Any updates on this?

i have seen atleast a handful of NPI shortblocks with pi H/C/I and auto do close to 300whp, why the low numbers is compression dropped for forced induction? and this is stroked to 5.0.
sorry, just trying to gain some 2v knowledge!

That's how I thought, too. Yes, we did degree the cams. Bought all the right stuff to do it.
Actually, I haven't pulled the CAI off to check, but I'm wondering if the throttle blades are fully opening.
If you have ideas, I would certainly welcome them.
Do you think the automatic would affect it that much? A recent article I read stated that the auto pulls about 50-60 HP out. Take a look at this:
From the outset, Lutton told us the engine was capable of making similar power to the '03-'04 Cobra Terminator. Armed with that information, those cars regularly put down 340 rwhp on the Radical Racing dyno in bone-stock trim. Why didn't Silver Stealth Stang achieve that mark? The answer lies in the slushbox Ford nicknamed the 4R70W. Using the popular 15-percent conversion from stick to auto, our calculator showed a Terminator engine should make 289 rwhp if backed by an auto. The engine barely has 150 miles on the odometer, so we think once it's broken in, the power will rise about another 5-10 rwhp, bringing it inline with our estimate. Editor Smitty told us that he has personally compared the auto and stick transmission in a back-to-back test with an old project car. He saw a loss of 50-60 rwhp, which backs up our guesstimate. http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/projectcars/mmfp_0907_modular_mustang_racing_stroker_engine_build_part_2/index.html
Make me want to heat up the plastic and swap to a Tremec 600 (the one in my 2008 Bullitt is extremely smooth) ASAP.
But in the afore mentioned article, they are doing better than me with stock manifold.
Thanks for taking time to comment.
Jim
