Just sold my car so I no longer need this. Lund nGauge w/ magnetic vent mount. The nGauge is married and cannot be unlocked, so it is only good as a data logging device/gauge pod. Asking $280 shipped OBO.
Any idea how your engine blew? Roush or aftermarket tune?
Anyways, for what its worth, Lund always recommends sticking with the stock Gen 3 compression ratio (12:1)but I’m thinking that’s with E85 readily available.
What are your goals?
If you want something this summer, go with the Odin. It’s a solid setup that’s very comparable to the Whipple until you start pushing 4 digit horsepower. It’s going to have a little more low end grunt on paper, but probably not noticeable.
I just don’t believe the boost numbers that they rate their pulleys. There’s not a single supercharged setup out there that makes 700+ RWHP on 7 psi. Do either of you have a boost gauge?
The sizes were just stated as a point of reference as to what comes with the base kits @ what PSI. Obviously Procharger uses a different step up AND a larger crank pulley (Stage 2).
Doesn’t seem common but heres one. There’s been several on S550 Facebook groups, but I hate digging through them. Seems like mostly Whipple cars for whatever reason.
The standard pulley with the Vortech is 3.6” on a shared drive (10-11 PSI on an aftermarket tune). Procharger generally sends a 4.75 (8.5 psi) with their Stage 2 P1X kits unless you specify otherwise, which is a dedicated drive with a larger crank pulley. The step up ratios between the blowers...
Boost is boost. Blower efficiency doesn’t matter for what we’re talking about.
Eh, I’m going to trust the big tuners. 9.5 is very safe on 93 with good fuel. Maybe they’re thinking with 91? I’m going to guess Kevin is pushing 10-11 lbs based off his dyno.
That’s really strange they would say that, especially for a blower comparable in flow to the P1X. The Vortech V3/Paxton 2200SL are pushing 10-11 psi on the tuner kits @ around 7500 RPM on the standard 3.6 pulley. The stock procharger pulley (4.75) is about 8.5-9 psi on stock manifolds. 10-12 PSI...
Oh cool that’s very good to hear. Keep this thread updated if anything changes. I’m pulling the trigger very shortly here...just can’t decide on which kit! They both have their advantages/disadvantages.
Did you ever get the ACC figured out? This is why I am hesitant on going with a Vortech/Paxton kit honestly. Seems as though the PC intercooler(s) clear just fine.
I have this setup and it sounds mostly great. Normal mode is a little “tinny”, but track mode completely eliminates it without being obnoxious. Quiet mode is still super quiet and my preferred morning drive mode.
