I'm going to be keeping the CMS Stage II NA Cams and see how they perform. Obviously I'm going to lose some HP/TQ in the process, but that is fine by mine. I can always swap them out later.
Going w/ 42lb Green Top Injectors along w/ an AEM 320LPH Fuel Pump (currently already purchased as I tried out E85).
As for right now; just ordered the Vortech V3 Tuner Kit from Brenspeed. Yea buddy!
yup, daily driver. i don't want anything over the top in terms of power. just need something to put these LS drivers in their place along w/ these funny import guys.
I would sell your cams and buy a set made for your application before doing anything else. There is no need In making a setup like you have and cutting corners where it matters the most.
Your contradicting yourself when you say you want to make x amount of HP then say you don't care if you lose HP by running the wrong cam.
i may. CMS blower cams aren't expensive. as it currently stands, im not expecting anything fantastical as far as #'s go. i've been let down by looking at my dyno sheets in the past lol if i can beat a car w/ x amount of HP, then im happy to know i have more than that car does.
i also know that i will be limited due to the cams but also due to the 42lb injectors and possibly the fuel pump.
if i hit 500 or close to it, i'll be satisfied. sure there's always room for improvement. changing pulleys, bigger injectors and blower cams. i just wanna get the big stuff outta the way first, ie supercharger and shortblock.
Man! This car has come a long way in a short time bro! Looking good and a solid plan to boot, can't wait to see it boosted! Hopefully I'll be joining that club in a couple months
Nice man, you'll love the vortech. You gonna run it on the stock bottom end for a few ? If so how much boost? And gonna run the stock motor on e85?
Pate, I do agree... But NA cams actually work good with a centri. Obviously not ideal. But those cams and the blower will max out that bottom end. I think it'll work good.
But, if it were me. When I put the motor in, I'd just buy a centri ground set of cams while it's apart.
Ohhh lol got ya. When you get the Cxracing kit, just remember you'll lose a few lbs of boost. I'd say start with a 3.6 pulley, and either bring a 3.4 or 3.33 pulley too. A gates 108" belt (part # k061080) is used for a 3.6 pulley. But, for dyno time it'll work for a 3.33" pulley too.
But if you decide to settle with the 3.33 pulley, you'll want a 107.5" belt gates part # k061075.
Another thing, you'll free up a lot of power by NOT using the **** vortech plastic intake. Either make your own for $45 or buy one. That thing robbed me of a solid 30rwhp just by switching to a 4" aluminum pipe (45* angle) and using a 90* silicone coupler going from 4" to 3.5" (blower inlet is 3.5") and the blower discharge is 2.75" so you'll need a 2.75" to 3" silicone coupler going from the blower to the intercooler piping. Siliconeintakes.com has everything you'll need and the best couplers imo.
where do i go for different sized pulleys? also how the pulley sizes relate to psi? i'd like to bump up the boost from the get go cuz i am keeping the N/A cams for now and as you said, i'll lose a little boost due to the intercooler.
for the 4" aluminum pipe, how long did you get? i'm seeing just a 1" and 2" length for a 45* 4" diameter pipe.
I know Eagle by now good enough to know he was hitting the bottle last night Lol. Most of us regulars on here know each other good enough to know when something is up.
3.33 pulley on the stock motor, yea... I think you'll make more then enough boost/power. My vortech v1 S I ran a 2.87 pulley, but wasn't as efficient.
For MAF, I'm assuming your going blow through?? MAF after the throttle body? I'd go with an SCT BA 2600 or 3000... Or do it once, and never have to worry about MAF running out of range, do a vmp slot style MAF.
Look into a slot meter with harness. Just pick a location between IC and TB. cut a hole in piping, then weld in flange and drop in slot meter. The harness is plug and play. Just to give you some comparison slot meter and BA 5000 use the same tuning values.
Ps
if you have somebody weld in the flang make sure they get flow direction right. The flange is directional ask me how I know.
I run mine form the ic to tb. It's right next to my powerpipe.
Just so u know I peg a ba2800 at 600 whp.
I'm now running the 3000 with no issue at all I made a gasket for it n have no vaccum leaks ect

Also you won't need the cone adaptor if u go blow though. That be draw witch I won't do
hmmm i was figuring i'd need the cone adapter so that i can attach a coupler to the end of it, otherwise, it would just have the bracket at the end of the housing w/ 4 holes and nothing for a coupler to attach too.

im leaning towards the first option, if possible as id rather not have to return anything lol
and im not going to be anywhere near 600rwhp (yet) as i am going to install the centri in a few weeks and get the built shortblock later. at which time ill look into getting the ba5000.
as you can see, i clocked the supercharger so the outlet is facing down, at an angle for the intercooler. is this correct? or should it be at its stock position facing to the left fender?
next you can see i added a ricer looking breather on the passenger side pcv valve. is this okay? this valve is the one that connects to the throttle body. on the throttle body, its the furthest connection to the right, next to the egr. im going to use this connection that is on the right close to the egr, for the bov vacuum line + boost gauge. so is that breather fine on the passenger side?
the drivers side pcv im thinking of either hooking that up to the power pipe or getting another ricer breather. yay or nay on that?
