I was wondering what people are getting out of their older 2v v10. I havent been on the forum in a long time and cant find the old numbers. I was also wondering what is the max power a stock bottom end can hold up to and what a built bottom end can hold up to.
if your thinking of adding a super charger. you can forget it, both whipple and kennybell have dropped production of the 2v kits and any further protyping of the 3 valve models. i personally think this is due to ford and emmission specs making the furture of the v10 very doubtfull for now at least.
as to how much it can handle that is any ones guess and very limited by the crank shaft off set on the rod throws reducing the size of the metal at that point.
i already have a supercharger and want to know how much power i can go with and still be able to drive around emmissions are not a problem where i live
Power is generally not the issue. Knock is the issue. Do basic supporting modifications like opening up your exhaust (add headers), remove any restrictions in the intake, lower your thermostat temp, install colder plugs, etc. It all adds up.
I personally think one of the stupidest things you could do is just bolt on a supercharger kit with a pressure riser and call it a day. I'm not sure how the big name companies found this to be a suitable solution.

IMHO...just stick with the SC manufacture recommendations...and you will be fine. Which is in the range of 4-6psi...
yeah i was just wondering what people were getting for numbers. i have installed a 160 thermostat, headers, exhaust, intercooler, snow performance water meth, and had a program made for it. im at about 10psi at max rpm making 373hp and 451ft lb. this is with a paxton sc
Thats awesome... how is your MPG when you're off the gas? I've come to realize that even with babying the truck I hardly break 13, and while driving spiritdly I get low 12s.

There are only a few people with blowers, and I'm not sure even one has a dyno graph.
They don't usually hang around here much, and visit from time to time.
Bump the thread every few days, and you have a chance of getting noticed
When (if) I ever decide to go with a blower, I'm probably going to prototype it on the existing motor, while building another upgraded V10 in the garage and just grenade the existing motor on purpose to see what breaks.
That's the only way I'll know what it can take.
Remember, there is a known issue on very high-boost supercharger setups breaking the off nose of the crank on the V10. There is a bearing support setup for the nose that someone engineered, and it might even be available as an orderable part (with a lot of lead time).
