If you are running stock pistons at 700 rwhp and only pump gas 93 octane I wouldn't be surprised if it blows up on the street. Do you have meth injection to get the octane up?

I've seen stock non-boosted LS7s blow up at the road course from oil starvation and some from detonation. Road course laps are usually the hardest form of driving for any cars setup.

I was looking at putting meth on her but have not yet. This will help to cool the piston some, correct?

Josh@AandASuperchargers

Meth is typically used for raising the octane and cooling the incoming air for a denser mixture. Not for cooling the coolant temps.

Road course guys usually need big radiator, big fans, and air tight duct work to run cool enough on track days. Most of the serious guys stay N/A for steady road course racing.

One of the touted benefits to running some water in the mix is lowering cylinder / piston temps yes. I blew up my NA LS6 on the track, cracked piston. I think from all the heat, the piston ring gap closed up and cracked off a chunk of piston (my theory anyways). I had no knock, just too much heat, I think some water would have helped a lot in my case. Engine cooling is a whole separate thing and all posted info is true.... heat is going to be bad with the engine making a lot more power and potentially an intercooler blocking radiator flow, etc etc. Adding significant power only makes cooling that much more difficult unfortunately.

I have twin radiators. prior to the SC it ran so cool my heat wouldn't warm under normal conditions. I wouldn't hit 200 degrees on track. Is there a way to cool it now ?

Twin radiators? How does that work?

TDAWG62

One in front of the other. Increases the cooling area for your system. Works quite well.

Thinking of swapping in an ls2 but now I'm thinking my ls1 brackets won't work. 6.0 iron block, 317 heads, ls6 intake, ls1 tb, all accessories from ls1.

Josh@AandASuperchargers

Just need to bring the LS1 water pump over to work on the LS2. That way your C5 bracket still works with the C5 water pump.

Do you guys sell just the pipes and couplings etc for the ram air IC?

Josh@AandASuperchargers

Yes give us a call at the shop. 805-278-4107

How involved is swapping a smaller pulley on my brand new V3 Ti kit? Builder installed the 4” but I’d like to go to 3.8” because I’m in Colorado and not making enough boost (7psi max currently). I’d pay someone to do it and retune so wondering how many shop hours and anything else I need besides the pulley? Smaller belt needed?

Josh@AandASuperchargers

You will need the pulley and smaller belt for it. Some guys swap it themselves and then just take it in for the Tuning.

RockyMtC5

is it an easy swap? I thought I read you have to heat it up to remove (and may need a puller to remove)..... and I would just rather have it done right than f'ing it up myself

I had the same questions for my V3Si when I went from 3.8 to 3.6 two weeks ago. It was easy. It helps to have a heat source like heat gun when installing the new pully, but getting the pully off the head unit just takes an impact gun and something to hold the pully. I used a strap wrench but a good solid hand grip might have worked but it was only me doing it at the time. It will come right off without a puller. Just make sure the spacer and key go back in......

Sent you an email Josh but if you want to look at my issue you can see the thread that i ve created:

Posted on your thread, it's normal.

Installed V3 Ti head unit, 3.8” pulley, IW 10% OD balancer, A&A dual external fuel pump system and tuned on e85. Car does have a mild cam, not a blower cam, and made 715rwhp/632rwtq.

Very happy with results and the car is a beast! No belt slip I’m aware of and drive ability is like it was before FI.

Thanks A&A!!! And my tuner!!!

do you know the amount of boost and timing?

Cee5zee

I am making 10lbs of boost. I do not know the timing
