Boost levels for stock motor?

[whatwhine]

Thank you. I'll definitely do a thread on it.
Gotta find some local guys to go hunt with when it's done. There's a GTR running around I'd like to try

That's a great deal! Glad we pushed you in the right direction.

Now I need some VMP and TPS swag to represent lol....

Oh does the factory strut tower brace clear the vmps?

The BMR clears my Whipple. Not sure if it'll clear yours.

That's a good looking brace too

Congrats on the purchase, im just across the Nice bridge a few miles from Budds Creek. Who do you have installing the kit for you, if you are looking for someone to do it cheap and right let me know. Not sure if you knew or not but we have a VMP dealer and installer right here in Mechanicsville. I guarantee you wont find a shop that will do it cheaper and he does great work.

Best of luck with the kit, I had a TVS on my 04 Cobra and it definitely woke it up!!

Thanks Riddick, I'll install myself.
I'll have to hit you up sometime and meet up

What gauges should I run?
What should I be watching?
Boost?
Fuel pressure?
IATs?

Im running the Lund Racing Ngauge with the boost box and fuel pressure sensors. Its a very helpful gauge with being able to have a readout of 6 items at once.

If you want 600 to the wheels and cheap, get the beefcake special paxton or vortech and add the torque booster kit. I have it myself on an auto so my numbers a bit lower but all the people ive seen who own a manual and have it, get around 610 to the wheels. This is all on stock internals and a conservative Lund tune. I DD my car every day btw

Thanks for the shoutout. Our special is definitely hard to beat. That being said, you'll love your VMP GEN2R. The daily-drivability of a supercharged car is just hard to beat, whether it be PD or centri. I have a turbo 5.0 and I run only a boost gauge. I know plenty of guys way faster than my car and they run only a boost gauge, too. The nGauge is a great all-in-one tuner/gauge that I would recommend. If you have billet OPG/CG (if not, let me know and I'll hook ya up on a set), just be concerned with fuel pressure, IMO.

If you use an SCT handheld I would highly suggest picking up an Aeroforce gauge. One gauge that will display any of the parameters you listed above.

I had dual aeroforce interceptors. They were a little slow on reading their parameters and I got rid of them within 3 weeks.

With the duals I believe this has always been a problem. I remember many Terminator owners reporting the same thing. I do not believe this is an issue with the single gauges displaying one parameter.

I've read the same thing. The processing power is just not there to display near real-time information. The boost gauge on the dual aeroforce would be a solid 2-3 seconds off. It was kind of comical.

Yeah I have a friend with a terminator who's dealing with aero force and I think I'll stay away from that.....

I'll definitely have a boost gauge.

Logan and Terry, yal are awesome and have great deals, I jumped on that 0% financing. Only reason I went through tps lol.

I have opg and crank sprocket coming now, mmr had a sale for Memorial Day
