This is the second place I've seen advertise this kit. Isn't it essentially the same thing as the Coyote? If this kit has been engineered/tested - why doesn't anyone post any results before putting a kit out there? I seems that, with most of these kits, the car has barely turned a roller and the kits are available for sale.

I guess what I'm saying is that I'd need a LOT more information and durability testing before bolting a system up to a $20k+ engine.

because this is a tuner kit numbers will depend on the tune.

I agree it seems that there are a lot of FI kits coming out for the car with little to no documented info. At least hellion ran a video. Lethal showed the Whipple early, but it is all but awol lately.

Unlikely. Vortech has never marketed a blower that didn't produce a ton of power. It's pretty easy to calculate. If, for example, it runs 5 psi of boost, ie. 0.35 bar, the engine will produce roughly 35% more power, regardless of who makes the blower.

I'd just worry about longevity. Most of us are aware of the cast OPG gear. My fear is the added stress my explode that gear and take out the motor. I believe the engine is about 20k and right now I believe supply is short.

I've also read that these motors are pretty much at their limit at this point and adding FI is just going to stress the engine further.

As you can see from my signature, I'm a big fan of FI but I'm not willing to take this chance until we get more long term data on the motors reliability. The secondary reason I will not go FI is my PT warranty.

The head unit seems a bit high. I assume it will fit under the stock hood?

I agree :cheers: I see way too many engine failed threads just here alone to steer me away from FI. There's a small percentage of GT350 owners on this forum so imagine all the ones we don't hear about!

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but forums usually over-index on issues and failures - meaning there's a greater proportion of people reporting issues in forums than the actual proportion / chance of issues across all of the cars produced.

I'm sure there's maybe one or two people out there that have a motor failure and they don't go online to rant or talk about it, but especially for a car like the GT350 - I'd say most do. And the ~3-5 engine failures we've seen probably represent close to 90% of all engine failures so far. That's a tenth of a percent (0.1%) failure rate for 8k-ish cars made so far.

How would you compare this to the Whipple Stage1?

Oil pump gears are easy to install on a 5.0. I know the pickup and pan are different but it's not that big of a deal to do. I have no interest of a supercharger but in the near future I plan on building a 700hp NA voodoo. And you can bet I'll be doing billet OPG. If not sooner.

This engine needs more low end TQ than Centri S/C can offer. *IF* I were to add F/I to this engine, it would be either a PD or TT.

However, I read somewhere that, this engine was not designed for F/I in mind and it's best to be driven in N/A mode.

I love when people make comments on cars they never driven or owned.
