Thank you man!
Your description of the SC characteristics was very informative, thank you.
I've always been on the fence on whine vs no whine, but that is an other story
.
How versatile is the Heartbeat, compared to you simply swapping the head unit, to any Vortech you ask? Good question.
Well, I do know that you can pulley down to 87mm with injectors, or a 78mm with injectors. I'm not sure, if you consider that a significant enough mod or not lol, but I think it is, if I understood your question correctly?
Platinumice runs the Heartbeat with the 78mm. He claims 690hp / 633 torque on 91AKI Street Tune, bolt-ons, GT-14 cam; OR, 749HP / 670 torque, VP109 Race Tune.
You, with the ESS kit, bolt-ons, cam, are 711/638 @ 10psi, on 93AKI, albeit you strongly believe you can squeeze out a bit more if you rev it higher.
Kiiiiiiind of comparable(I think?)?
I don't know the PSI level on his Heartbeat with the 78MM.
I also did not investigate thoroughly his actual trick mods, or yours for that matter, to see if one has an edge over the other ; ).
For all practical purposes, it seems that both are capable of exceeding 650wheel, as I mentioned in my opening post, I don't care for more than 650wheel, as I plan to keep Sledge's 1LE underpinnings stock.
