That bitch is bad. Do you have a build thread. Curious to the machine work and fuel system. Nice work.

^agreed

nice looking and sounding build! I'm also interested in more info on the fuel system. (I'm running a Walboro 255 in-tank + a Radium Engineering fuel surge tank with a single Walboro 255 inside + an external FPR with AN lines under the hood and as the return.)

Wow, you are running two maf sensors?

Good power and it looks like you didnt go cheap on the parts.

Why didnt you go with larger flowin heads?

Hows the cam at preboost rpms

Wow, awesome V that thing is a beast! Congrats on getting the build done.

That's awesome power! And at 7psi! She's barely breathing! Looks amazing too, I bet it has tons of low end grunt.

Naf, I'd venture to say there was no point in spending the $ on higher flowing heads especially when it's making amazing power with low boost. He'll make 3x more power with another 3psi out of a $200 pulley than $2,000 heads!

I don't have a build thread but can add any details here or answer any questions.
A good friend did the work for me and setup the fuel system. I can have him chime in on specifics of the fuel system setup.
The valley cover was the most amount of work to modify to fit the supercharger, had it machined down by a local shop to clear everything. See attached pics.
I want to make some changes to the air filter as well to mount it outside of the engine bay.

Car is setup Speed Density, the MAF is strictly used for the Meth reference.

At the start of this build I was thinking of keeping it simple and heads/cam weren't on the list but for the cost of porting and everything already open decided to send them to AI. The cam was a challenge to tune for driveability at first but those bugs have been worked, very little surge. It was spec'd by AI and we have had many discussions about trying a different cam to see whether we are losing boost with this one but the power band is very good and car pulls hard.
Definitely didn't spare any money on parts, wanted to do it all right once. Thanks

The car makes power fast and the low end torque is unreal, I am hoping to be back on the dyno early march with 3.25" pulley and try to hit 650 to the wheels. The tensioner that came with the kit has been faulty and after reading this is a known issue so once that is replaced and a better belt I expect to see 10psi consistently.

Looks fun! Who did your tuning and what dyno? Im in the Abbotsford area and have the other sliver V with HCI. Might be doing a turbo set up this year so this fuel system would be nice to see. We'll have to have a little meet sometime, there is another black v1 in town here too and we want to see this thing!

JOHNSOND61

Tuning (HP Tuners) and build was done by my friend Matt. Dyno was done at Speed Pro HP in Surrey on DynoJet. I will be out at Mission Raceway this year for sure.

are you using the evap line as your fuel return?

I bet that car is a ton of fun, what were the SAE numbers?

DMM

Oh...I know exactly who you are now lol! I was back and forth with your builder about a few things and he sent me the photos of the valley cover after he had it machined and drilled for the flush bolts. He also said Lingenfelter screwed you over with the oil sender piece b/c they said the bolt was separate after spending an outrageous amount for it.

Been a long time coming! Glad you guys got everything worked out! I see you guys also went with the rear steam port tie in as well.

Over 500ftlbs from 3000rpms and up...bet it feels AWESOME on the street.

Using Nylon oem tubing for return

JOHNSOND61

I don't recall seeing the SAE numbers, usually about 3% less I believe.

JOHNSOND61

That's right I gave him your contact at that time to discuss since you had already dealt with some of the issues.

JOHNSOND61

It's amazing, makes the power quick, always cruising around on stock rims with Drag Radials. I need to find a good tire for the Iforged 20's
