Very nice, that's a great idea. BBR makes an adapter to mount a gt500 tb on a 3v mustang gt intake. I talked to Comp and they recommended their spr stage 2 blower cams.

The kid should have welded some or all of tht inlet up today. Gosh am excited lol.

Well looks like I've bought that GT500 Whipple Monoblade as well.

Probably make my own adaptor as I've found some 1/2 and 3/4 plate.

Next job is to figure out have to transfer the PCV boss to the modified inlet.

Not sure on what Cams. Defo Valve springs but not sure about Phaser locks.

The Mustang 3V boys seem happy with the Phaser limiter kits.

I can use the blank plates from the V10 but cannot find it in the snow lol (4 weeks with a 992K and still cannot find it)

If I send te heads to JDM's then I might just run a VSR cam.

Pretty much the real deal.

The builder said it will provide 800HP all day, every day. He even mentioned 1000HP no worries.

Because of the rings it hardly needs any run in.

Yeah, I've heard of those rods being good up to 1000hp. Are you gonna run a dedicated drive on the blower? I saw a Steeda 10-rib kit for the 3v 5.4's, but when I called Steeda they said they didnt make one. Here's the link.

Yeah with ARP2000 bolts they hold up.

Am gonna buy a snout, 8 rib pulley and use the Roush FEAD system. The system in the VID looks and sounds mega cool. The six rib 5.4 3v system works but just not for me.

Pretty much gonna have a lightning set up when am done.

Inlet should be done very soon, gonna need more work to fit the GT500 Mono blade.

Aren't you running a Whipple? Will that kit work with a Whipple blower?

You can run the 8 rib seperate belt no worries with the right snout / pulley combo.

Thanks Jason. It's about time you planned something like this?

Coils & Plugs are a PITA anyway ha ha.

Am not planning on swapping rails and coils every other week.

The TB has been delayed FFS.
