I don't think there was an intended connecton to Rod's engine?

The way he starts his post sarcastically , then finishes it with 'lol' makes me assume its blatantly a tongue in cheek reply?

i think what he meant is the turbo shown looks like its on a v8 mustang not a 2.2 4pot cosworth so ofcourse lag wouldnt be as much of an issue.

if it was sarcasm then i retract my statement in full

Maybe going for a half fill to help the block live?

The general opinion seems to be you can fill to the bottom of the waterpump and it be fine on road and track as long as you run a massive oil cooler to compensate.

I would guess that theyre planning on running a 200 block and not a turkish delight this time around if my memory serves me correct.

We ran a 200 nitrous shot on top of about 680horses for 9K miles with no problems on a 200 block that had done a very high mileage indeed .
The new Block is improved in several ways to aid cooling so it should be OK, other Tuners run 850+ on a similar 200 block.
Both the Turkish blocks failed short of 750horses after only a few miles.
It still may fail but we wont know until we try.
