Trackspeed Stage 2 VVT shortblock, EFR6758, E85, 452whp/427wtq@26psi. I'm scared.

They were from Summit, I believe they're from Russell. Just a -6 male to fuel injection. The problem is that the stack height is too tall once you add a Dorman adapter, so I went to -6 unions and Vaporguard hose ends.

Having driven mine at 30psi boost.. i think i know exactly how you felt when trying this for the first time Its insane!
The midrange at 2 bar boost is something else and makes the car almost undriveable. Mine made 430ish whp at 1.6 bar boost and 460nm at the hubs. at 2 bar i have never dynoed it.. but a lot more
congrats with the power it really is addictive.. boost pr TPS and gear is your friend and will make it easy to drive.

Thanks I have been cruising it around at 220kpa on pump gas the last week or two, and I just turned it down to 210kpa. Having experienced the crazy power, it's fun to go back to a car that's a little more playful. Even at 220kpa it relies on the Racelogic TCS in 2nd gear a little too much. I am eagerly looking forward to someday being able to use boost by gear and boost by TPS at the same time - that will make a huge difference in the driveability on E85.
I may do some slicks, I may not. Still on the fence about that. The goal would be to go 10.99 but I'm still not convinced the car will do it with the existing suspension setup, and I'd rather not break a bunch of parts trying to get there. I could also do a voltage booster and ID1300s and break the 500whp mark. Or I could, you know, finish the damn intercooler kit before tackling those projects. Not enough hours in the day.

I also generally run around 210-220 kPa with my set-up. Even without boost-by-TPS (but with the longer Quaife gearing) it's a pussycat to drive (but still fast as #^@!). One day I'll set up boost-by-gear but there hasn't been any particular impetus to do so. I've often wondered how my car would feel with your EFR system - would the earlier boost onset make the car even more fun or just less drivable.

why make so much power and then turn it down? pussies :P i like the challenge of driving this car, and with a decent set up boost control there really is no point in reducing the power. 400+ is fully streetable and tame, just dont go full throttle out of corners on cold tires in 4th gear expecting it to stay in line

T5s were common in Ford Mustangs from the mid 80s to the early 2000s. That particular project has been shelved for now. Look at KMiata's BMW 5sp and 6sp setups for a good, available alternative.
