What are you using to control boost? Or is the WG set manually

I ran a smaller pulley with the wastegate to set the pressure. The benefit of it is insane check out this link http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/eng...ger-wastegate/

It should help achieve peak torque much sooner than just running a 4.25 or similarly larger pully. The wastegate is on the Charge pipe and will bleed off boost pressure past set levels.

It should be around 30psi~ on the 4.00 and the wastegate will keep it bled to around 24-25psi.

Engine is getting rotating assembly balanced to 8000rpm but I'm thinking of sticking to around 7200rpm for the valvetrain

Yeh I totally understand what is it for, you need it specially for the f1x because its feels dead in low rpms, what i was asking what is controlling te boost? Is there something electronic in there or, just a wastegate with vacuum lines ?

Nope just a good ol' wastegate and pulley controlling boost levels

I hope you don't go thru what Lou is going thru with his Megasquirt setup

Drew this is pretty classless and you're crossing a line here in my customer's thread. We all get it, you're a Crawford fanboy, but that has nothing to do with us. We have over TWO dozen SPI kits out there, another 8 on order in production now, and were just contracted for a large amount through a third party as well. We set the V3 record a few months ago and still hold the boost only record with that car. And for big power, we made nearly 1300whp on our Mustang dyno with Storm's C7 F1X at 25psi, chiller, and SPI kit as well and that car is back in WV tearing up the streets.

There is nothing wrong with Lou's car and revving a car in neutral after 3rd gear does not constitute anything wrong with our SPI kit or the tune either. I cannot say that any shop drives around revving a car at 80mph in between gears to map out the VE table, so that area of the map was obviously estimated and it's a simple fix, however we are waiting on him.

The 820whp Whipple ZL1 finished right after his build DROVE his car back to South FL, over 22 hours without any issues.
"No issues with the car, still LOVING IT! Got a few followers on the drive alone while leaving Atlanta GA."

And here is directly from a customer talking about how easy it was for Matt at 21st Century to install and tune:



So to be clear, your biased rhetoric is not appreciated or needed.

new guy here, I wanted to add I also just fit a set of 18s over z07 rear CCB's with MT ET Street in a 345/35/18. The setup I went with was Forgeline GA1R open lug wheels in a 19x10/18x12 with a 35 offset front, 50 in the back (they did champfer the mounting pads to accommodate the calipers). I also DID get rid of the magnetic ride in place of a set of double adjustable (compression & rebound individually adjustable) JRZ RS-Pro coilovers with custom spring rates (we have been having some traction issues haha), I don't see how the suspension would play a role in wheel fitment, I just figured I would throw it out there.

Thanks for sharing that info that is a very nice e t street setup. I don’t want to shave my brakes down but would consider for that setup. I doubt shocks make any difference in wheel fitment other than allowing for the inner hoop to possibly be wider. Allowing for more offsets. Appreciate you sharing the exact specs of wheels and offsets.

xslangx, maybe I skimmed over it, but whats the setup you're running for the secondary port injection and methanol? I am on the fence about ordering the LME billet manifold, but wanted to go with the pro-meth direct port setup and add secondary injectors, short of doing a Volute methanol injection setup on the blower (F1a currently being swapped out for an F1x), and the secondary injectors on the manifold, I cant figure it out.

if your brake shaving comment was in reply to me talking about champfering, I was referring to the wheels, the brake calipers haven’t been touched.

Whats up Dave! I'm currently running a Weapon X Secondary Port Injection with 1000CC injectors off a G1PRo LTx Manifold and G1pro Fuel rails. The methanol is a dual nozzle setup plumbed directly into intercooler piping that sprays into the TB. I think a direct port would be a bit overkill but of course would have its benefits, i just personally wouldn't take that route due to costs.
