Help with my build

SCCAMAROSS · 12-12-2019, 12:44 PM

So after careful consideration I have decided to go the F/I route. I am going to assemble all the pieces and parts so as to spread out the cost over a few months and then take it up to Brett at Pray for install and tuning. I already bought the Whipple during the black friday sale. My goal is high 600's in HP, but still maintain street manners. Here is what I am looking at:

Whipple S/C
LT4 high side and low side
LT4 injectors
TSP Headers
NW 103 TB
Big Gulp Rotofab CAI
New plugs and wires
JMS Fuel pump volt booster
Possibly Alky Meth injection with trunk tank
Pray performance tune
Borla Axleback NPP exhaust

What am I missing and any other suggestions?
Thanks

LS3 crank seal and some sort of catch can system with a breather.

also not 100% necessary but good to have is a Wideband Gauge and something like an Aeroforce Interceptor so you can keep tabs on things like, IAT's, Air/Fuel, Boost, Rail Pressure, etc.

Assuming you'll be getting HPTuners as well so you can do datalogging.

I would save your money on the LT4 low side pump and just do a DSX auxiliary pump. A catch can is a good investment to at that power level. KingLT1 makes a good point with the LS3 front seal but we generally don't need those under 700rwhp with a good catch can. We've seen these seals blow out oil but only in extreme cases.

Nice build by the way. Should be tons of fun.

I have the Mishimoto Catch can, that I have not installed yet, that I bought before I decided to go the blower route. Will this catch can still work with a blower?

True but If the balancer has to come off then the seal should get replaced imo. Silly not too for a 20.00 part that takes 10 minutes to change?

Yes I run it with a metco valve cover breather. The Mighty Mouse unit is a all-in-one solution. You can slot the holes in the Mishi bracket and keep it in the same location as the Whipple IC fill port.

Yep these seals are a problem and lots of us have pushed them out for one reason or another. Put one in the first time as its cheap insurance.

I'd add an E85 sensor to the mix unless you're opposed to running e. If you're sticking with 93, you could probably get by on the LT1 fueling with those mods. I had basically the 2300 Maggie equivalent of your build. I made 586/568 and the low and high side held up fine.
