Forced Induction Goodies...

[usaf_branham]

So, I've got the $ and have come up with my parts list. I'm getting a beefcake special Procharger H.O. Kit with D1SC (helical gears), stage 2 intercooler, big red race BOV, VMP plug & play BAP, ID1000 injectors, and Lund tune. I'm also getting STEEDA progressive rate sport springs, STEEDA jacking rails, DSS half-shafts, and an ecoboost boost gauge setup.

I was on the fence between the Paxton kit and the Procharger... I decided that it was worth the extra coin to not chop on my new car... The Procharger is a cleaner looking install imho.

I've gotta wait a couple of weeks to actually place the orders, but it's going to happen! I'll have a busy couple of days when I finally get back to the states. It should be fun!

Any guesses as to what it might make to the wheels? The car already has LT's (catted) with full 3 in exhaust (factory connect delete) Magnaflow competition cat-back.

How much boost?

 

[Three50won]

I would guess that on the stage 2 kit with 8-10 psi boost and with the headers and exhaust you should be good for just over 600 to the wheels.

It's the H.O. Kit with a D1SC and Stage 2 intercooler. I've read the added pulley for the stage 2 may not be good for the oil pump gears. I'll be running the stock pulley. I heard that's good for 10 or more psi.

Talked to a guy the other day and he said he had the upgraded Procharger kit on 13 psi and was making over 600.

I don't think the stock pulley is going to net you 10lbs probably closer to 7. I'm running a novi 2200 with a 3.8" pulley I think making 6-7 lbs putting down 580+ RWHP and 500+ Ft Lbs I have a catback exhaust and stock intake though.

 

[usaf_branham]

Terry asked me what psi I wanted and I told him 11 psi at 7500rpm. I guess I'll figure it out when I finally get home and install it... If it comes out low, I'll pulley it later when I wastegate it.

Nice! I wish I was making more boost...

Heck yeah!!! Have you done the injectors yet?

 

[usaf_branham]

Yeah. It's 98% done. All I have left to do is swap the plugs and install the boost-a-pump.

Exciting! You are going to love that first start up.

I already loaded the Lund start up tune and started it / moved it to clean everything up in the garage. She's got some whistle to her.

The race valve is pretty awesome too.

Lol the race valve is ridiculous. I just recently swapped mine out with the standard one. NOBODY ever wanted to run the car. They just sound mean. It's a little bit sleepier now.

 

[usaf_branham]

The only down side to all of this is that I am sore as hell. Between the springs and the blower, I have been at it non-stop the last three days.

Nice! Time to get this thing tuned and shred some tires

I'm working with Lund. Tuning in progress.... It's killing me! I want to drive it.

Wait for the email that says turn off all traction control, hold 2000 RPM in 2nd gear then put the pedal to the floor Lift at 6500 RPM.... That was such an amazing day for me! I received that email at work. I snuck out of the office and was ripping down the road to grab my next log file LOL.

Running into tune issues. Ugh. The start up tune idles and runs fine. The revisions won't idle for some reason. I'm pulling good vacuum and didn't find any air leaks, but the AFR is lean as hell at idle in the revisions. I sent the data log to Lund. Hopefully he can get this figured out quick! I've gotta drive to Vegas in a week.
