Blower to arrive in 1½ weeks

[mikev08826]

Sup all. New here. I've just placed an order on this kit. Thing is...I just noticed it doesn't come w/ a MAF. I really don't want to run the stock, nor do I want to spend another $350 on a new one. Would it be benneficial to upgrade to a MAF that was callibrated for 30 # injectors?

Edit: blower is goin on a 2000 GT

You don't need the maf upgrade. The tune corrects everything. The kit comes with 38 lb injectors already.

You can upgrade the maf, but there is no point until you plan on making more boost. Which I wouldn't do unless I had the aftercooler or a built motor.

If you did want a bigger maf you would get one that is calibrated to your stock injectors so it does not mess up the vortech tune.

Welcome to the site.

If you need any help with the install let me know. I'm in the tinley park area some weekends. But I live up on the north side.

Tunes calibrate all, stop listening to that Pushrod hooha about MAFs for certain injectors.

Your tune will work fine with the stock MAF and the 38lb injectors included with the kit.

Get bigger injectors and ditch the FMU when it comes time for a tune...

No FMU on a 99+

Returnless fuel system. It's all handled in the tune. And 38 lb injectors are fine until he does more upgrades.

Don't feel bad bro, I had to get another AC compressor. I got that 6 rib PS pump pulley for you though.

Uuuum, the link he posted had a Vortech kit on it.

I'll be :headbang: the vortech v2. Iddy biddy booster. Figured a good one to start with, nice install, nice price, nice on my t-45 that I REALLY don't want to have to replace after spending $4,000 on all this stuff.

I've been talking with larry @ speed inc. about getting my 3.73 installed and my first tune. You guys recommend them?

you will NEED a MAF or you will peg yours... you should have bought the tuner kit and nixed the inj etc from them and purchased seperate 42lbs inj and a new MAF.. i would recommend a lightning meter or a SCT BA-2400 which i stock.

thanks bob

sure. Why not? Good to 400, maybe a bit over.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Just curious... then again, a motor is a consumable good.

 

[rocket5979]

If you only plan to run the stock shortblock then no need for the cams and all that yet. You can hit 450 on that S-trim no problem and still not have cams in there. The S-trim will be enough to split your stocker SB, no need for cams to make it happen faster.
