Numbers in the sig.
I didn't hit the magic 600 RWHP, but I'm very happy with the performance of the so called "little" Vortech V9 kit nonetheless.

Here's a link to the thread over on Eastern F-Body.

Cheers.

 

Very nice #'s Crunch!! Congrats, your #'s are very close to mine. So I know what it's like to drive a car with 520-530rwhp

Nice numbers! Are you aftercooled as well?

What size blower pulley are you running?

Cheers,

Yes, this is the kit with the MaxFlow Aftercooler. I also changed out the rinky-dink Vortech aftercooler water pump with a heavy-duty ShurFlow pump. It flows MUCH better.
I am using the 2.75" supercharger pulley. And contrary to what everyone else told me (including Vortech), it was a DIRECT replacement. No modifications or relocations needed.

AND this was done WITHOUT over-spinning the blower head unit.

 

Awesome

I have often thought of a similar combo.

Do you think the aftercooler is really worth it for the extra 1500 bucks?

Cheers,
Chris

 

At this point, I don't even consider the aftercooler an option. If you put your hand on the impeller after a few minutes of hard driving your skin will literally melt and stick to the metal. But if you feel the pipe after the MaxFlow cooler, its only lukewarm to the touch. The difference is night and day. I can't even imagine 300 degree HOT air getting shoved into an already hot engine.

I know alot of Mustang guys that run high boost without aftercoolers, but most of them run on race gas. I don't see how you can drive hard with 10PSI on pump gas with NO cooler without detonating. That little blower gets HOT!!

 

Nice... very nice!

Congrats!

The aftercooler upgrade sounds like a "sho nuf" item, too. That IS a big difference!
