yes I was sure that the s-trim is good to 20psi. I am planning on making 600whp with my s-trim on a 2 valve. I want the aftercooler, but alot of people say it becomes a cork around 500hp and that I would make more power with a front mount intercooler. I dont know which one I should get. Im planning on running 15psi after the new motor is in.

Whatever you do stay away from the POS Paxton front mount.

whats bad about that kit? It seems to be the best option since there are no other front mount kits on the market for my car. I could end up doing a custom setup.
Putting a YSi on my Bird starting next week. I am anxious to see what it does. Will hold it to below 15 psi till all sorted out, then put it on E85 and spin it up.

Why is that? I thought the 10 rib would have less slipage? :shrug:

b/c your s-trim dosnt need a 10 rib to keep it from spinning. A 8-rib will do fine.

why would you go 10 rib? 8 rib is fine for tons of hp. plus, where can you find 10 rib belts? parts houses only stock up to 8 rib.
LOL! I have tried to explain this so damn many times on Modulardepot and Modularfords its not even funny. Everytime someone says "dont put breathers or a catch can on your car or you will lose metered air!!!" I want to commit suicide.TT91 said:

If anyone is interested in a catch can setup, this is some reading material. You dont need all the fancy hose and fittings, you can do it with rubber hose and plastic fittings just as well.

It will kill your torque since it is so big. IMO I would custom make a ATI front mount work if you can.
Its going to be super duper loud. :beer:393Bird said:

As loud as it is now with headers and Race Bullets, I may not even hear it
I promise you wont be able to hear your exhaust over the screeching of the blower. It will be super loud.393Bird said:As loud as it is now with headers and Race Bullets, I may not even hear it

If you lose metered air, your engine runs rich, not lean.
And congrats on the #'s again Drew. I bet she runs like all heck is loose. :bowdown:
You are right, but its a moot point because you dont lose intake air out the valve covers anyway. I dont understand where people keep getting that idea. I guess its just people that dont understand the inside of a engine very well.

Yup, just pointing that out so someone didn't get any mis-info. Too much of it out there anyway, like you said already. :banana:

Ah thanks for catching that, don't know what I was thinking. You Cobra looks sweet too in the sig. :thumbsup:
hardcore35th said:
Its due to their lack of hands on with a motor, therefore they have NO idea what they're talking about, and shouldnt be alloud to post.

Yup. When you get 100 people all talking about things they don't understand, it gets twisted pretty quickly.
Stopsign: Thanks for the compliment! :rockon:
