Yep, the UPR PP is the exact same design as the AFM powerpipe, but way cheaper. And Anderson makes a Meth kit called Mr. Freeze. It cools the intake charge only under boost. With the PP, Meth and good tune, I'd expect to see 60+rwhp easily.

Cool Andersons construction looks a little better....I see you purchased one just havent put it on yet? I need to bump my fuel....I have a standard 255 intank now...do you think a single 255 high pressure will suffice? Are you going to run the meth kit?

Yeah, I am putting the AFM Powerpipe on tomorrow. I planned on getting the UPR, because of it's price. However, I would have to really hack up the inner fender to make it work on my car. The 255lph is fine. You can make over 500rwhp with the single 255. As for the Meth, that was another option for me, since I can tune my own car with the Tweecer. But I realized how restrictive the 94-95 intake set up is and decided to replace that first. I do plan on adding meth later down the road.

Would you recommend swapping to the T unit...or leave it S and do this first? Im running 7" inch lower...and 2.95 at unit...when I we ran it first time...I had a lil belt slippage but some VHT took care of that...I didnt want to tighten the belt too much..ya know?

Personally, I'd keep the S-trim for now, and leave the pulleys as is. You don't want to overspin the little S-trim. I am running an 8 rib crank and 2.95 pulley as well making about 10lbs of boost, similar to what you are making. The belt is pretty strong. I was making 7lbs with belt slippage. I had to tighten it like crazy and finally made 9lbs. I'll let you know how much more boost I pick up with the Anderson.

Cool ok I leave the S unit....thanks again for all your help....deng 8 inch lower and 2.95 upper on paper you should be making more psi especially stock stroke right? You should drop a bit of VHT on your belt to "confirm" 0 slippage maybe.

Technically I should be making more boost then what I am currently making. However, since my heads, cam, and intake are so freeflowing, it negates more boost. But my intake system is so restrictive, it's not even funny. It is what it looks like: JUNK. Looks like I'll be going to Autozone tomorrow to pick some VHT up. Thanks for the tip. Also, if you are not satisfied with your new mods, then I would look into upgrading the head unit.
Oh and you can regap your current plugs, provided they are in good condition. Supercharged cars love a .28-.32 gap, so pick what you want. I am gapped .30.
