Hehe...see that big black thing on the rear side of the engine? That is an intercooler from an 86 Thunderbird.

I am planning on running as much boost as it will possibly handle. I plan on running race fuel and injecting water in the near future. At first I will start pulling with the factory wastegate setting of 7-8psi. The compressor will comfortably run 30psi up to 3000 RPM on this engine. If I can make it hold together at that level, I will do it. That will put the engine around 275HP and 500lb/ft of torque. However, I have to get frame connectors and a scatter blanket before I start thinking about trying that RPM level. I dont want the flywheel to saw me or someone else in half if it decided to come loose or explode.

It is most likely that I will hold RPM to around 2500 and just concentrate on getting boost up to the high 20's or 30psi as the ultimate goal.

Someone mentioned RPM level, and I have that under control. I have a Mallory 3RLI ignition box going on the tractor, and it has a two stage rev limit setup. I am hoping to use the first to build boost before dropping the clutch and switch to a higher limit while pulling. I have to rig up a switch mechanism on the clutch or throttle to make that work. It will be later on after the bugs are worked out, of course.
