Ahh, I thought that was just part of the dog, haha.

Yeah, the porting should help.

I'm throwing around the idea of plugging the silencer holes...

blue 2.2

i was thinking about doing it but then i planned to just put it on the car and see how it sounded first and then do it later if i still wanted but we see how well that went lol

numbers should differ because the larger engine will take in more CFMs per stroke than the LSJ, leaving less left in the manifold, so manifold pressures will be lower.

easy explanation. Bolt up an M62 to a LS2 with a 2.5" pulley...you wont see much boost

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, forgot to include that into my thoughts...

so let me get this right. the map sensor on the sc we don't need to plug it into any thing right?
than wit the bolts of the intake manifold how long do they have to be to get it to fit the sc manifold? can i jsut get it at lowe's or home depot?

my stock ones worked. sooh....

alleged

hurry up and get everything else op so we can see what kinda numbers you run!!!!

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Haha, yeah, gotta decide on a H/E and then see how much money I have left after I pay my mom part of my tuition. I'm not installing till July most likely...

why do you need longer alternator bolts?

stenguyen1

iTrader: (2)

cuz when you put the new tensioner on with the bracket it bolts on the same as the alternator so you would need the bolts to be longer so they can tighten the tensioner bracket and alternator together.

IonNinja

ahh...kay

Does anybody know what if any H/Es will fit behind the stock front bumper?

I really do want to keep a low profile...

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

^^ a cobra might...theyre pretty small

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Yeah... I might have to take some measurements, though i'm not quite sure what to measure from and to.

And I do need another coolant reservoir?

The SS and 2.2 ones arent the same?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

you dont need one..no. Stock SS's dont have them...but it seems everyone who upgrades immediately buys one to run Opt. B. I would rather go with the hatrickstu mod or OTTP's coolant reservoir (effectively the same thing)

MP81

iTrader: (2)

So I can just use my stock coolant reservoir then?

YzRider452

No, its a seperate system.

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

the intercooler/HE system for the supercharger does NOT share coolant with the engine. they are two independently plumbed and operated units. engine coolant temp is near 180* whereas intercooler coolant temps are much closer to 100* and below (depending on ambient temperature and how much you're getting on the gas

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Hmm, don't see that thing on GMPartsDirect...

So I need that.

Now just to make sure: The ONLY gaskets I need are as follows: TB to SC, SC to IM, IM to CH, right?

I also might have to roll with the stock H/E for the time being too.

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

if CH is supposed to stand for the head...then yes

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Yeah, I was too lazy to write everything out, haha.

iTrader: (2)

I think I'm going to go with a stock heat exchanger at the beginning, unless I can find a heat exchanger that for sure fits under the stock bumper. A cobra H/E should fit, but I'd have to fab **** up, and I don't know if I'll be able to do that and do the swap in the weekend.

It's always something I can add later...

PM steven_flit. He runs a cobra too, and its mounted in a way thats easy to do and should fit on a LS bumper too
