Best vortech set up to make 700 to 800 rwhp

[marvin54]

Hey guys I am currently running a vortech v2 sq blower on my stock long block in my 99gt makin 410rwhp on 10psi on an intercooled blow through set up and a 3.33 pulley... I plan on getting a fully built within 6 months ...ported heads custom cams, just about everything u can do to it and I am keeping it a 2v... So I wanna know wats the best vortech blower to get me to my goals thanks... Also want to stay away from meth and nitrous if possible

Novi 2000, F1a procharger, JT or YSI vortech. and 20+lbs

And are you auto tranny?

5spd... How much does a used jt trim usually go for?

Good luck finding a used JT trim.. Here's your best option

Trickflow 2v heads
YSI at 20psi
E85 or race gas..

X2. I would look around on some forums for used novi seem much
Ore common than jt or ysi.

i am really in no rush so i have plenty of time to find a used jt or ysi trim if possible... when i go to cog driven system with the bigger blower will my current set up just bolt right up with everything far as the intercooler and piping? and how difficult is it to install a cog driven system.. ive never really looked into it

Guess 600hp just isn't enough for a street driven 2 valve these days. I remember when you were the boss if you hit mid 500's with pump gas boost levels!

For 700-800 minimum 20psi and some big cams to spin the motor to the moon with ported trickflow heads and a short runner intake. Plus E85 to feed it.

 

[JP_Stang]

Yeah, your current setup should still work ok. You may have to make a few small adjustments to it, but it should be fine.

Been down this path MMR 1000, YSI, treadstone intercooler and much more.

Cogging a 2v is a big job. I went 8 rib with 2.80 RR upper, IW 10% O/D crank, RR a/c delete & manual tensioner and Thump Racing tensioner

Bad ass pony right there... sent you a PM for some more info

Don't forget an extra $3k+ for a built tranny.

With a JT trim you would never be able to run pump gas with that much boost. Yes i think 700rwhp+ is possible but running 20+psi and c16 all the time with like 20* timing. My opinion, have a pump gas tune set at 600rwhp, and a race gas tune. You could even get a smaller pulley and belt and swap out for when you want to run race gas tune.

I am just gonna go all out and get the YSI trim... so u dont think i could get my goal with out running race gas all the time? cause i would rather not do that.

 

[Stanger00]

The other downside to running c16 all the time is killing o2 sensors.

Build an efficient motor pulley for 16psi with the big blower and you'll be in the mid to upper 600s with pump fuel.

 

[BADD281]

You won't touch 700hp on pump gas, simply won't happen. Your best bet is to set it up for E85 or if that isn't available to you there is always methanol. Either way you are looking at a pipe dream if you think 700-800 on pump is realistic, even if you found a way to get high 600 through the 2v you are running the risk of damage since pump gas really shouldn't be pushed to it's limits like that.

Looks like i ll be getting water/meth then... ive just heard from a couple tuners that its garbage though... how true is this?

That's an amazing looking 2v

Meth injection is garbage huh? News to me. Even with pump gas and meth you're not going to see 700+ whp

 

[marvin54]

So ure saying going with a 4v is the only way ill make the power i am looking for?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

No.. TFS heads, Meth/Race gas/E85 take your pick, and 20+psi will get you into the 700's
