Request for Head Unit Advice
I'm going to be going the centrifugal route. My goal is 800 rwhp / 850 rwtq. Ideally, I would like to make approximately 500/550 by 3K then have a small curve to 800/850 by 7K. The set-up will be on a large cube engine. I guess the relevant components of my current set-up is:
C5R block 4.125 bore
4.100 stroke
6.2 Rods
11:1 compression
AFR 225's
Fast 90/LS2 TB
Kooks 1 7/8
Mild Cam
Rodney Level V
Rodney Diff
Coil Overs / Wilwoods
Exedy Dual Disk
I'll be lowering the compression to 9.5:1 by swapping the pistons. Given a lot of thought to England Green's Whiplash cam. In most likelihood I'll be utilizing an ECS bracket, fuel system, meth, etc. but installing a much larger heat exchanger (something that will fill the entire tiger shark front) along with some other ideas I've been playing around with. I'll be fabricating a cogged system or running an ECS 10-rib if my experiment fails. Not entirely sure how much I'll fabricate vs. how much I will simply order. I won't know unless I try...
I've given consideration to the YSI, F1R and Novi. All three seem more than capable of making power but is there an advantage or disadvantage to utilizing a specific head unit for what I'm wanting? Thanks for your help and suggestions.
