thank you for the welcome...swap? nah... i like my v6. Although in the future i'm looking to redo a Boss 429, well may be not for another 10 years.

Yes i am putting 430 to the ground but actually a little dissapointed with that outcome.

I will actually change my sig for the mods and put the details in there but for now i have an intercooled Twin Turbo running conservatively at 10psi (although sometimes tend to creep up to 11), with some basic mods to my engine like split ports/dual exaust/heads/cam/8.8 gears/4.2L + all the other basic upgrades etc...

the reason why i have a lower number for the twin turbo is because of the tunning on this beast is actually quite bad. That is my only problem. I have been expecting around 450 with the setup i have now, but just a little shy from it.

Once i get my good tune i can boost the tt up to 14psi, and get some much better numbers, i will be getting a better tune this weekend so i will be posting much better numbers. But considering that i have a 97 v6, and coming to this point from a 150hp/223tq, has been quite the challenge.

i did with the help of a friend and another mechanic...

This weekend i will be going to a guy that i know who lives in NY, he is pretty good with tuning mustangs etc, hopefully i can return with the numbers that i expected before i started everything.
