And here's where I am now. I sold the Vortech V2 E-trim. The car ran great and made good power, but the E-trim is a small blower and a little sluggish making boost. I was spinning the blower to 63k rpm with a 10% lower and 2.9 Griptec upper with no belt slip, and the car would only see around 13ish psi max. Only 9 or 10 psi at 6000rpm. It was fun for sure and pulled hard but my car is set up for a lot more boost. I have the bottom end, heads/cams, intake, intercooler, and fuel system to support it. I wanted to take advantage of that and make a little more power and put on a good street friendly blower. I found a used Vortech T-trim on Facebook marketplace and jumped on it. Once I got it, I immediately sent it to Vortech and had them rebuild it with H/D bearings, re-polish it, and upgrade it to Ti-trim. Surprisingly, they're now putting billet impellers in their H/D Ti blowers now. I think it should be a perfect match for the car. I'm going to keep the same 10%/2.9 pulley setup and overspin the Ti from the start. I'm thinking it may fall in the 18-20 psi range and hopefully 600whp+
I've also had a 6061 upper plenum on the shelf for a while now. I sent it off to be polished and figured I would throw it on the car while doing the blower swap. The 6061 plenum I have (Which used to be on Mike's car "97stanger"), has no provisions on the front of it. It has all of the bungs welded on the back of the plenum. Since I'm still factory ECU, I wanted to keep the factory IAC, so that meant doing an IAC relocation, and using one of the bungs on the back of the plenum. There are no companies that I could find that still make the IAC relocation adapters, so I made my own. I bought a chunk of aluminum off of McMaster.com and cut it to shape, and tapped it for fittings. I made a bracket, painted it black, and mounted to my catch can mount. It kind of disappears back there.
