Well, I have (3) Turbo cars and (2) Blower cars and I did consider the TT set up but after finishing the stroker build with Thiteks and putting the 3.8 on it ive never been happier with how it performs so dont give up on the 3.8 yet. If mine breaks I'll fix it period. Performs better than any of my Turbo cars by a LONG shot.....
TT's are simply not a better option for someone driving it on the street. At the track who cares I can build boost all day long but not on the street. Thing is just violent. Remember the Turbo's will require a 3800+ stall to make any power. Thats lame AF on the street.
Thats what I have in my Turbo Mustang but it weighs 3400 lbs so hardly apples to apples but its still somewhat slow to spool. My Trackhawk would absolutely crush my Mustang on the street unless I was able to build some boost.
I break all 4 tires lose with my Trackhawk at low speeds so make sure u switch to a 15 inch rim with a MT Pro Radial tire. A 17 inch rim with a Street R will NOT cut it. Ull be a skating pond going down the hiway with all that power ur now making and it will be sketchy AF and put u in the woods.
Ull make 1400 whp on pump E85. It was (E68) for me. 3.2 Pulley and u need the tensioner or it will slip at 6k rpm's at 23 lbs of boost. I couldnt get past 6k rpms without belt slip. Still made 1280 whp tho lol before I put the tenioner on and picked up another 120 whp. John Moored tuned it. He is the MAN!!!!!
And remember ur about 600-900 lbs lighter than I am so keep that in mind when considering a TIRE cause ull melt them without the Pro Radial. My Turbo Mustang on pump 93 octane makes 1100 whp / 900 ft lbs of TQ. I was lighting up those Street R's up like they were stock radial tires off a Prius smfh. Once I switched to the Pro Radial it was like I slapped Velcro onto the tires! They work THAT much better!
Ull also need a bigger hood that 3.8 wont fit under the stock hood with that giant intercoller. Atleast 2150 injectors. Cant run 93 octane any longer is case u were wondering it will be married to E85 now. I would probably opt for the ID2600's tho. I think when the next Whipple comes out them 2150's will be taped out but maybe not.....
It hits so freaking hard bro ull shit urself the TQ these things put out its really freaking wild! Right on par with Turbo's actually. Its literally like a freaking light switch! Turbo's just dont do that......
Would be nice to have other options for sure!! In the process of having a 426 built with Thitek heads and still at a crossroads on which way to go for the power adder. Already have an SHR trans with Demon convertor, so would really like for whipple to get their shit figured out, the 3.8's are making some big power and backing it up at the track!!
But not a lot of fun having to send the charger back into whipple all the time either.
