I have a motor that makes 340hp-370tq to the wheels on a Dyno Jet Naturally Aspirated. That was on 10.25/1 comp. Holleysystemax upper and lower/AFR 185's/custom cam/327 stock block with a main stud girdle. I used to use Nitrous but i'm sick of paying all that $$ to fill the bottles. I have been looking at just about all of the blower options availababe for my combo. I thought I had it all figured out until I talked for about an hour on the phone with Rick Anderson. You see I'm putting in Cometic Head gaskets to lower the compression slightly.(9.5 -9.8) Rick says that I should buy a Vortech S-Trim instead of the Novi 2000 because it will make more power with my engines RPM range. He also stated that I should put the 2.95 and 7 pulley for the right amount of boost and change over to a PRo-M Meter with 42 lbs inj. I wanted larger ones put he told me that having an intank 255 pump with an in-line T-rex should be enough. If I wanted to go bigger I really should change my fuel tank, lines, rails etc.(at least $1000) He said that people do use use 50 and 55 injectors and some last forever, some last a little time, but the majority end up blowing head gaskets and stuff. He told me to instead go with the 42's buy the P.M.S. and use the Mr. Freeze kit. (Similiar to the Snow Kit.) He said I can tune it without the freeze at around 500h.p., and then switch the tune with the Mr. Freeze kit and make upward of 500-600h.p. His theory is that when you inject the methanol and water into the intake tract to cool it off you can add more timing and pull out fuel. Therefore you wont be taxing your fuel system. Also when you run out of methanol and water the P.M.S. reads it and automatically changes back to the less timing more fuel setting. BTW he said one bottle last's about 1 minute under full throttle, and the rest of the time it isn't hardly used. The thing is it's so freakin cheap!!!! The sytem is under $200 and the methanol and water cost about $2.00 for two fill ups. A lot cheaper if you buy it in bulk. O.K. Here is my question: Everyone elso I talked to said spending $899 on a P.M.S is stupid. You can just tune it with the FMU and MSD timing controler. How do you guys tune your cars???? Do you burn chips??? Use Stand-alones?? Use Piggy backs like the P.M.S.? If you do use the P.M.S. do you like it? I would like to do this but he makes $$$ off of what he sells and you guys don't!!!! Anyone have some pro or cons!!!!!! Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff Mitchell:)
P.S.
Anyone seen or use that new Valley Girdle for the top of the motors that is supposed to strengthen the block?(Stock BLocks)They are $200 but if it really works I'm down!!!! Check out the site: http://www.horsepowersales.net/
Thanks, and have a great day!!!!
