Boost and hp

[Adower]

It's loud. Sounds pretty cool I guess. Just vent it to atmosphere is what I did. That's how you get that cool sound if you want it I believe.

I’m more concerned with how loud it is when cruising and it’s constantly venting. I hear it can get real old real quick.

What size tubing do you have for the coldside and what MAF are you using?

What spark plugs were in the car and what did the tuner switch to?

Did he say what the IAT's are during a pull?


Vortech
V-1 T-Trim Supercharger:

• Max
  Speed: 55000 RPM
• Max
  Boost: 26 PSI
• Max
  Flow: 1200 CFM
• Max
  Power: 825 HP
• Peak
  Efficiency: 73%

Maybe swapping to a larger pulley setup to slow things down a bit would be a good idea.

I kept smoking alternators so I had to add a larger alternator underdrive pulley and I had to put on a 2.7 in supercharger drive pulley to accommodate my larger alternator pulley because the blower and alternator are right next to each other. I'll take some pictures when I get my car back to show you guys. I definitely need am air to water intercooler to cool things down and get the most out of my combo it seems.

The intercooler is an air to air style with 3in piping and I have a pro m blow through maf. Forget the actual type of spark plugs I will ask. Thanks.

You should be okay with an air to air intercooler I think

Perhaps but the air to water system does seem to be able to cool your intake air by a good margin. Also with air to air when car is stationary on a dyno might not simulate true driving at speed when the air to air really can cool things down. Just a theory but maybe it's true. Also on a different point my car is quite loud so I don't really notice the blow off valve constantly venting when cruising. When you give it some gas it quiets down a bit then when you shift or let off the gas you here the classic hissing sound. I think it sounds cool bur it's personal preference I guess. Sounds are subjective.

The only time I can see a/w being better is drag racing where you can add ice. Otherwise I would think a/a is superior.

I need to get to Sacramento raceway and see what I can run. With 4.30s I'll be shifting into 5th so it might hamper my quarter mile. Never actually raced or done the quarter mile in my life lol so I probably would need practice. Also only have street tires. I always thought air to water was more effective but like I said I'm still learning.

I built my car with road course in mind and not a drag car as well. But I'd still be curious to see what I could do in the quarter.

Yea I wouldn't be taking your car to AED if I were you. The fact that he doesn't know why the boost is that high isn't good. OR the A/A is a garbage brand or there is something else happening.. I run a 2000hp A/A cooler in my car and I'm making in the 1200+hp range. You don't need to go COP, you have a lot of other things going on man. Don't go and tell NEXTGEN how to do their job based off the internet though lol. But I will say that you need to get that car to someone who specializes in mustangs. You also need to get a nations alternator with a regulator then it won't matter the pulley the size. I ran a 2.5" and now I run a 2.70" alternator pulley.

I'll say this again, it's not going to be what you want to hear but it'll save you thousands if not a new motor in the end.. Take the car to someone who specializes in Mustangs.. Take it to AED and have them look at it. Or Hugo at HLM Motorsports.

I have my car with Hugo. Def recommend him. He deals specifically with modulars too.

Thanks. I looked up hugo at hlm but I couldn't find him. I'll email Shaun see what he says. I'm wondering to what's going on. Thanks for the insight.

Oh yeah what intercooler setup do you got?

 

[01yellercobra]

JMO, for street and road course go with air to air. For drag racing go with air to water. Less moving parts to worry about with air to air. When I had a Procharger set up IAT's were never more than a few degrees above ambient. Even after a pull.

Air flow on the dyno is no where near what you'll see on the street.

I emailed Shaun about my story with my car. I will definitely upgrade to your air to air setup. Still pretty concerned and bewildered about why my car is not making more power with 26 psi. The car has always ran fine and doesn't smoke or nothing. I really am concerned and wonder what my issue could be. Thanks again for helping me try to figure stuff out. Love your car and thats my goal eventually. Awesome ride you got.

I wouldn't say you need a 2000hp i/c.. proper i/c sizing for the power you're trying to make is important.. I like to keep a 300-500hp gap just in case.. So 2000hp would be about 1700rwhp for my setup.. I'd say a 1500hp i/c would serve you just fine. You're not going to roadrace a 800rwhp mod motor that's boosted, it wouldn't go 1 lap without melting.. Trust me I used to road race lol and I used to track this car years ago with a full Griggs setup, a T-trim and modified vortech air to water.. and even at 12psi it would get hot.

Ok. I'll just stick to drag racing and driving on the street lol. Thanks again.
