Planning for Ported Blower: Need Advice

[1BadKB03]

I have the following mods:

BBK LT's, O/R X, Magnaflow CB, K&N FIPK, 2.8 Pulley, 100mm Idler, and a superchip.

I'm planning to get my blower ported (Steg'd ;-) ) before summer and I wanted some advice on supporting mods. I'm all ready planning to buy an alum. coolant res. and a heat exchanger but I didn't know what other mods would be helpful. I'm wanting to get all these parts installed at once. Thanks for the help guys.

BAP, MAFIA, and a good custom tune.

You'll need a MAF, I am using the MAF.ia. It's a plug & play with the stock MAF that allows the stock MAF to read higher voltages. It's $150. I got mine from Lethal Performance. You'll also want to add a BAP (Boost-A-Pump), I got mine from Lethal Performance as well ($250). You could look into getting 60# injectors but they usually aren't needed until 530+ RWHP. It would be a good mod to do though.

Also, you may want to consider selling your 2.8 and getting a 2.93 and a 4lb lower setup, as that seems to be the combo that is making the best power with Stiegemeier's Stage IV. The 2.8 and the port should get you ~500/470 RWHP though. With a 2.93 and 4lb, you may see ~525/510.

Thanks a lot for the advice, so building a list. (I'm helping Tiebreaker assemble his parts list)

1. Maf.ia - 150.00 - lethal performance
2. Boost-A-Pump - 250.00 - lethal performance

Should I look to billetflow for my pulleys or is there somewhere else you would recommend?

I've seen somewhere that the MAFia comes in 2 styles, a 1 Foot Cable version and a 3 Foot Cable version.

I assume that the 1 Foot Cable version would be the normal one that most people would use. Why would you need a 3 Foot Cable? Moving the MAF into the Fender or something with a special Cold Air Intake?

Something for the maf might be safe, I'm on a ported blower, inlet, ported plenum, accufab, 2.80 with a 2 or 4lb lower once in a while, I'm 100% stock and have never pinged the maf or gone lean short of nitrous.

Only problem I see is finding a new place to purchase the BAP. Lethal Performance is not a dealer anymore. And you don't absolutely have to have the intercooler tank, might wanna purchase the parts mentioned here first.

James @ Runnin' With The Devil (RWTD) has them...I bought mine from him not too long ago.
Give him a ring (251)479-9451
Make sure you get a 40amp Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump!

2.93/4# is definately a good way to go...i love it.
Rick @ amazon is a great tuner and is excellent with customer's service...he will go the extra mile to troubleshoot or work things out to make it more convenient on your part.

I agree w/everything but since he already has a 2.8 upper stick with that and get a 2lb lower. I myself have a 2.76 upper and when I install my ported blower will be adding a 2lb lower.

You will probably need injectors.

Did you order the lower Tommy?

 

[Tommy98016]

soon :-D

 

[utfan98]

Yes get billetflow pullies, supercharger as well as 4 idler kit. Doug also is a good source for Metco. Customer service is great.

Negative.

 

[SVTBoxer]

I just caught my blower back and have a 2.8 upper and was going to run a 4 lb lower. Just wondered what you guys thought about doing that???

With a 2.8, I'd stick with a 2lb lower, JMO.
