FI Build Idea

wow, that is a lot easer then i was making it out to be! my thought process was totally nuking the idea

[BIG CAT]

well not doing enough research before buying has kinda bit me in the ass! looks like i will be with the P1 w/8rib set up for a wile. just going to get a smaller pulley (4" or 3.7"). i just don't have the extra to shell out for the SC upgrade and the 12rib pulleys and new main bracket.

we are making 21 psi out of a ysi with a 8 rib belt. we are at the top limit of the belts strength. 8.5" lower and a 2.75" upper. you should be fine with a 8 rib setup. go with the head studs. it is more accurate than a bolt.

LOL, see? It's not as tough as you thought. I think the first time around I was explaining the same thing, just didn't do a very good job and just confused you further.

BTW, as far as check valves are concerned, you can get them all over online. Most of them don't have a psi capacity posted. Don't worry about that. I took a really small check valve off the vacuum lines off my takout motor (my original motor I pulled) and tried to blow out the diaphragm by pressurizing the closed side of the check valve with over 100 psi on my air compressor. No dice (no blowout/destruction/FML feeling). So, just get whatever diaphragm check valves you want, just be sure to get one with big enough barbs on it so you can have decent size hoses on it. That thing will move a LOT of air under boost.

So parts i have,
Supercharger (P1sc)
AFR 210 heads
full valve train minus cam and push rods
Headers on the way?
340lph Fuel Pump
cash for short block, Dec time frame heading home to IL and going to stop by Clayton Racing
cash to send heads/intake to LE

still debating on a LE cam or cam suggested by Clayton
just about have cash for EFI 24x (that will be ordered by Nov)
CXRacing FMIC order when build is closer to being done


i am still debating on using my stock 93intake or getting a LT4 (either real or Airgap)

i just need to hurry up and home so i can start really ordering all my parts and get them all ready. im shooting to have it done and race worthy for the shoot out next year.

^ Did you order your headers already? If not, I can cut you a sweet deal on old headers and Y-pipe. Depending on where you are in IL, I could even try to swing them out to you to save on shipping.

[CamaroZGuy]

yes, i allready have a set of headers. came across a good deal on a set of like new with y-pipe.

[CamaroZGuy]

well i placed the first order from jegs today, AFPR, AN fittings and lines for trans, ARP bolts and some new gaskets....car will at least be drivable wile i build the new motor over winter and spring. next things to order will be the EFI 24x and Meth kit (Snow performance). Planing to have it on the rollers by late spring early summer, and diled in at the track by the shootout.

[CamaroZGuy]

awesomeness! i just picked up a true LT4 intake (#12550631) for cheep!
