How much power can these heartbeat blowers make. Ls9 blowers make 8-900 from what I been seeing.

 

Good stuff!! Can't wait to see what it does with the new cam and bigger lower pulley. Keep us posted.
Then all you need is that bigger snout and 108mm throttle body!
That arrangement still sounds like a good deal to me!
Been a while since I've paid for a "smile" though...!

 

It looks like the Vette HB system is pulley limited to just under 700whp with a cam and stock heads on stock bottom end LS3.
On a built motor with the Camaro pulley system and a big overdrive lower and meth, I think the system could make around 1000hp. IIRC , Lingenfelter made 950ish on a built motor with this blower.

 

What gauges do you think I need to have for this setup.
What is the must-have? What brands?

 

I was about to say might as well purchase an LS9 blower and get a lower plenum made, much cheaper imo.

I've looked into the LS9 blower, and it ends up being crazy expensive. You need the ZR1 accessories and brackets plus a bunch of other parts. Then you end up with a blower that isn't as good as the Heartbeat ( though capable of more power via pulley choices). You'll also need a new hood.

The only problem with the C6 Heartbeat setup is that the shaft diameter limits pulley sizing. That means about 13 psi with an overdrive crank pulley. In that realm, it's fantastic.

 

That's just terriable, I guess just run it off the shaft and cut grooves into it lmao probably good for 20psi.

What do I need to keep an eye on ?

 

I usually have commanded AFR, actual AFR (from wideband), knock retard and boost on the DIC at the same time via dash logic.

 

What brand are you using?

Btr has one in stock and 10% off?

 

You are going to hit your horsepower goal or be close on install.

The way to go. I have logged over 350K on Eaton twin screw superchargers nd ill bet there are some with much more than that.
We all too often see "rebuilt head unit" when folks discuss or try to sell their centrifugal blowers.
(Id love to have either though: any forced induction is great)

On my 06 z06
With the E-Force and the second step smaller pulley I am at about 687/722 at the wheels on a stock motor. The car made about 416rwhp stock. This is why if you are at the mid 400's now you should hit the 600's with the 'charger.

The stock kit made 611 hp with the oem tune provided by edelbrock (91 octane tune that pulled timing at 100 degrees)

have only an open exhaust like a stinger but no mufflers and stock cats.

now tuned for 93 octane.

We picked up over 50HP with tune and slightly smaller pulley plus much better throttle response. I'll sit in traffic in Manhattan for an hour or so between a 140mile round trip interstate commute where I get to cruise as well as open 'er up at least to the top of 4th gear once a day.

The car is averaging about 21.5MPG tween real city and real highway about 50/50 split. try to cruise at bout 78mph on way in and home.

About to install the alky kit with a tiny nozzle for super fine atomization intended for cooling only so I can hit it once I break away from traffic and the long mountain passes.

These chargers are so good. I had one on my 2002 Z06 from te dealer as new and beat on it with 125K miles and was still fine.
Now,
Am making about 9 lbs boost not sure.

On my lightning I am at 13lbs with the smaller Eaton 1.9 and it has over 200K miles on it still runs very strong. I wonder if anyone has 210K miles on a centrifugal supercharger spinning its max rpm many times?

Good luck with this! You will really like it.

 

I am installing now the racetronix parts for the BAP. Trying to read installation info, but links are not working in their website. Does anyone have installation guides? or any reference?

" FPWH-008 - C5/6 Fuel Pump Wirung Harness;

HPS-2 Hobbs Pressure switch (this is a much higher quality than the one that comes with the BAP);

RCS - 007 - Connector Set, Hobbs Switch"

These are the links I used to follow:

Not working now

 

you have one black wire goes to the hobbs switch, and i remember carson saying something about racetronix hobbs being inversed from the one that came with the BAP. he went back on the stock hobbs. but for the metrapack connector i know orange goes toward the fuel pump side, red wire goes to alternator side. I guess your BAP as the same wires color as the ECS one.

 

Is there a manual or video I can refer to. I got several parts to juggle with.

 

not that i can tell, but i went with that because schpenxel told me the way it should go and worked perfect. really the only place you could mess up is the BAP connector which is orange and red.

 

That was only because Carson had an ECS BAP. The Kenne Bell unit should work as intended with that adjustable Hobbs. It's what I run on mine.

OP... Check out A&A's site. They used to have some decent BAP install instructions. You'll need to figure out the Racetronix integration part, but it's pretty self explanatory. Just pay extra close attention to the sealed connections at how they're assembled before crimping anything.
