What is the issue with the TCI part? Do you have a preferance?
I was thinking that 450 HP or a bit more and ideally under 6,000 rpm would not be an unrealistic number. Does that seem reasonable?
My engine builder is great at building bottom ends that are capable of taking a lot of abuse, but he is not up to speed on the latest and greatest that is available on EFI turbo engines.
The engine builder in Edmonton that expressed an interest in taking on the whole project just fell off the face of the earth. Stopped returning my emails/ phone calls. Too bad really, they have a lot of experience in getting stupid power from V6 EFI turbo engines.
16 psi on a 250 inch engine under ideal conditions should be well within that 450 HP number. I am 3000 feet above sea level so that is something to consider. I also drive all over the continent so that makes EFI a necessary ingredient in my books.
I am having a very difficult time finding one business that is willing to solve all of these issues. I have a basic understanding of the whole process but not enough to direct this build.
I know that there is at least one or ten people on this site that are willing to share their experiences with green horns like moi, so I really do appreciate everyones 10 cents worth.
Thanx for your reply,
Cheers,
Paul
