426 Inertia Stroker w/ Vortech V3 S/C, Suggestions needed to finish!

I have a 08 SRT8 300 W/426 Stroker, SHR Trans, and 09 LSD . I have 10.5 Compression Ratio, Blower Cam, 93 Series Crower Rods and a Callies Crank, Mopar CAI,Kooks LT Headers, Bassanni Catback. I've heard the Vortech system is in need of a better boost a pump and a meth kit, can anyone suggest what route to follow to get this blower up and running. I am looking to run a 6-8 lb boost set up, I am not lookong for 750 RWHP, Just another 80 or 100 RWHP ! I didn't mention, I just bought a 900 MM Arrington Throttle Body and am having it machined to fit the nitrous jets! I have a 2 stage and a progressive controller w/ 2 bottles and warmers! so, this will be a supercharged, nitrous setup w/ a small 70-90 shot set up! I'm at a loss with the blower, please feel free to chime in, Thanks, Todd in CT.

 

Man you got a beast. Sumone will chime in and tell ya the deal. Lot of very knowledgable guys over here

 

You may want to call NX. You could run their N2O methanol setup instead of N2O gas. Requires a seperate small tank for the methanol and a small fuel pump, they can supply the pump also, but then it doesn't require more fuel volume. You will require more fuel with the SC'd 426. I look at a boost a pump as a bandaide. You can run a higher volume pump or multible fuel pumps and increase your fuel line size. You could just run 10lbs of boost, which still isn't alot, but would work will with a little less timing with a good street tune. You have lots of options.
Sounds like a real monster you got there. Keep us posted on your decisions and progress.

 

the vortech system is a good system. you do not NEED a meth kit, but it is worth the small amount of money for the safety of spraying the meth to keep things cooler in the combustion chamber. this is more critical for guys like me running stock motors with stock pistons. the boost a pump that comes with the kit is ok, but in your set up you might/will need more than a boost a pump. imo, you will likely be looking at having to upgrade the entire fuel system. as for boost level, i would at minimum be running the 8lb set up. with your set up, you could bump it up even more!!! if you are running a 90mm tb, you would need to change out the coupler from the blower inlet tube to a bigger 4" version because the vortech kits with a coupler designed for a stock tb (3.5"). considering where you live, the final and MOST IMPORTANT thing...... go see johan at diablosport to tune it!!! he is hands down one of the best tuners in the country!!! he has tuned it all.....stock, blowers, nitorus, etc..... good luck!!

 

geez hal....... great minds think alike maybe????? hahahahahaha

posted at the exact same time as well!!! lol

 

So actually I posted 3 hours before you even though it was at the same time.

I'm on PST. lol

But your right on the great minds thing though. lol

 

no........ we did it at the same time in space......just different zones in space! lol

you old folks get up early bright eyed and drink your prune juice, us not so old folks roll out of bed on a sunday morning, hungover, around 10ish and stumble to find the asprin!!! lol

 

Our stage 2 fuel system will take care of your fuel needs. It is a dual walbro 255 pump system that utilizes the factory bucket and ballast system. We've successfully tested it up to 600rwhp on a boosted motor as a dead head system through the factory 5/16" line.

If you want the cats ass of fuel systems, then our stage 3 is the way to go. This system will support about 1000rwhp. It is a completely redesigned supply system that still uses the factory tank and ballast systems. It is a full return system with a front mounted fuel pressure regulator.

 

What exactly are you wanting to know about the blower?

I beleive you should already have the 8lb kit on the system you purchased. If you want to go up to the 9-10 lb pulley we have those pulleys here on the shelf.

I would suggest a Meth kit, justa good saftey measure and helps keep things cool, although since you will be spraying, I may be inclined to not worry about the meth as well.

You will likely need upgraded injectors, fuel lines and possibly pumps. You may get by with lines and injectors with the BAP. I would dump the MSD BAP and go to a KB BAP though.

I know you spoke a bit with Lisa already, so if you have any ?'s give us a call!

 

Knew it would`nt be long befor you got sum help man. Have you looked into Cams dual intake....you could deff use it in your application. This thing is awsome...it`s the best looking and performing hands down

 

Thanks for the feedback, this was what info I was looking for! this set up is used, I wasn't sure what I needed to conclude a whole operating unit! these answers just back up what I've been told I'll need. Cooling and more fuel. Justin at MM, can you PM me pricing for the systems you just mentioned? and SRT8U, I'll be in touch, I'll be back in FLA within 2 weeks. The Nitrous will be used at the track only! maybe I can get a 2nd tune for that?

 

Cam's CAI won't fit. It's designed for NA, not FI.

 

Your are correct Hal....did`nt even think about that

 

damn hal, beat me too it!!! lol

 

Man Chris... first your wife beats you... now Hal? You need to find a nicer lover!

 

But he really likes it:love:

 

todd, you're definately gonna want those dual walboro 255's. finally was able to talk to my installer last night, but with the delays in the cam cores coming in, i dont think ill be able to drive it down to fl myself, so good luck to you bro. what torque converter do you have in? gonna go for a different stall or leave it as is? id do like kris said also and dump that msd bap.

 

Lol dual intake did u read his post?

Anyways i have run a HARD 16,000 miles on my Vortech Jeep with NO METH...though i have it hooked up it's unplugged and i don't even really need it because the aftercooler is soooo efficient as is

You can use meth around town but don't tune for it because guys will warn u if the meth fails u will blown shit up......so it will make u run rich around town but rich is SAFE

To be on the safer side without meth add a SECOND heat exchanger under the bumper reinforcement for lower aftercooler temps and a larger volume of fluid to cool with the increased surface area of the exchanger....ask MOL about that

Also a 255 walbro with a kenne bell boost a pump is efficient enough if you're not going to go crazy with boost.....

Trojan, Adam with KB at 16psi, and others have the KB boost a pump with no problems

I'm swapping out my MSD for the KB right now

It won't take much to run 6-8 lbs...maybe the base pulley with a 17% ati overdrive pulley will get u there no doubt

Fyi the Walbro 255lph pumps are like $99 and the fittings/lines for a return system are a couple hundred, and the rails and billet top are a couple hundred each....yet the fuel system in mind is going for what $2,000? :doh: maybe that's what u can do with exclusivity

IMO much better options upon the horizon if u go crazy on the boost

Theres my input

Car will be a beast for sure!!!

 

I'll most likely go with the 255 walbro with a kenne bell boost a pump! . I'm waiting for my Arrington 90 to be machined for nitrous jets, and , also, I need my intake milled to fit the 90MM! so, I have a little work to do, my stroker has only been installed and tuned for a month! want to get to the track and gather some info and times for comparison. Thanks for the info,everyone! Mark, as far as the Trq Cnvrtr, I have a Edge 2800, I guess thats another question? if no one is sure what I should do, I'll Andre @ Edge.

 

Hey todd, like I said man ditch that water/air cooler and get a front mount.
