RE: safe to run a 6lb blower??
just wondering, where in california are you?
they make plenty of emissions legal parts that make big power. Im making about 450rwhp with the stock cam and 1.6 RR and my car runs super clean on the emissions test. most of my emissions numbers where 1/6 the legal amount

RE: safe to run a 6lb blower??
what kinda car you got, and what you got on it? I live in vista, about an hour south of you.
In response to Mustang5.0_GT - Why would i bother getting a new tranny? With just a 6lb i don't think you would even need a new tranny. The T5 usually lasts over 200k miles, and a rebuild kit for it is only like 250 bucks anyways. Oh and i just got my whole rear end rebuild, new axel shafts, track lok rebuild kit, all new bearings, 3:73s.

RE: safe to run a 6lb blower??
dont worry bout headgaskets to you blow one. its not a big deal if you do just shut the car off and replace it
you like to spend money dont ya?
you dont need hardned pushrods, you dont need new lifters unless they are colasped
you have poly motor mounts listed...guess what i got a new set forsale for cheaper, i also have a timing chain for sale that is double roller, why get new springs when heads have them unless you got with acam with a high lift then the springs can handle.
there you go i saved you some money
be smart about this and you can get a complete TF or Holley setup for 2200

i blew my gasket because the car went lean not because of the boost. 6lbs of boost is safe with a tune on the factory gaskets. im running more then 6lbs and since blew one, i just replaced both with gaskets that afr recomended
TF & Holley arent the only company that makes parts for your car. Lots of people make emissions parts so shop around

RE: safe to run a 6lb blower??
luckythirteen13 have you heard of pacifica performance? They got a shop in Temecula, i think i'm just going to get a smog legal 6lb from them for cheap. They said they would help me tune it and everything. I got my CAI from them for 140, and my x pipe for 140 with no tax. I think i'm going to get a shifter, short tube headers, and underdrive pullies then save up for the blower. Oh and I suppose I should get a stronger clutch before hand also
