so i'm picking up an intercooled vortech kit this weekend. has front mount intercooler. piping is setup for a blow thru maf but can be setup for draw thru as well. just wondering what setup i should do
i keep getting a variation in answers so just thought i would see what yall thought.
i have heard to keep it a blow thru type because of the piping going all the way to the front mount. something about it bogging when you first hit the gas if you don't do blow thru with fmic and maybe pegging the maf? can't remember, not sure. do i need a blow thru maf? and if so do i need a new maf or can i use the stock one or/and an extender or whatever. kinda lost.
or can i do the draw through setup?? (PLANS ARE BETWEEN 380-400RWHP)
if so i know the intercooler piping would have to be setup different which i don't think would be a problem but same questions with this also. new maf? or can i use stock one or do i need extender or what. i have read the stock maf should not be pegged at 11psi or under. dunno if that was intercooled or not.
dunno which type setup i should/need to do!
main point-don't mind using the stock maf at all if i can keep it. don't wanna buy somethin i don't have to if i can stick with the stock one and be fine.
thanks!
