That's for the Mark LT. After a lot of discussion we decided to keep the Whipple 140AX and try to get the max. HP/TQ.
Let's see what's gonna happen, maybe 750-800RWHP with C16.
Let's see...

Just curious, but why didn't you go with the 4V heads off the GT-40 or GT500? I understand that they are the same.

The guy who wrote this is considered one the best tuners in the country:

"Well, the 2V head is nice, the ported versions work well. They make great low end torque. The 4V head is nice, they flow like crazy, and they make great high end power.

The 3V head is literally in the middle. It makes great low end torque AND great high rpm power. Dealing with the new Mustangs, I've seen the performance and the potential of the 3V head, and it rocks. If I were doing a scratch built custom motor for a killer hp Lightning and money was no object, it would definitely be a 3V head."
