Hey Everyone,
So after running 9psi on a stock motor AP1, I am doing a complete rebuild to get more power while being even more reliable. My parts are as follows:

Laskey Built block
F22C1 block
Benson Sleeve
CP coated 10:1 Pistons
BC Rods
ACL race bearings

Headwork being done locally this week:
Port/Polish, flow bench
REV Valve train

Already being shipped to me to arrive next week:
Hytech SC header and 2.5" testpipe (yeah I know it will be restrictive but I still dont want to part with my Amuse R1 Titan single exhaust)

Need to get:
12 or 14psi Vortech pulley, belt and new bolt

Aiming for 400whp. I previously had 335whp and 210trq @ 9psi with the setup in my sig.

Any suggestions on what pulley size I should get and the best place to get it from are most welcomed!!

Thanks in advance everyone!

 

Why don't you upgrade your unit to a T-trim since you are rebuilding the motor and then run a smaller pulley on that.

 

wow. seems a bit pricey:

Any recommendations on where to get a 14psi pulley and belt?

Thanks

 

If you send in your s trim, they will convert it to a t trim... Cost around $1000~ or so I forgot how much my friend paid at the time. No need to buy a completely new blower.

As where the best place to get a pulley and belt, you got me there.

 

Still a little pricey, but i am contacting vortech directly for the 3.8" pulley and belt that should be 14psi.
ASP said they are not doing anymore custom pulleys until the summer...maybe...
Thanks!

 

Ok. So I just finished placing the order with Vortech. They have the 3.8" pulley that should be delivered in 4 business days to my door.

3.8" pulley = $75
Retainer kit/bolt = $9.95
V-3 Lubricant Three-Pack, Includes Three 4-oz. Bottles and Spout Tip Bottle Cap $30.95

They did not have the belt shorter than a 50" belt that goes with the 4.5" pulley so once the pulley is here I will need to use a string to measure the distance and get the belt from NAPA.
I estimate it being a 48.7" belt. Anyone have the 3.8" pulley that can confirm?

Thanks!

 

If i remember correctly it was around 600~650 or so.

 

When I spoke to Vortech yesterday they said it was about 1,100.

 

What.. If you ask me that's too much for ttrim upgrade.

 

what version of the blower do you have? You can't do T-trim on a V-3. And you said you bought 3 bottles of the V-3 lubricant, that only works with the v-3 model..which blower do you have?
