I was thinking that an E force supercharger would be a better and maybe less expensive mod to achieve the torque/HP goal. I know for peak efficiency, the E Force would need headers and maybe some other improvements as well. I am going to seriously consider super charging.

I've seen and know others with the Pro-Charger and they absolutely love them
The difference in price between the Pro-Charger and the E-Force is minimal.
So I decided to go with the option that I can upgrade for another $1,000 if need be after running E-85 to where as hp/tq numbers are concerned.. The sky would be the limit at that point.

Headers wouldn't be a bad idea, honestly I think it'll be worth it. When it's done I'll give Hennessey a run for their money as far as top speed goes.

Small Update:

The block was finally bored out this week and decked, bottom end has been ordered.
So hopefully that means more pictures to come soon, then a tune for the numbers!

i know I am behind... but I ended up using ARP headstuds since everyone was out of stock, and I'm glad I did.

That's the issue I'm going to have shortly.

Until someone makes a fuel pump that'll push E85 we're stuck with pump gas and meth injection (someone correct me if I'm wrong please)

That or I can deal with the headache of doing a 100 Octane tune and only being able to go to 4 different gas stations in town for it

Decisions... decisions..

I am running LT4 HPFP and injectors. My LPFP is being installed tonight (hopefully) from Cordes Performance. I'm running e85 full time, really trying to avoid meth.

What difference did you see with the LT4 injectors?

Because after talking with the shop today, I ended up ordering the LT4 fuel pump and decided we're going to tune it on pump gas at first, then do a tune with 110 octane (have it on the pump out here) and push the limits of the build after I enjoy it for a few thousand miles.

Why are you trying to avoid Meth?

$100 an hour is shop time.
And depending on the Supercharger is how long it'll take.

Jut don't listed to a manufacturers install time on any of them... They generally have a team of 3-5 people installing these in their advertised times. (from my understanding)

The lower end has finally been built and being balanced by Callies at the moment.. Getting closer and closer and I'm getting a little more inpatient!
I suppose I can always order more parts from BMR

I ended up adding a Alky Control system to it... That went in last week.
Im still near the max of the LT4 injectors on e85... but it's safe.

I probably need to pick your brain... I am thinking about forging it now instead of after I break it...
