Worth a try...
Looking into the vortech v-3 unit and was wondering is there a dealer on here, used one for sale, or cheaper place to buy other than paying full price lol.

A v-3 full price exceeds my budget, especially if I am going to upgrade the fuel system aswell.

Have you tried to look on Corral? I see they always have superchargers and turbos for sale.

What are you doing to the fuel system?

Fox body? If so, i have my paxton novi 2000 for sale. Imo a much better blower than the v3, although the v3 is nice.

I would like to change out the fuel pump for peace of mind "not sure if it was ever changed out" and might as well get a higher flowing pump.

I have 24lb injectors but would like to upgrade those aswell, maybe 36lb-42lb That being said I would need/want to upgrade the MAS.
+regulator and gauge.

Then want to install a air fuel ratio and boost gauge.

I know I don't NEED to upgrade the fuel system and get all the extras...
I can just use the fmu, the thing is I am building this car IMO the right way and not trying to cut corners.

An external fuel pump and all new plumping with aftermarket fuel rail would be nice but is definitely not necessary for my set up and would be for just looks...I only want 350 rwhp

Please if you have any feedback on ^^^this I'd like to hear it.

Yes sir for my 88 foxbody... I've seen it, looks good. The reason why I am wanting a sc v-3 is because
it's a simple install, if I blow another head gasket I don't have to worry about oil contaminating the SC.

Interested in a e.o #'d self-contained charger also..

You could always pulley down the psi. Just because he has it set up for 500hp doesn't mean you have to

Posted by Stangn5oh (Member # 10875) on :

Your right lxjames, but The pulley itself is basicly what makes it the ho kit driving up the price besides the added electronics...

I'm going to stay in my comfort zone on this one.

Im just bringing it up so that others that are wanting that deal and that amount of hp.

Posted by Stangn5oh (Member # 10875) on :

not looking for a supercharger anymore, missed out on the v3 deal and thats the perfect supercharger for my "perfect" set up for my car.

instead im getting the supporting mods first...fuel injectors, maf, fuel pump, fpr,gauges etc.

thanks guys.
