So whats up with the Pro-M maf? Did you buy a 3" blowthrough meter? That meter can be calibrated to 60# its what I use on that turbo car I just finished, had the best curve I have ever seen out of the box....

I was told i could use the electronics from the PRO-M i bought,and i'm putting them in the flange i bought from a guy on corral.Then i'll weld the flange to the pipe comming from the IC to the TB.The PRO-M i bought isnt a blow threw itself,but from what i unnderstand once i put it in the pipe it will work?It's already calibrated for 60#'s.I'm hopefully buying the injectors this weekend!Then i need the header wrap and plugs.peace

can you post up some close up pics of the alternator bracket so I can see how you did it?
Click to expand...

Yes i can if needed?But i can describe to you.The bolts that went to the water pump werent opened enough for the bolt head to go threw,so i opened them up and recounter sunk them.Then i just bought a bolt to run threw the hole to the alt and bolted it that way,instead of running it to the head like it was suppose to.Like i said though it looks to be kock eyed so it might not work cause the belt might get thrown off?If so i will pull it all off AGAIN and open the hole up bigger where it bolts to the alt and the head and then bolt it on.But yes after i get my daughter from volley ball practice i'll post'em.peace

You run a AFR head right normally run Autolite 3924's? Try some NGK7173 commonly referred to as #8's, perfect heat range for a boosted car.

Got a little more done today,wrapped the DP by myself what a bitch!Also made a new bracket and got the alternator mounted on the driverside and also got a new belt.All i need to do now with it is pull the nose again and route the wireing to that side.My couplers,injectors,and wideband will be here this week, so all that will be installed plus hopefully the supporting things as the week goes on.Heres pics from today. peace

Hate to bust your bubble but that will not cool very well, you need a lot more wrap on the water pump pulley to use a reverse rotation pump. You could fab up a small bracket off the waterpump and add a small idler pulley to get more wrap.

That's what they have it set-up for is a reverse pump. So I'm sure it works.....at least I hope so. I was thinking of the Moroso kit but it mounts too low and I'd have to use a standard pump AND a grooved pulley. I think I'll do exactly like John has if it works for him.
