Ok guys heres ther deal. Im getting my vortech v2 sq installed in the spring. I want to make around 380 to the wheels. The car is basically stock performance wise right now. Would it be safer to use a 10-12 psi pulley and have my tuner tune it accordingly to get around 380, or would it be safer to use the stock 8 psi pulley and upgrade midpipe catback, and tb and plenum in order to achieve that power using the 8 spi pulley? Is my thinking eve logical? Hopefully im making sense . Thanks guys

the less psi the less heat and therefore more safe, I'd go with the 8 psi and upgrades.

thts what i was leaning towards. Do you think I could get 380rwhp with a midpipe and catback on psi with a conservative tune?? Its an 01 gt and my daily driver.

 

[BanginStang97GT]

its possible

Get a KB! Mine makes 433HP at the wheels with 9psi and just a cat-back from saleen...

I was hoping for what you are when I installed my P1SC-2 kit from ATI. to my surprize it made 413rwhp without the powerpipe and then 430 with it. this with the stock 3.4 pulley. I have stock exhaust except for catback and a couple bolt ons along with fuel system upgrades.

That awsome dude.

I would think if you had an intercooler that using a 9-10psi pulley would be no thang.

I of course have to cast a vote for the KB, I have a 7psi pulley and am quite impressed. One day I will upgrade to the 9psi IC kit, but for now, I can only afford what I have. It totally changes your car, it never stops pulling, I think if I let it, it would pull it self right into a ball of flames. Muwahahahahaha

man showstoppr those numbers are awesome man. I have an anderson ford powerpipe with my kit so hopefully i will be able to make those kinds of numbers with the stock pulley. I cant wait to get this thing on. What fuel system are you using Showstopper?

I'm getting close to 400rwhp with my mods. With the AFM powerpipe you should see 9lbs of boost. I'm set a good safe tune since it is my daily driver. Could easily go over 400rwhp.

You're car is completely BAD A$$!!!! I want!!!

use guys got more than me, $hit what else are you running

 

[DBMSTNG]

a good tune plus an x-pipe and cat-back can do it.

 

[DeadLurker]

keep the psi around 8 if possible

 

[showstopper2]

you can just click the My Garage link below my name and see all the mods I have on the car to this point.

Just out of curiosity.....

what do you guys think I would gain with SLP longtubes and Catted high flow Xpipe? I was thinking that my boost would drop a couple pounds without the added restriction and my HP would go up another 20-30. let the debate begin.

 

[Darkhorse845]

I second that!

I have standard KB tune, Borla cat-back and stock H-pipe

I read somewhere that kb tested stock exhaust against hi flow and it was only 8 - 10 hp !!
