NOVI 2000 and stock motor

Mustang_289 · 07-25-2003, 07:21 AM

My son is looking hard at a NOVI2000 charger for our 88GT project car. How effective will the NOVI2000 be with speed density(upgrading to MAF), stock intake, heads, and bottom end?

You could probably still put 350-400 HP to the wheels.

Ditch the Speed density.

I would tear the motor down, get the heads surfaced and put some bad *** head gaskets on first.

You could go really low 12's maybe high 11's with that set up.

The Novi 2000 is a bad boy

how many miles on the motor? I would seriously think about a rebuild with strong internals, with better flowing heads, and intake.

Mustang_289 · 07-27-2003, 07:15 AM

about 90K on the motor - have run wet/dry compression and all 8 are in spec (can't remember not enough coffee in my brain yet) and within 5-10lbs of each other.

the numbers sound good, just make sure after the install you get a good tune. But I would def. throw some heads, a cam, and an intake to see the potential of the Novi 2000.

have you thogh abuot nitrous? alot cleaner under the hood and you use it when yuo want to. nirtous is safe if you run colder plugs and good fuel and retard timing, i have run both blower and nitruos and will stick with nitrous any day of the week, when you run nitous the power comes on instanlty where as the blower takes time to produce the gains and the novi2000 is 3 g`s
were as a kick *** nitrous system is abotu $1000 after accessories good luck whatver you do

In my opinion the Novi 2000 is the best blower out there for the money. You can run it on a stock motor in a mild setup, or build a large stroker and pulley it for 15+ psi and make over 900 horsepower. I'll be buying one for my combo this winter.

I have the little brother of the 2k, running the Novi 1k. Definately a good kit even for an entry level. Seeing 7.5psi at 4100ft elevation with stock heads/cam, and just a crank pulley off an F-150 for $15. If you have the money I would definately say go for it. For some more info, go to http://www.novipower.com Everybody there is great for questions like this. They have a forum for both the 1k and 2k systems.

Currently running NOS, you're right the initial cost out of pocket is cheaper but it gets pretty expensive running thru bottles at the track.

what does a fill up cost?

Joe50 · 08-04-2003, 09:19 AM

Like they say "with nitrous all you are doing is financing a blower"...

Mustang_289 · 08-04-2003, 11:25 AM

about $3.5 / lb - which equals $35 each time you fill the ole bottle with funny juice

GhettoPop · 08-04-2003, 11:32 AM

How much nitrous do you use on a run, or how many runs does a 10 lb bottle last? Thanks

Mustang_289 · 08-05-2003, 06:54 AM

My son gets about 4-5 runs on a bottle. As you can see it'll get pretty expensive at the track running 10+ times.

BilLster · 08-05-2003, 12:34 PM

I have found if you can find a welding supply store with a small bottle fill station it only cost $10.00 to fill a full N20 bottle but a speed shop charges way more. I also have filled my paint ball stuff at the welding supply shop for pennies. also if you use a bottle warmer you should get more than 3-4 run on a full bottle also use a pressure gauge.
