Project: Swapping 94 Gt drivetrain to 1999 V6 Vert chassis

It's all good now, I had to buy a MAFia and install it right on the dyno. As far as a restriction trust me it's not. I made 12 psi with the stock 3.33 pulley and 6.87" crank pulley so I'd say my homemade power pipe and the MAF are flowing well. The tuner said I have plenty of room to grow with the MAFia on there since it's only set to "2". The bullet did run out of steam about about 4500 rpm and around 8 psi. The first full pull showed the A/F shoot up to 14:1 as he shut it down.

The car really is a blast to drive thought and he said I could pretty much beat the crap out of it without incident because it's a very conservative tune with timing locked at only 18* total.

The bullet came with the kit I bought used. At 12 psi I don't think I'm losing any boost by running it. A MAFia is a little box you put between the wiring harness and the MAF to extend it's range. In my case, the tuner didn't have a better meter laying around and the only way to salvage the tuning session was to install the MAFia. And it worked. The next run he took the car up to 5800 rpm with 12psi of boost and the AFR didn't budge above 10:1. It was nice and fat and gave him something to work with!

He said that my combo is sound now and the only reason it's not making more power is because he's got my timing locked at 18*. He said pushrod motors love timing and he'll bump it up to 21* total when I get my ACT sensor in the proper place. With the sensor before the blower and in the fender it's going to read whatever the outside air temp is instead of what the motor is really seeing, which is 200* air coming out of that blower! If the computer only sees cool intake temps from the fenderwell it won't pull timing to prevent detonation resulting in broken stuff!

So I called Vortech to ask them about upgrading my SQ into a T trim and they told me they can only upgrade "heavy duty" units to the T trim.. I've never heard of anyone mentioning this fact and even on their site: http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/support.php?support_section=Services they say that you can upgrade a "standard duty" unit to T trim level. He told me it's a typo. Anyone else upgrade theirs?

So I put on a smaller pulley and moved my ACT sensor to the correct place in the discharge tube and only picked up a few hp/tq. It is now up to 370 hp/ 400 tq to the tires at 15 psi! Timing was being pulled down to like 13-15 degrees due to the 200* plus ACT's. He said I now have enough boost to split the block in half but I need to cool it down. So when money allows I'll put a meth kit on and go have it retuned. At that point I should be seeing 425-450 rwhp. As it stands right now thought it's really fun to drive. The boost comes on much sooner with the smaller pulley.

In other news I was presented with a very tempting offer today. I was offered to trade my car for a 98 Cobra with 90k miles in mint condition. I thought long and hard but after coming back to this thread and reading back through myself I decided to keep my car. Sure the Cobra will probably retain it's value better than this car, but this car here has more value to ME and I suppose that's just as important. Besides, this 5.0 with the blower is a BEAST and I'm sure it'd hand a stock 98 Cobra it's ass in short order!!
