89 psi from a SN89 = bearing rebuild in no time. Especially in this heat. Barbra Bush says?: Just say no to bearing and internal belt drive blowers ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Must be nice to have the money to make those choices.

Start looking for a deal on a rebuild kit. I hear replacing the bearings isn't too hard to do yourself. They don't like heat at all. Bypassing the blower pully for long drives wouldn't be a bad idea. Back in the mid '90s my buddy had one ( http://mustangs.harmonic.org/9193/dg91.html )

Joe's flexible flier on a 150 shot = less boring than Jim's luxo-barge with a little blower ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Calm down, Sawson, I am well aware of the SN series shortcomings. An oil cooler and synthetic fluid should handle the heat issue. If not- I am not out much. And I am only aiming for 8psi MAX. So if it just hits it a 6k, I am OK w/ that.

You guys seem to forget my age...
It is a kick in the ass when you hit it. Til it runs out. But ALMOST anyone can slap on a small wet kit and get 100-150hp or so extra out of a V8 relatively safely. Why not run nitro? Or better yet, hydrazine? Better living thru dangerous chemistry.

Getting back to the orignal question:
I like the whole idea of a 347 with TFS heads and intake with a pretty radical cam and 10:1 compression. Oh and don't forget the 150 shot from a NX Wet plate kit, 3.73's, Tremec 3550, and slics.
