Everything needed for boost?
Just want to double check everything I need so I have an idea of cost and don't miss anything.
-Blower kit buying from a buddy complete kit. I will need to get the modified water pump bracket because his is a 14 mines a 15.
-I'm looking at devils own meth kit and run 100% meth. Will probably run a separate tank for meth instead of using my washer fluid.
-LT4 fuel pump for peace of mind.
-Looking at this wideband/boost control gauge, well have to have a bung installed on my exhaust for it =/ http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/x...cat=273&page=3
-And then obviously the tune.
It seems like 700whp is a reasonably safe number to shoot for, it'll be on a mustang dyno. Anything else I may need or should look into?
I was going to put cutouts on my car but I have a feeling it won't be any louder than having the valves open, hopefully the blower will satisfy my loudness need. And I am weary about cutting into my exhaust on this car, probably will resell and recoupe my losses. Is there any resell market for the stock headers and mid pipe stuff?
Thanks.

I have an ECS kit on a 416 and tuning it now on E85....I have a Z06 pump and a lash cap with Z06 injectors and having hell of a time getting the Z06 pump to work right. I would not recommend doing the pump and injectors unless you absolutely need it, and for a stock block with meth, you won't need it.

What issues are you having with the pump Higgs?

The issue is no rail pressure under boost/PE.
What I can't get my head around is that I "had" rail pressure at first and was losing tank pump pressure, which I expected and going to add a second fuel pump. However, one day, I have no rail pressure (works fine when no boost/no PE mode) and plenty of tank pump pressure (since the HPFP isn't taking more fuel from it).....
I don't know what changed. I have been reading threads about the 4 banger guys going through the same issue but havent found their solution.

It does it on 93 also.

That's strange, I'll ask around and see if I know anyone who has ran into this yet and I'll let you know if I do.

Well it'll be a f1 and the guy has pretty much the same setup but was making more power I believe. I can't imagine only upper 500's with headers blower meth and fuel pump lol.
Main reason I want fuel pump is i've heard of too many people losing motors due to lack of fuel.

Ha, yeah!
Doug@ECS or LMR or Vengeance or anyone else, have you run a 2015 Z06 HPFP in a 2014 Vette or only in a 2015?
The peak pulse table changed from 2014 to 2015 in all Vettes, base or Z06...
thanks!

Slesher had his done by VR and it's a '14. Theta also has a '14 I believe, but he did the pump/injectors himself. Not sure if VR did the retune.
