    I guess the nose pulley may make the difference here isn't it ?

    What is blowing my mind here is that the M-90 is bigger,wonder if mods are needed on the hood to fit the manifold.

    Then which nose pulley is best suitable to avoid any damaged to the trans when that is spinning at 80 + miles per hour pushing that extra horses load.

    I'll settle with the M-62 though just for insurance
    Dakar was just the begining.

    M90 is bigger DISPLACEMENT, not actually physically bigger than the M62.
    Torque and hp are a product of the boost, which is controlled by the pulley size. We will be sizing the pulley to boost 5 psi, which is mild.
    Doesn't get any cheaper than this:

    M62 WILL NOT fit the manifold we are going to make!
