S-trim fuel system

PeTr0 · 05-28-2003, 02:50 PM

My car has about 80,000 miles and I am abou to buy a used vortech S trim blower for it. It comes with everything in the kit except the Trex fuel pump. I installed a 190 lph in tank pump last year and was wondering if i needed to upgrade?? What about other fuel system needs? Will my car be ok with the mileage and the mods?

Just make sure you are not losing oil...

The vortech requires that you plumb your existing system...

If you are running only 8lbs or so, you should be okay w/bigger injectors(30's or 42's), a chip or FMU, an in-line T-rex, and your 190 pump.

Is your compression good?you don't want blowby with boost.

I noticed you don't have aftermarket heads, is that right?

You should be okay then.

good luck...
