I've reading on this board for a while now, but still new to actually post. I just purchased an S-Trim kit for my 90' 5.0 Mustang. The kit is complete minus discharge tube and T-Rex.
I wanted to see if you guys have some advice for me:
- I talked to a guy with Vortech's help line, and when I asked him about using an in-tank pump, he said that the T-Rex is a must. I was thinking of using a Walbro 255 in-tank instead...shouldn't that be enough to not worry about the T-Rex? This is a mild bolt-on only car, and I'm thinking the 255 would be plenty, am I wrong?
- I was thinking of making my own disharge tube, and I would like to hear from some of you guys that have done the same...any pictures and/or resources you could point me to for tips would be greatly appreciated! The kit still has the orignial blow-off valve, just missing the actual tube itself.
Just some background: I've been doing a lot of homework, but I'm still new to forced induction (this will be my first blower car). However, I've been building on hot rods of all flavors for about 20 years, including several ground-up resto's on muscle cars, several years of bracket racing, couple years of fastest street car racing in the NMCA (until I got wiped by the cost), and currently on my 7th 5.0 Mustang....used to have an LX coupe with a big stroker/nitrous motor that ran in the low 9's (about 8 years ago)....I figure it's time to start learning about chargers on these cars, always been interested, but just now getting on the ball with it.
Thanks for any other advice you guys can provide!
