be your main issuse. Anyone ever throw out the idea of a 11:1 set up with some spray?

Engines never put down as much power as you expect them to, why hold back? We can always limit the boost with a smaller pulley or by adjusting the wastegates if traction is an issue.
Don't know if I've used this example before, but when I hear about guys who want to limit hp, it reminds me of guys who ask for body building advice and start off with "I don't want to get too big." :sm_laughing: Don't worry bro, ain't gonna happen overnight! Don't hold back, we'll have enough unforseen issues limiting hp anyhow.
