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

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

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.

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
