Good choice with the V9! As for times, kinda hard to say, since its dependent on a few other variables. I would venture to say anything from 1200 - 1150.

Nice setup! How much $ did it cost? How long to install?

I paid 5,225.00, the installation time was approximately 2 1/2 days which included several runs and final dyno tune. I also went with Autometer
Electrical fuel pressure and boost guages.

think about a stronger tranny: I toasted mine with the 6 PSI kit...
Instead of a rebuilt I went manual.

By yourself or with someone helping? Could you post some more pics, including your dash showing the new gauges?

You might sneak into the 11s, with the right kind of rubber, fuel, etc. And you wont have a "ram air" anymore if you go forced induction, to be technical about it. You'll have to change your screen name!
he still has ram air. it still gets its air from the "ram air" scoops and whats not ram air about a supercharger? lol

Hey, how much boost are you running with the Vortech setup and is it possible to upgrade that pulley for more boost? I'm sure you'd need bigger fuel upgrades, but i always like the idea of having more potential. Also, any idea how much horsepower your making now? Thanks.

9 lbs of boost, I would hope you would be in the 11's having around 500rwhp or more. Especially with an auto

I like the Procharger. No tapping the oil pan. Or cutting the SS hood.

My opinion is biased, but I have an ATI ProCharger, and I think it's great! On a stock bottom end, I wouldn't exceed 500 rwhp. Bob with EPP has some great suggestions if you choose to go with a ProCharger...look at the 'sticky' above on the first 'Forced Induction' page. Good luck!

Why stick with a F-Body? I'd go with a Bugatti Veyron or so...

W16
1001 HP
406 km/h
300 items built
Price 1 000 000 Euro (= alotta money for me).

I love them - and i sell them. I got 530rwhp with some other minor mods on 7lbs of boost. could turn it up to 9lbs but I still have my stock block.
