Have you never seen justin? He looks like a stick figure. Hes quick at those pulley swaps. However 10 mins is a bit far fetched

Pound for pound, based off JPC's website...It is alot cheaper to make 1100hp via Vortech Kit. I was being partially sarcastic in my above post. I still know I am better off with the Paxton kit. You can make 1000hp with a centri or twin turbo kit, yes the twins look very BADASS when you pop the hood, but I still like the fact of being close to $2500 cheaper by doing so with a centri.
Took me 30 mins to swap out a 6 rib pulley a couple of days ago. That included opening the garage, making a trip or two to my tool box and etc...Now I just have to play the waiting game with the tuner to get back me with a new tune...lol

Im not doubting it...I didnt want anyone thinking I can change a pulley that quick. I was just sourcing my reference.
removing the idler is the trick, it took us a while to come up with the idea,
we used to take longer too
I'm spoiled. I hit a button and my boost changes.

^^^^lol, no kidding. What does changning the pulley do? Can you do it while driving? :beer:
Exactly why i would want to put a WG on it if I went Paxton.
Bwaaa, lol
A pic from the foot brake street car class that I run in? LOL
You can run the class too, oh wait, you can't
1) Race Transmission, not OEM
2) Under the weight requirement
3) Slicks
Oh well.....
Throw some weight back in it, put some street tires on it, and we'll line em up
And this is how the car looks right now the way I daily drive it when not doing the nmra series, not a sticker anywhere to be found!
Same way as in my 9.03 run in full street trim

Hey beefcake show them the back with the chute!! haha couldnt help myself!:rolling:
:rockon:
the chutes not on right now, lol.
I don't penalize anyone for having the proper safety equipment for the e.t.s they are running.
that's only smart
snap, just picked up on this.
But wait..... You are not running the paxton kit, as is stated here!
So, looks like we have info coming from different angles.
Basically, your saying you want to have the only stick shift in the '8's. But, by your own admission. It can't be done with a stick car...
So, for the stick guy wanting to run big numbers, the centrifical is, by your own admission, the better choice?
Thats also obvious by the fact that aaron pointed out you guys are quicker with a vortech than me.
So, you finished testing the paxton, wanted to run a number, and instead of switching to a turbo, you opted for......
An even bigger Centrifugal!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it!!!!!!
Centri 1 Turbo 0, lol
OK lets settle this now....
we are running the Paxton for a few reasons.... we teamed up with Paxton in 2010 to help test their kit for them. So that's what we did. Since then yes we have developed a turbo kit and no its not on our car because we wanted to be the 1 and only stick shift 5.0 in the 8's. If you have ever driven a Stick Turbo car (which you may have) you should understand the complications with trying to run 8's with a stick/turbo in this chassis. Once we are done playing with the magnum and we decide to to put the "automagic" in our car with OUR turbo kit you can pretty much clear the record books cause we are going to be the fastest 2011 on slicks/Radials/street tires or what ever other records that is out there like car color, day of the week, rim ect
Thanks

Referencing a previous post in this thread...why not put a waste gate on a Paxton, put a smaller pulley on and run what boost you prefer? I.e. stock bottom end, goal is 600whp, use ~12# pulley and waste gate set at 9#(stock pulley power, but ramps quicker)? Is this setup not reliable?

Wastegating it won't be a magical end all. You'll fight the parasitic drag of it being pullied to 18(et al) psi even when on "6" psi (on the wastegate) for street driving. You will feel tons more low end because it will reach 6psi in no time, but then the drag will take at least 75+hp at higher rpm to spin the blower that fast. In short, you will lose peak power unless you run more boost to offset the drag base.
Also, waste gating centrifugals is strain on the motor as the engine will always be spinning the blower hard and affectively taxed until the pulley configuration is changed which effects longevity.
If I had a wastegate on a centri, I'd pulley it for 10psi, then set the gate 1lbs of boost more than I previously had it (6psi going up to 7psi) at so that power would come in much sooner, but the problem is now the motor is taxed with 33% more drag at high rpm, and the internals are subject to 7psi of boost vs the original 6, plus all the new found torque because of reaching 6psi sooner in the rev range will eat at durability of the rotating assembly as well.
I mention this as I've seen a perfectly fine stock 2v gt modular blow up from overdoing the wastegate exploit on a centri, practice caution and good luck.

Let's not turn this thread into a pissing match......
lol, don't you know good smack talk when you see it
thats what smilies are for!
we got a big season coming, got to get prepared
Not directed at me I hope, I'm just enjoying the fireworks and chewing on popcorn.
I ran out of popcorn already. Had to swap to pork skins.. BBQ flavor to be exact. I'm torn between a blower or turbo myself. This thread provides some good info guys
