I am thinking about going to Brenspeed around Christmas time to get a s/c installed but don't know which one to get. I want to get a gt500 fuel pump and the extreme intake, but I know the boost is too much for a stock block. What do you guys think of putting a 3.2 or 3.4 pulley and belt on until I get a built longblock?

 

That is exactly what I did...... I call it the "3.5" system hahahaa. Call them and tell them you want the tom281 system, except without the cams.

I have the GT500 fuel system, had the extreme intake (recently upgraded to the ultimate intake system and MAF), and 3.2 pulley. Other supporting mods that I can think of off-hand are offroad H pipe, Borla mufflers, Saleen water pump pulley, Steeda belt tensioner, and of course their custom tune. Before the ultimate intake and cams, I made a strong 450/450 HP/TQ to the tires..... with the ultimate intake and blower cams, I am making 501/455 to the tires and am debating on either de-tuning it or moving up to a 3.4 pulley.

Any questions, let me know........ thanks.

 

Back it down Tom. That car of your's is getting way to fast.

 

hahahahaa Rich I wish I lived closer to you, I'd let you have it for a week......

 

Tom you've gotta push the limits!! And hey look on the bright side- If you do end up blowing the engine you'll have your own thread titled " How much Power HP/TQ will Tom281's car make ?"

 

Too funny sorry

 

Mother Love Bone, thats a band I havent heard for a looong time. Shame how some hidden talents die so soon. On the bright side, Temple of the Dog would of never happened, which is one of the best albums in the last 20 years. Sorry to hijack and veer off topic.

 

LOL, at 501 rwhp I am not going to make anymore, the limits of my motor have been pushed to the max!
+1


MLB's album is incredible, one of my favorites over the last 20 years. And you're absolutely right, Andrew Wood's untimely death days before the album's release spurred the collaboration of Temple of the Dog, because one of Wood's roommates was Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and of course MLB already had the guitarist and bassist that later went on to form Pearl Jam. From one great band (MLB), two others are created.....


Anyway, back on topic.

 

I talked to Dave at Brenspeed and ran into a problem with my aftermarket hood so I am going to get the paxton 2200 intercooled kit.

 

The Paxton kit runs consistent 11 second times......... not a bad choice by any means!

 

I'm sure I will like it. I have to say that Dave is very knowledgable and helpful, I am really looking forward to getting getting the paxton installed and seeing my car on the dyno.
