[Macunicorn]

Awesome vid. She sounds great dude.

[1LOUDGT]

Very clean Hatch. Dumps sound great. Did you get it tuned yet? Why is your tensioner upside down?

Thanks for the comments, 1LOUDGT, i fabricated my the exhaust system myself (welder from way back). I tuned it and had it on the dyno last summer (501rwhp, 460rwt).
The tensioner is uside down due to clearence issues, this setup worked and it didn't cause problems anywhere else.
Also, some of my neighbors are car guys, not all of them (I do get the stink eye from a select few)
I have to admit, working on a supercharged car had a learning curve.

Looks like you have stock valve covers. I’m guessing they aren’t stock heads though with those HP numbers. Sounds like a mild cam, tough to tell with the dumps. What pulley are you using @ what PSI? You need to get some of those hood lifts for Christmas.

Looks good and sounds good, whats all done to it besides the obvious, Stock bottom, heads, cam? Very curious on how you hit those numbers...

I have similar with stock bottom with GT40X heads and a V1 and get about 470RWHP. I have all the emissions attached and working (and it passes test easily), shorties, mechanical fan. I have a lift bar setup as well and I'm not a fan.

[HighDensity]

Damn I miss my old 5.0

I can't watch this stuff, it makes me want to cry. BADASS car man.

[OiDALE]

Wow, thats very nice...My setup is going to be a stock bottom but with tfs heads, systemax intake long tubes and Im going with andersons N-41 cam for now...I might put on a low psi blower like a paxton/powerdyne about 6-9 psi...I want to hit the 420/450 rwhp mark.

with your emissions, are you running the stock 4 cat h pipe or a two cated h pipe ?

stay away from powerdyne, they suck the internal belt breaks. and if you go with paxton, dont go with the old SN units that are ball driven (sn89,92,93,gss,sn2000), go with the new style. the NOVI

[OiDALE]

I had a sn89 and ended up selling it...Im in no hurry for the blower just to put my heads on, lol...

i had the sn93, but i sold that before i even in stalled it, it even had an upgraded impeller which would have made it make more boost. i should have done more reaserch before i bought it, but the good thing is i loss vary little money on it if any, cuz after i bought it the company raised there prices which allowed me to sell mine higher, that off set the ebay and paypal fees lol

now im off to bigger and better things

Magnaflow 2.5 H with two cats which I don't think they make anymore. I'm in VA which has a thorough visual as well as tail pipe on the dyno but they are more lenient with replacement cats than CA is. Even with all of the mods and power, it passes with better readings than my bone stock 91.

Yep, I here that...I just want to make my initial setup last through a small psi blower without going into the block. I should be happy with my setup. I think with the N-41 and the blower down the road I will be more than fullfilled...
