No. I made a thread on it..  They are unique and only usable or desired when converting a TC to 5.0 and keeping the TC hard lines.

Ok time to spill the beans.

These will be strapped to the side of this motor.



Attached to these...



Rebuilt stock short block with ARP Main bolts, ARP rod bolts and ARP head bolts..  GT40P heads and an Explorer intake.. All will be ported before being installed..  Twin IHI's at 10psi,  I'll be using 30lb injectors or 35's if I can find a 8.  They will do for 10psi..  I figure the IHI's will be capable of 15psi before they are done.. but 10 is the number for now..

A tweecer and an A9L will be controlling this.  Probably a 75mm maf as well..

The IHI's are just to get the car running under boost.. Later they will be replaced.

Car should be at 300hp N/A.. over 400hp boosted.  And thats conservative..
