My bro in law is looking for more power and gave me the job to find him a sweet setup. He would like 425 safe rwhp on the stock engine. He already decided he would go with a centrifugal. Is that kind of numbers possible/safe on a non intercooled Vortech setup ? We are currently leaning toward the D-1SC because it's cheaper than the Vortech, comes intercooled, and doesn't have the problems associated with the P-1.
His biggest concern is blowing up the engine. He would really like to install the blower and be done with it, so the powertrain reliability is a big concern. I realize anything can happen and told him there is absolutely no guarantee when installing a blower. I know the tune is the most important thing so we already planned a 3 hour trip to Montreal to get the car tuned by pros. Maybe I should try to convince him to aim for more and to start saving up for a rebuild. :D What do you guys think ? :shrug:
What do you guys recommend as far as fuel system goes ? I know most people go with the 03 Cobra tank, fuel pumps and a KB Boost-A-Pump. That should do it, don't you think ?
Thanks a lot for your input guys, it is appreciated :cheers:
