I actually tried to get the cats cut out last week but my welder guy hurt his back and is not working. Gotta find a new guy.
So am i understanding this right

If u have ceramic cats then they should come out and if u have cats that are not then are they ok for a supercharger

What I'm saying is that the Hot Rod cams made my factory cats work double time and stink like crazy. They also got blazing hot. When I went to Pypes headers I deleted cats. However I did buy some hi flow metallic Pypes cats so I can pass emissions this month but they are coming right back off. If you want to retain hi flow cats and you supercharge your car, you must use metallic cats and not ceramic.

Hey Muscle,

I had a chance to do some research today. With our mods, cams/headers I got a pro tuner at Blow By Racing telling me we need a BAP. Did you get the 2.57 pulley kit too? If so then definitely you need a BAP. I also found some other guys on some different forums with cams and headers like us needing to run a BAP with the M90 and 2.57 pulley kit. Talk to John at Blow By Racing and he can shed some light on this.

This crap is givin me a headache.

I have the stock pulley. I was told with the stock one you do not need to upgrade to gt500 fuel pump per jim jr @ jdm. We didn't talk about a BAP. When I talked to him today it was not mentioned either. I can always call tues and ask.

I just wonder if my current mods would make the M-90 dangerous

Wonder if the price will drop more in a year or two also.
They are closing them out. Snooze you lose!

at the defualt level of power those make, you probably do not need either. If you have someone around you with a SCT3 or a Predator, you can data log and see what your fuel pump duty cycle is at WOT and high RPM. That will tell you if you actualy need a fuel system upgrade or not. Also, you can check your injector cycle. Both would be good info to check.

I'd probably run a BAP at anything over 400 rwhp. Its cheap insurance IMO...

Default Problem solved

Checked all tubes, hoses, cai and no leaks. But upon very close inspection I pulled out the aluminum bushing thing that plugs into the black plastic roush intake tube and wondered if it was backwards cause it was kinda wobbly. Looked at the directions which just said insert, but the picture showed it with the small end outside. We had it backwards. Changed it up. Fired it up, WB was reading a little lower at idle. Took for some runs. At almost WOT it was reading 12 something. It was hard to watch it as the car kept wanting to slide sideways! Lol. Blower is so loud you can't hear the tires spinning. Rolling into first gear it spins em. It freaking pulls like a sumbitch.....omg is it fun. Forget cams, forget LTs just go straight for this m90. No single bolt on can touch this increase in power. It's a whole new car...it's a beast now! It now lives up to it's plates NSTYGT Its everything every FI guy has said after they got theirs installed.

Timmbo, dude, order now before it's too late. It's amazing.
