Everything is hidden, a lot of it runs under the intake manifold. Dash was removed and the rest of the harness was ran through the firewall behind the motor so that nothing goes to either side. I wanted it to look like the motor was just sitting in there with no wiring essentially.

Not getting sassy at all, and he has yet to actually use all the power his car makes. He's in the process of switching to a magnum as well (for good reason). I'll probably be doing an auto swap on my car this year (maybe sooner than later) to really take full advantage of the setup as much...

Yeah I guess my buddy Nick running 8.66 and trapping 170 on his t56 is a dyno queen. You're the first person I've ever seen say a magnum is weaker than a built t56.

The smaller blower pullies just don't do well with the steep step up ratio in prochargers. They seem to work ok with the vortechs but the procharger guys almost always have issues with them slipping. If you already have the parts you can give it a try but don't be surprised if it has belt slip...

It's gonna slip, you're better off to run a larger blower pulley and run and overdriven crank pulley.

That will help a lot with torque also plus you may be able to keep boost low enough to have a 93 tune and then say an e85 tune (if it's available to you). I run a single 44mm wastegate but my blower moves so much air that even with the wastegate wide open I'm still seeing 23.5lbs by 7700 rpm...

Like others have said you can buy a CX racing 3" kit and have something built from that. Mine is all 3.5" which is overkill for most people but I needed it for my setup. Procharger said do 4" if I could but my intercooler has 3.5" inlet/outlet so made no sense to go larger than that.

No reason you should break it, they will handle big power in stock form even. The one in my car is built to handle 1000wtq they don't even put a horsepower rating on it. If you're making 800-1000whp with that car you should have zero issues with it. My buddy makes 1482whp on a stock t56 gear...

Thanks man, I think an auto will be in it's future at some point to really optimize the setup but I really enjoy the magnum and the driving experience.

I didn't want to break the bank on an intake right now. A buddy of mine had a sullivan 5.4 lower that he gave me for a price I couldn't pass up and actually NA SVT is going to take care of making it work for me. No sense in getting rid of the F1x they made 1800whp with this blower on a 5.8 mod...

Yeah then it becomes a balancing act of how you pulley the thing to not lose too much boost down low but not overspin the blower even more up top. Next motor will spin somewhere around 8500-8700 range I'm having a Sullivan 5.4 intake modified to fit on a 4.6 based motor for me.

The F1x is actually quieter than the F1a and D1sc I've had. I think part of it is that it's on a cog drive which doesn't require a lot of belt tension. I think part of the reason the blowers are so loud on the serpentine drive setups is how much tension is put on them. Also I didn't build the...

Crank support is installed, this support was never made to run with AC and power steering but we made it work! My buddy had to space out the PS pump and then we added a manual tensioner to pull the belt away from the bracket for the crank support. Hopefully I don't have to change a serpentine...

haha thank you! What's ironic is the car isn't even close to being at it's full potential in that video. I think we will actually have to "limit" the power with my current bottom end probably somewhere between 1050-1100whp

No issues with it at all to this point. Spoke to a few other guys that have run them for years and been very happy with them. Being a stick shift car I felt it was critical as well as the crank support.

Yeah that likely has to do with the crank snout flexing, the snout on these motors is definitely the weak point when it comes to these cog setups. And with mine being a 6 speed car I wanted to make sure and give it as much help as possible so I run the super sprag upper pulley and wanted a...

In the balancer or the crank itself? And it's not uncommon on these cars to damage the crank snout with a cog drive, whole reason I wanted to put a support on mine. Especially with the F1x it's capable of making a LOT of power in comparison to an F1a or F1r. The guy I bought the support from...

That's the exact trailer I want but with the rock guard on the front. What'd you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Had found an old thread on a few other forums where a guy named "little mags" had built a custom one off crank support for his F1a car. Well I got in touch with him about building another one and about 2 weeks later he hit me up saying he was switching up his car and would sell me his. I'm...

Yeah my 18" ccw classics will likely never make their way back onto my car now. Likely just going to sell them, I can't imagine trying to put my power down on an 18" tire

Very nice build man, and drive that thing home! I drive my F1x car all the time, just make sure it's got a good tire under it and respect the power!

Do a TR1245 and don't look back. Fits great and will more than suit your needs. I run a 1245-28 which is massive but it does still fit our cars but had to sacrifice my fog lights lol

Gorgeous car man, hope to catch up with you sometime maybe at Coffee and Cars or an HPD event.

Added two videos I had for all that were asking for vids. Plan to have a proper video made of the car soon

Here's a vid of a 2nd gear hit a few weeks ago. This is still with the wastegate wide open and timing is very conservative. My buddy was chasing me in his 17 Grandsport Vette
