s/c on stock block and add h/c/i later?

[dsblk93gt]

Yep that was it with the Pro-M and I didnt even think about the return style system since my 99 was NOT. Now it makes sense to me

And I agree you could never go wrong with the BA 24/28 SCT Maf's, especially if your using SCT software.





When I first put my Surge Valve in I was having some issues with it so I bought that Bosch Bypass and it didnt work for me AT ALL. It would just surge 24/7 and it drove me absolutely crazy. It was also much smaller than the original Surge valve that came with mine.

I should mention I DID NOT put the maf where they wanted it because I dont like putting a maf in a fender, instead I did a Blow Through Set up as close to the TB as possible and used the original much larger Surge Valve.
(It didnt have an in or out marked so I flipped it around and it was perfect from that point on)


See the Radiator Like Hose coming off the Procharger Inlet tube, that's what my Surge valve was attached to, it's about double the OD size of that Bosch.

PS
Thanks for the education, there's some GREAT info in this thread

I was wondering because my friend Scott had a P1SC on his Cobra and the MAF was in the fenderwell. It's definitely better having it where you did. With a blow thru it's good to have as much straight pipe before the sensor as you can. Th best sensors now for a blow thru are the slot style meters like the newer Fords all use.

My 93 LX had a ProCharger on it when my cousin bought the car and the way the piping is on the kits for the foxbodys sucks. There is a 90* bend right before the MAF. The valve was located off a hose like yours and was in the fender well on the passenger side.

Mine had the 12 rib upgrade too, I still have a brand new belt for it if anyone ever needs one lol.

great info in here for me to ponder, thanks dsblk93gt

No problem!! Don't be afraid of used superchargers either, I have bought used Vortechs and so have my friends and never had issues. Once in awhile bolts will be missing or something. I picked up a old school used A-Trim with 4,000 miles on it for $850 SHIPPED once. It looked like brand new.

This was a Powerdyne on my old 93 GT

my LX with the 331 and S-Trim running 2.95 pulley

and how my LX is now...alot of powder coating on the motor...

Dam those were both very nice clean set ups & installs

I actually bought the Cobra Kit cause the poor Brother wrecked it 150 miles after installing the Procharger (and I got a killer deal). I found the GT Bracket for hardly nothing used and ended up using the over sized Cobra Fender Piping and attaching an extra long 4" Rubber Cplg where the maf would have went in the fender

I did have to mess with "clocking" the Maf as you see it there, if you turned it even a couple of inches in another direction it would throw a code. BUT if you put it with the plug at exactly 3:00 you were trouble free and running like a fine machine

Very nice Dave!! You're using the stock fan still? I went through one fan already, and the one I have on now has got more cracks in it already. The first fan that shit the bed, I was going through the gears than I heard a loud clacking noise when it went above 2500 rpms. I had no idea what it was until I got back and looked at it.

I've had my novi 1k for nearly a decade now. I destroyed my original bone stock 302 on 15# of boost. Now with a worked 302 it's running 13#. It's the little blower that could. lol With h/c/i/e and a 3" pulley I've made some nice power (better then most think would be possible with such a little blower). The 1k was between an a-trim and an s-trim, and because of $$$ constraints at the time I went with the 1k cause it was a better price. In hindshight I should've saved up a little more and gone with the 2000, but at this point it's been a good little blower, and my next move will be twins.

 

[dsblk93gt]

I had a NOVI 2000 for my F150, I sold the whole kit to a guy in Norway (yes the country!) I was going to use it on my '00 Harley F150 but sold the truck. I got the COMPLETE kit for cheap NEW from Stillen as it was OLD STOCK, one of the 1st 100 kits made for the 5.4 F150.

Here is my V1 Si-Trim next to the NOVI 2000 LOL

 

[dsblk93gt]

This was the same 89 GT on the 1st page when we 1st installed the NOVI 1000.

Oddly enough I have always ran the stock fans on my cars. I do have an electric fan I may add later on though.

dave....i talked to bob and he said he doesn't recommend the sci kit strictly for the fact that its a cut down si trim and to upgrade costs alot etc...so now i am looking at the v3 si-trim...i do like the fact that i dont have to tap into the oil pan with this since its self contained unlike the novi...so from what i have gathered so far im looking at:

si-trim tuner kit
42lb injectors
lightning 90mm maf
afm powerpipe
255 walbro fuel pump (already have new and waiting for install)

what else will i need and do you think my f303 cam will work good with this setup?

The Paxton is self contained as well, thats the "SL" part which means self-lubricating. The costs to upgrade the SCi would be up there after the 8 rib setup and the discharge. I guess it depends on the price of the Si.

The F-303 is fine for a SC'ed car.

 

[Killer5.0]

i didn't know that about the novi...thats good to know...so does the si come with a 8 rib pulley then? price on the si is $2650 shipped for the tuner kit

 

[dsblk93gt]

Yea, the Si comes with the 8 rib setup. It replaced the S-Trim.

 

[Killer5.0]

so you think the price is good? it comes with the alum discharge/bov setups just no fuel or timing stuff or btm...

 

[dsblk93gt]

You don't need that stuff anyways with a tune. I don't know what the going price is on them right now but it sounds decent. It depends on your budget and your overall goals with the car.

 

[Killer5.0]

well for me the cheaper the better lol...its a fun car with its current setup but i want it to have more...its 100% street driven and may only see the track once or twice just to see what it can do but its being built for the street...i dont know hp wise what i would need but from the sounds of it the si trim is the way to go b/c if i want to have more after the sci it seems like it would cost a bit more to get it to the same specs or close to...
