You've got the larger rods and piston squirters...that block can handle over 22psi without batting an eye.2) 3" downpipe and exhaustFrom there, it's a matter of preference. But you won't really need chips until you get these done first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8 APEKS Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 any recommended web page for manual boost controller and how do you manually boost yup psi??and any 3'' dp and exhaust??? I was using a Hallman Pro MBC. In over 3 years of reading posts about people's "boost spikes," I still wasn't even sure what they were because I never, ever had one. I also never had boost creep, or boost fade.MBC is a 5 minute install. 1 valve with a knob on it, and 2 vac hoses. That's it. You NEED a boost gauge...DO NOT mess with your boost without one. 45 bucks or so from summitracing.com.For the exhaust...I'd have a local muffler shop make you a downpipe and exhaust. DP should be around 200; exhaust can vary but around 350-650 depending on what you want to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty33W Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 i have a 3in straight pipe thats made of parts from autozone and the hardware store , its alot cheaper , but it takes a bit more work , also , for years i've been heat wrapping my intercooler piping , i've done it to a half dozen different vehicles , many debate if it helps or not , im positive it does , i use 2000 degree header wrapping tape , try it , oh and if you ditch your cat you dont have to go with a 3 in pipe , 2.5 or 2.75 in works fine with a straight pipe until you hit about 350hp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
