How much BOOST W/ 8" asp Pulley ?

[Goliath5.0]

If you want to do the FMU thing, get a 6:1 calibration disc setup for it, which is the correct calibration for your injectors.

30# injectors: FMU w/ 6:1 calibration discs, fuel pressure vac off 40-42+ psi (depending on how much your car likes/disklikes fuel pressure)

12:1 FMU w/ 30# injectors = soon to have a very light wallet :(

im running the stock fuel system with a adj fpr.. set at 35lbs with the vacuum off...and the fmu paxton gave me...am i safe

what are your mods? @ what psi of boost is this for?

Is you car stock with just a supercharger? or...?

Thanks,

468LC- is your MAM still in the engine bay? or in the fender? when you had it in the engine bay, did you have any problems with the car such as studdering?

[468LC]

I guess technically you could say it's half in and half out but the filter is inside of the fender and all the holes in the inner fender have been blocked off to keep the heat out of the fender.

The car runs fine with the filter in the engine bay or in the fender but when it's inside the engine bay the car will run for about 10 minutes and then lose about 50hp and become a total dog from ingesting massive quanities of hot air. In the fender it makes way more hot power when the engine bay is heatsoaked.

what kinda of piping did you use? i wanna try it too because my car seems to break up some when it heats up and im trying anything that i can to stop it from happening. thanks for the pic too!

Hang on I'll go get the close up pic.:)

[green93notch]

thanks!

I can't find the close up at the moment but all I did was take a 3" long peice of 3"OD tubing that I use to make the dishcarge tubes. Then I took my factory MAF to throttle body tube and cut the 45* portion out of it. I put the MAF into that. I had to slightly enlarge the old hole in the inner fender. I tell you though this is harder to explain with precision than it is to do.:(

I would run a power pipe but I need the ability to put the filter back in the engine bay quickly for RAIN ops.

[green93notch]

yea rain is no good for a power pipe right? cause water will get on the filter?

It is even worse for my car since my plastic wheel well liners are modified for the extended wheel base from my tube K member. I have been cought in the rain more than once and when she finally starts getting water on the MAF elements she starts to shut down. :D

LOL at minor thread hi jacking.:bonk:

[green93notch]

lol yea we are, but i need help too with my car. :( i just cant figure out what would cause my car to break up around 2k RPMs and sometimes under load. the only thing that i can think of is the heat from the blower cause its right up on it. you didnt use the heat sheild i see. do you have a bypass valve?

I have no issues with my power pipe when its raining. I do have my inner fenders in place tho.

GREEN93:

As for your car breaking up @ 2K rpm thats a strange problem.

You shouldnt be into boost yet so it cant be spark blowout, Does the problem clear up at all or does it stay running like crap?
