Well, about 2 months ago I was presented a deal I couldn't refuse....in the end I had a vortech t-trim set up for 10 psi and comes with a 12 lb pulley also....it also came with a fmu but the guy needed his t-rex pump for his turbo set up so I got a afm big pump from the corral!!, Anyway, I've decided I will do the install in my garage at home rather than at work, as I'm gonna work on it little by little and if I wanna stop, I don't have a 45 min ride home, apart from a lift my garage at home has a huge 60 gallon compressor and any tool I don't have I'll just bring home....To begin with I'm just gonna use all the stuff the guy gave me, including his 75mm maf and the fmu that has a disc in it for 24lbs inj....while I know the maf is gonna be a restriction and the FMU is a bandaid for the inadequate inj's, the guy ran it like this on his ride and made 360 rwhp before it started to go lean up top, which I anticipate will be the same for me, when I get more coin, I will get a larger maf and 42 lbs inj......I will either take it to a friend who has a dyno to see if my a/f is acceptable to run in the meantime or I will get a fast dual wideband to monitor it.....currently, I still need to get a decent balancer as I don't dare use the oem one as the rubber in mine is questionable, I also need to get a boost retard and map sesor set up for my crane hi-6 ignition I will put on it.....so after all that, I'm gonna be broke again..lol....anyway here are the pics of the AFM boost a pump I installed tonight and wired up...and the motor as it sits...next will come the removal of the brackets on the motor in preperation for s/c install.....stay tuned, I hope to have it all done in 2-3 weeks

good call on the balancer, mine made it down the street before it spun.

Hell yeah should be fun!

hope so...I'm worried it'll pop the head gaskets, so I'll have to make sure the a/f is spot on and keep timing low....I did use a 9333pt1 gasket when I did the n/a build, but I used arp head bolts, I have studs that lay in waiting if they blow..hope not

Yeah aslong as you can keep the preignition/detination factor out itll prolly last a while. Do you have a small airport close to where you live?

about a half hour...why??

Theres a fuel option you maybe interested in unless you preffer 10$ a gallon race fuel. Its 100 low lead its what they use in airplaines to reduce knock and detination at high altitudes its a true 100 octane. I run it when im spraying and every so often to clean the cylinders and vlvs.
