But I will humour you when the mustang is refitted again, it's in pieces right now, the dyno would be kinda hard to do with the front end off of it, and I need to find a chassis dyno that'll handle the power, not alot of tuner's I've found will take the risk for when my bad little girl jumps to power, they're kinda hellashish, I've seen my car break straps off before while on dyno for the Turbo kit.



You were giving us pretty exact numbers, did you just come up with it in your head?

347's 1,643hp
I assume you came about those numbers from a dyno...

You CAN NOT lower compression without either completely changing the housings or casting new rotors- period. .

well you could lower the compression by grinding out the bath tub some....

^I haven't personally messed around with an RX8 rotor, but I'm not sure there is enough material that can be removed to reduce the compression significantly without causing other issues.

Also, a 20B swap was earlier mentioned as a more realistic way of achieving his goal, but engine swaps are apparently out of the question (unless it's a 20X :rolleyes:). I can see not wanting to swap a piston engine into the thing, but come on.

LOL well that was the turbo kit which I tuned myself and ran a dyno out of a shop I didn't record with.

I don't have the graph either, but it blips up hard around 2.2k rpms and doesn't stop pulling til it's redline at 7.5 and some change.

The block that ran that setup is dead now though, and my new block is still on backorder until I decide on a new intake manifold\cam to support my Forced Induction selection the most, I may return to a Turbo with a 429 EFI 351 based block, but that throw's out my current selection of heads, so I'm still toying with it while I payoff the RX and ZO6...
