3- what psi and hp numbers does forged internals come into play?
I see people referring me to a $7k Maggy setup saying it's the best thing since sliced bread while running a $1500 HPFP with lt4 injectors, and it comes out to a lot more than I am looking at with the D1 setup and possible LT4 upgrade.
I would like to leave a few bucks in my pocket for other things, like buying the woman something nice. I was given the "oh, sweet, okay" to do some mods, we all know that's code for "don't forget to spend money on me too."  |
Nobody can tell you where your fuel pump will run out, cause it varies from car to car. I have seen them run out at 550rwhp, I have seen them hang on till 630 rwhp. Just depends on the car.
Now that being said, you have to be honest with yourself on where your modifications will go, and do you really NEEEED a larger blower?
Example, I have a customer that knew he would NEVER build the motor. He did however know that he would do a cam someday. (which happened to be 6 months after the blower) So he picked a P1X for that reason.
Car made killer power with just the blower only.
Then he added a mild "stage 2" camshaft, and a meth kit.
He isn't an "internet guy" doesn't even have a facebook. But even without a kill tune, or great air the car is a bottom 10 second daily driver. (stock converter, and stuff) But is a legit car that runs well, and doesn't break the bank.
No intake manifold changes, No headers, No mufflers, nothing.
A blower kit, camshaft, and meth.
Now can you do something like a D1SC (good hard hitting blower down low) and the full LT4 fuel system? Absolutely. He just chose to do the cam and meth to accomplish his fueling goals, and the added airflow/power.
