3800 will I need snout machining for A 2.8"

[LP 3800]

Well, now that the IC is pumping this 3.0" is getting boring, even with the happy knob What size pulley are most people running with the IC's? I want to make a good balance between timing and boost, so I do not want to get too small to where I cannot advance like hell still. Thanks for your help

the 2.8 is good, but that is it. you can not go lower than that with a stock snout. i will show you when we meet up. also, you will want to get a 68.0 belt if you dont have one already.

i ran the 2.6 for along while but then i put the 2.8 back on because there was no diff in boost #s.

Can you run a straight IC setup without any supporting mods and still go with a 3.0" or lower pulley? Of do you still need mods such as Ported Man, Headers, Exhaust, etc..

I saw someone put on a I/C withOUT a ported mani, and didnt see the gains he'd like....get the PORTED MANIFOLD!!!!or do it yourself..

headers really not needed, but id recommend some kind of exhaust work.

im starting to think bigger injectors are strting to be needed.

HTHs

ya someone was really mad h34r:

This summer I am thinking of going the Ported Manifold + 2.5" or 3" Downpipe w/high flow cat route while keeping the stock exhaust..I was just curious if it was possible to run such a small pulley with just an IC and nothing else without blowing the motor up..

If I were to get the mani's + the downpipe do you know if Jim (At the new exhaust shop he works at) would be able to do both?? Or does he just do the downpipe. Also I've read the horror stories on hard it is to install headers, is it the same for manifolds also?

Latah!

I've ran a 2.7 without machining down my snout.

I thought you were talking about the "INTAKE" manifold. Ported intake manifold is a "MUST"..IMHO.


Ported headers"exhaust", will be just fine.

 

[LP 3800]

Bumpin, I sent you a message with the answers you need.
Thanks for everyones help. Message me with any questions any one has about the intercooler. Just so I don't miss it in a forum somewhere.

my mods:IC, FWI, and exhaust. i ran a 13.6@101 with a 3.0. so no, you do not need anything else to support the IC or a smaller pulley. it does its job all by itself.

 

[LP 3800]

I also agree about the injectors. Mine are pretty much maxed out and I only have a 3.0" I will have to bereal careful with a 2.8 that is soon to come
