hellbents10 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Get ready to change the injectors because you will soon be out of fuel too. I like the GT2-3, don;t need a ton of cam when you ahve boost. Good luck on the 918's....... I would opt for PSI 1511's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss04Flores Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Whats wrong with 918's? thats what LPE recommends with the cam. and i know they had problems with them before but i heard they fixed it. the ones with the blue marking are the corrective ones which is what i have. when you talk about the injectors would you also recommend a new fuel pump while im at it? thanks for the reply......

Black2003SS Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Maybe its just me, but why arent you going with a D1SC instead? I would think the power gains you would get from upgrading from the P1SC would be just as good or more than the cam and your planned mods? Some D1SC are going mid to high 12's without a cam. Otherwise, what you have will work. Are you running the stock fuel pump with that procharger? If so, you will need a larger fuel pump. If you added one when you installed the blower, then you should be ok for awhile. Also, your sig doesnt mention an intercooler. Do you have one? Is it two or three core? If its two core, I would look at the 3 core from procharger. Edited November 19, 2008 by Black2003SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 i know the new 918 are supposed to be good becsue alot of the older ones failed but i like double springs just in case, last thing you need is a single spring to fail and hurt a piston, also for that i would use some ls7 lifters , stock rockers or harlan sharp modified fulcrum rockers , or if you have some cash yella terras and aftermarket harlan sharps, crane , comp they are all decent . push rods , depends on heads and rockers so you need to check then order.

Well from what ive seen everyones engine seems to blow with the d1 without doing some work to the engine. im running the stock pump just doing some reaserch as to which one i need. and its a 2 core intercooler... thanks for yor help Edited November 20, 2008 by ss04flores (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
