I know it's easier to push build out the door and make money faster than drawing out a long install on a port system setup if you have done many on Gen V stuff. But I'm just looking out for the customers wallet just like when I hear ARH over other competitors that's nuts when there are other brands that work just fine. Its money related, Uwe Ostmann came by Sorian's about the time I was making the decision between it and Port Matt was gonna give me a deal just so he could check out the system I could of bought in really cheap but port was proven and I wasn't risking it since the LPE stuff fell short. theoretically 10% mark up on TSP or like 60 bucks but 10% mark up on ARH is 300 bucks it makes perfect sense if your in business I get it. I know the mark up on XDI so I know im right.

I wouldn't expect anyone to understand what I deal with on a daily basis nor what I have learned being in business over 35 years.

I see the feedback when shops freak out because they don't recognize aftermarket parts or what they do.

So it is much harder to find someone willing or knowledgeable to work on your car when you have what could be called a Unique system.

So the KISS method has a lot of Merit.

Thanks, we'll soon release of our R1740 LT4 SC plate system that will fit otherwise stock vehicles (stock valve covers and stock coil location). This should work with LT1/LT4 - Whipple, Maggie 2300, Stock 1740 Supercharger, and NA intake manifolds.

Thanks, I do have a 2.9 on my DD as well

Will it require cutting of the hood like the ones for the Magnusson? On a ZL1

I'm going to sell carbon inserts much like the lingenfelter one that is if there is a need price will be 325 shipped. So cutting the hood will no big deal as long as you cut on the template.

This way you can run lid spacers and injector spacer. Or even FI chiller spacers w toohighpsi spacers and a lid spacer.

Don't know yet, as we've only test fitted Maggie's with the plates so far, but we'll have that information soon.

[EDFHOBBIES]

They work w an oem blower w different valve covers.

So I've about talked myself into the 1k combo from XDI that includes the big bore and +30's for a very good price. Add a hellcat in tank and DSX low side and should be good with a hi lobe cam on E something.

My 1st question is how high 38,40,42? Also, I'm tempted to go with more cu in for low street boost like 14 but with a boost controller so I can turn it up.

2nd question more cu in requires more fuel so should I stay away from a 427 or a 416? Remember 5200 lbs 4wd race weight with twins so I'd like the bigger engine if feasible and there is not THAT much difference in prices from 6.2 to 416. 427 about 2k more.

[KingLT1]

If you get a big bore pump then you might as well get a 42% lobe to make use of it. Stock cubes is all you need with boost. 416 or 427ci engines have yet to prove they run any faster with boost. You end up with more low end torque which I don't think stock cube LT engines lack any in that department.

[ZO6Ted]

King I was just thinking for the street out of boost it may be more fun to drive with more low end because that would be it's main purpose anyway. A weekend driver on the prowl. I mainly just cruise around and don't beat on my stuff unless there is a decent challenge. Would it have enough fuel with more cubes? I'm not spending 11-12k on fueling lol.

[KingLT1]

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with going bigger cubes. You can run less boost, make similar power, and have a fatter torque curve which I could see being a bonus for a heavy truck or suv.

But this video here kind of supports what I was trying to say. Note the Camaro owner purchased the LT5 rotating assembly from the ZR1 owner for his build, then beats the ZR1 that went with a 416.

This is ShizzySupra's 6th gen.

To your point King, and assuming the blower to support both, I think a 376 that turns 7000 can probably take down a 416 that is limited by piston speed to 6500 or so. Horsepower is merely torque over time so you can definitely make up for a slightly smaller motor by spinning harder. The 5.0 guys do this well! The bigger stroked motor’s increased low end torque simply makes it harder to hook up with no big payoff at the top end. Just my 2 cents of course, but your video backs up what you’ve been saying all along.

[ZO6Ted]

Thanks guys, enjoyed that vid lol. Point made! Back to question 2 though would I even have enough fuel for a stroker anyway since CR port is mia. I'm having the same supply issues in my AC business so I get it. I have definitely entertained just doing drop-ins on the existing 5.3 but it gives up a ton on head flow so I'd need probably 20lbs to run hard and then there's the lack of out of boost torque for my plus size girl. Sure would be less $$ but I'm prepared to spend. Just not frivolously. Heck I could buy a C5 for not much more that a big DI fuel system.

[scantone]

I've been working on my setup for about 6 months now due to supply issues, but I'm almost done

Dw400 in stock tank feeding surge tank

1.5 gallon surge tank in trunk with 3 dw400 pumps

Stock tank and 1 surge pump run full time

2 surge pumps kick on under boost

-10an line all the way to stock high pressure pump

+32 cam

-10 line to xdi belt driven pump

+30 injectors

-8an line from regulator back to the surge tank

Should be good for full e85 lol!
