Will V2 SQ trim be enough?

[97stanger]

Well here is what I currently have:

97 GT block bored .20
forged internals (9.5:1)
MMR stage 3 PI heads
CMS stage 3 blower cams
edelbrock port matched victor jr manifold
10% od pulley
complete 8 rib setup
Vortech V2 SQ trim
Paxton fmic
power pipe
bolt ons
This is through a built auto w/ high stall converter as well


I was originally going to go right for the T trim upgrade..but do you think with enough boost and the right pulley size I can hit atleast 500rwhp with my SQ trim? If so, what 8 rib pulley size blower pulley should I be looking at? I have read that the SQ trim pretty much reaches its peak at about 16psi

sq is not a trim, its a marketing term for the v-2 housing which had helical cut gears... sq = super quiet

 

[LAFENATU]

Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake for a 2V?

 

[97stanger]

okay, so its an S trim sq model. and yes edelbrock victor jr efi

 

[modo]

should be able to reach the goal you want

 

[97stanger]

I think so too, and I'm thinking like a 2.85 8 rib blower pulley

 

[modo]

2.85 pulley i doubt you will have enough belt wrap to not have a slipping belt.

I'm glad you're going with an 8 rib setup! I can definitely see it hitting 500

I just got my boostbrothers kit yesterday from a buddy of mine. Fitment was good then, should be good now. Im excited as hell about putting it on. Even saved me a dime it already having a large red 12lb spring in it.

lol not a clue ^
but I already have my SQ SI upgrade back

 

[1996mustangGT]

If you dont mind me asking how much was it for the upgrade to the SI trim? s

 

[97stanger]

well I got the SI upgrade, a 2.95 8 rib pulley, and a new oil feed pick up tube. all of that was $500 shipped to my door.

do the 8 rib pulley saw, and don't listen to anyone else... i'm running a 2.95 pulley on a d1sc and i get tons of belt slippage with the 8 rib i can't imagine a 6 rib pulley setup. also go with a RR pulley they really do work wonders.. =D

and if you haven't gotten all your 8 rib pulleys yet i recommend going with this

i got my kit through him and it's well worth the money and he's a great guy. takes all the guess work out of it

Wow your setup is almost identical to mine:

MMR 1100 shortblock (9.6:1)
MHS ported heads
VT stage 3 blower cams
P.I. manifold
complete 8 rib setup
Paxton Novi 2000
Paxton fmic
power pipe
bolt ons
Through a stock T45

blown98gt:
I'm already a step ahead of the game:

LOL, complete BGG 8 rib converstion (minus blower pulley I already have 8 rib 2.95,crank pulley I already have IW 10% od crank, and I bought my AC/WP/PS pulley from a webiste because i got it about $100 cheaper and they are the exact same part)


Wow bottlefed, almost identical, everything together yet??
