Ponies on The Run (Again)
I'm getting it. In fact I'll probably be getting the GT500 fuel pump as well. I figure a few extra $$$ now is better than a whole lotta $$$$ if things go south. So I'm going to do everything in my power to prevent KABOOM. I could probably get away without having to do either but hey it's only money right? Only negative to doing all of this is that I'll have to push the install back to early November so that I've got the $$$ to do everything at once.
Tom-Thanks Jed made it for me.
Did the intercooler come with the 3.33 pulley or did you have to get that separately?

I'm pretty sure the 3.33 (and any other size besides the 8 lbs) is sold seperately. Jon had to buy his.

Heads *should* be coming back today. Waiting on rings. With any luck, motor will be assembled back together this weekend or early next week.
Will get a better snapshot on when the completion date will be by mid-next week.
Was told that this waiting time from the machine shop is not uncommon and typically does take 2-3 weeks to get stuff done.
So yeah...

Since your an Automan Trak Rat you may want to consider upgrading your torque converter. You will of modified just about everything in your powertrain, now its time to look at this.

Do it Leo the Fluidyne is a good move in the right direction. The GT-500 Fuel Pump is a top solution but for the HP range were working within the BAP works great.

Congrats on the choices Leo. You won't be disappointed.
I'm on GT500 pumps and controller.
Finally.... Perhaps some good news on the SCT X-2, now X-3 front......
FINALLY got to talk to Adam. Like Bill said he cut me a break. I'm looking at 100-150 to get it re-flashed to stock by the dealer, re-tuned with the X-3 on the rollers/dyno. Since I'm down there another 100 bucks will get me a relocated IAT sensor after the intercooler and he'll tune for that.
I should see a better more consistent tune and perhaps a little more power since the computer won't be reading a hotter IAT than what the engine really sees.
Bad part, if it can be called that, is it won't happen until late Oct or 1st week Nov because of my vacation. Still at least it's something and it isn't the 500-600 bucks I was preparing myself for.

Glad to hear Adam's working with you and it will only cost $150. Out of curiousity why didn't they just install the IAT sensor there originally?
For the HP target that we're after, the BAP does the job, and does it reliably. What do you think most everyone was using pre-GT500 days in high HP applications?
Besides, they'll be removing the radiator for the Vortech install, so the Fluidyne install will be free... kinda like my header deal.
And since you're a ebay surfer, keep a lookout for a 3.0" pulley for me.
Good deal Brian.

I may have popped a kernel or two.
I have to agree with Jed on getting the BAP. With the money saved (on not getting the pumps and added install labor cost), you can get the Fluidyne.

Leo, I was seeing around 11psi at 6500rpm or so. Just depends on certain things......
Let me try to find it locally again, if not I'll get back to you- THANKS!!!
That there is a good idea... the Saleen blower has it built right into one of the intake runners, right before the cylinder head.
