Stiegemeyer Ported blower Questions
I was looking into getting some more power out of my car but I dont have the money right now to get a Kenny Bell..I heard of a Stage 4 or 5 Stiegemeyer Ported blower...It is only 800.00 to do that.. That is more my price range..My question is does anybody have this done to there car already? Do they run harder? How much boost is safe for a good tune with it? I just thought It was a good deal for the price.... How much horse can it give you typically? I dont post much but Im on here all the time...Im also new on the Terminator Scene.SI IM trying to polish my skills... Also anybody from Evansville Indiana?

Well If your car is bone stock I woulds start with some of the basics. Do the head cooling mod, Then get yourself a Pulley kit and a good tune or tuner. Start with that.
I promise you will feel a big difference.

I understand what you guys are saying....I already had in mind starting with the cooling mod... radiator and heat exchanger...pulley and tune....I was just wondering if this is a safe thing to do or should I just save for a kenny bell? I want to get my car ready to handle the power rather then just adding it..t hanks guys..any other suggs...?

Honestly, it is safe but it wont net you nearly as much as a KB. from what i've seen ported Eatons will get you about 500rwhp and you can usually get about 450+ with the stock blower with just a pulley and tune.
I would do the basics and then save up for the KB and then you can hit ~600 hp.
Also you are going to be have to be careful your rear end my decide to explode i would look into a diff brace, but there is controversy about if it actually helps. You could also look into an SRA swap.

not to steal the thread but let's say i went the pulley closest to stock size and a tune, how much extra do you think that would get me?

I've seen 40+ rwhp from just a tune. And each additional psi is good for about 15 more rwhp with the stock blower.
I honestly dont know how strong the IRS is, but I have seen people use for road race w/o any problems, But its tends to show its faults on the 1320 with sticky tires.

+1 on the sticky tires...If you run at the track with street tires OR DR's, not too bad on the IRS...
If you go with a KB, your going to need 60# injectors, PAB, Real Good tune...You can still make 500rwhp with stock blower without changing injectors...your car is stock...GO SLOW with the changes!
