Ok I understand all that, just seeing everyone else's figures does get you excited about doing the same or more but like you said, you don't know how aggressive the tune is. But I'll keep that in mind. For instance my buddy had a lightning and went from a 4lb pulley to a 6lb pulley and had the exact same power, so I believe the tune would have to factor in at that point.

 

And what are you pushing out of those mods? Option b is definitely something I'm going to get, I've heard nothing but good things about it so ill get that with the zzp h/e.

 

Correct, but saying a pulley will give you x amount of boost is not accurate on a blower car. Lots of factors affect boost levels such as temp, elevation, climate, and modifications such as a free flowing exhaust.

Boost is also not the best way to explain power on a blower car, because it is a measure of restriction.

A 16psi SS/SC can make more power than an 18psi SS/SC. Airflow is key.

Option B is fantastic. I have been running it for years on my car.

 

Yea with the gm stage 2 on my car now, my boost gauge goes to 14 maybe 15 because I'm too busy paying attention to the road lol, but a few more lbs wouldn't hurt and I also have this guy with a 99 mustang gt that swears up and down that he can walk me by 5 cars, but I'm pretty positive that ill beat him, I don't look down on my car at all I love it too much lol

And about the option b, never heard anything bad about it and you proved that point right there lol

 

With my mods and 3.0 pulley. I'm pushing about 240ish on a conservative tune til I can get to a dyno. I wouldn't run lower than a 2.8 in florida unless ur going to have cooling mods out the ass. IMO 2.9 is the safest if u only plan on using heat exchanger and option b

 

 

^ in same boat, I think my car pulls with my mods, lol but that's my opinion.

 

Oh ok well that's not to bad then and yea I wanna get all the cooling mods first and make sure they are all there first before I go 2.8. And idk if you need it or not but I already have ttr tranny mounts and a ingalls torque damper with a strut bar so for stability I think I'm safe with the extra power and being able to hold it to the road lol

 

Turbo!

 

Yea right lol that would be nice but I don't have a few thousand to throw into the car and I can't be without one to get it all done

 

Ok so I was talking to one of my good friends tonight about the mods ill be doing and he was telling me about the clutch in the car and if it'll hold that much power for a long time or will I have to purchase a new clutch with it or will I have to replace it soon down the road? I didn't have the answer for him so I was wondering what my engine will hold and how much the clutch will hold as well..

 

Stock clutch should hold for a while, my car is putting down around 255 - 260 and im on stock clutch but u can get the gmpp clutch when ya rdy to upgrade alot of good reviews on it.

 

Ok cool thanks, and with the gmpp clutch or even a zzp clutch how long will that clutch last before getting a new one. My friend said that the ones they make for his car will go out like after 20k and it'll never have the same reliability along life as the stock clutch

 

they is no way to tell for sure when ur clutch will let go that depends on how it was driven and how many miles but the gmpp clutch has been used on cars that are making 350+ cars i think they was a guy with one making 400 hp turbo swapped.
My clutch has about 40k miles on it, the guy that owned my car before me had blew out the clutch at 56k miles so i replaced it with another stock one at the time since i didnt know about the gmpp clutch, im around 98k now and my clutch holds my power no problem and has many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear pulls down my highway logging and racing. It ur clutch is in good shape it should hold for a while just depends

 

Stock clutch is fine.... I'm at 285whp +, and have no slip.

Although, I will upgrade to a GMPP clutch when mine starts to fail.

 

I'm on TVS 2.9 and E47 with stock clutch and its starting to let go. Granted that's with about. 300~ hp

 

Awesome cause that was going to be a big concern with me if I did all this and bam those goes my clutch and I have to drop $1000 into the car to get it back up again. I'm at 53k on my car now and I feel no slip or anything so I think the car will handle the power fine. And it's not like I get on it everyday or racing people everyday. I honestly only raced a few cars like a new
V6 camaro and a Daytona charger and I've beat them but other than that I haven't really raced anyone and for some reason I can't figure out why lol. So if my clutch does go the gmpp one will last me a very long time with the way I drive and how many miles I have on the car now?

 

From what I have heard, it can take a beating. Some turbo swap guys have used it and said no slipping and I know Zrated had a hell of a TVS build and drag racing and all kinds of a beat on his GMPP clutch and no slipping for him. Oh and I have one to

 

And it still lasts a long time with all the beating it takes? And what kinda clutch from Ottp do you have cause I just looked and there's a crap ton to choose from lol

 

OTTP LSJ Upgraded clutch is the same thing as the GMPP it actually is from Creat Engine Depot

 

Alright awesome good to hear it cause they had a lot of options lol. And now brakes. I heard that a lot of people put the r1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors. But on some threads some say that you only need the slotted, why is that and whats the difference?

 

Don't quote me on this b/c brakes are not my strongest point, but I think the reason you do not need both is because it would seem to me that the brakes would not heat up good enough to because efficent on the streets. Only difference I think is that they cool a lot faster thus being better for track and autoX use

 

Good to see staged is still educating the masses

Listen to him and you're good!

Stock clutch will be fine.

 

Yup, still here helpin out

 

My tuner told me that for my setup a 2.85" was abit too agressive and I should go with a 2.9" I have 60# Injectors, Dual Pass Intake mani. OTTP Stg1 H/E , the Pheonalic spacer, Custom tune. ZZP 3" intake. ZZP Long tube header to cated downpipe to stock exhaust.
