Bought a V2 SQ have bunch'o ?'s
Ahh can't wait. Finally bought a V2 SQ for my 97 Cobra! Bought it off a bud for $1500 complete with 42lb injectors, lightning MAF, TRex pump, yadayada.
I need to pick up an intercooler. What do you guys suggest? Already answered Thank you!
[ol][*]I just installed a 190lph pump 2 weeks ago . Will that be sufficient and work with the T-rex external or do I need to install the 255lph intank? I thought the T-rex was rated at 190plh, am I wrong?[*]Is the 3.33" pulley 10psi? Yes it is, as stated below

Great! Also, what's the limit for stock block? 450 flywheel hp or 450rwhp? Because a 10lb pulley and intercooler will put me at 480 flywheel hp based on Vortechs website. I'll get a smaller pulley if I have to! I don't wanna be grenading my engine on the way to the dyno place! He's gonna set me up with a tune to get there, but even still I want a safe level of power.

RE: Bought a V2 SQ have bunch'o ?'s
first off, congrats bro. great deal.
1) I would go with a paxton front mount, pricey...but i love mine. I have also heard fabbing up ones can be done as well.
2) I personally would upgrade to a 255lph intank to handle the power you are shooting for.
3) DONT RUN AN FMU. get a custom dyno tune.
4) ^+1, I say 425rwhp max.

I am in the process of doing a DIY FMIC from ebay with the generic pipping kit etc. Let me tell you it is a MAJOR PITA if your not extremely mechanically inclined. If you are though, you can save some serious dough.

RE: Bought a V2 SQ have bunch'
Well 480 flywheel is roughly 405rwhp+/-
Will it be okay to run a 10lb pulley and not intercool? I am getting a custom dyno tune. I just wasn't sure if my stock pressure reg could withstand the higher pressures?

RE: Bought a V2 SQ have bunch'
I would hate to install another pump as the 190lph was installed last week![:@] I am running the T-rex unit that comes with the kit. Will this still not be suitable for what I need?
