carburator or throttle body "cap" paxton and procharger sells them the one pictured is on TBI car. If you wish to do the same might I suggest this (made just for TBI units)

I don't think anyone makes a power adder my my motor yet

Kingtal0n · 11-20-2002, 02:59 PM

Feed it some of that green stuff that makes people get the munchies...

then hang a carrot in front of it.

There you go, power adder.

Zepher · 11-20-2002, 05:07 PM

Here is a current picture of my setup,

Kingtal0n · 11-22-2002, 03:59 PM

what is THAT!? I have never seen such a thing. wow it almost beats the hamster. LT4 "quoth the picture" what is that intake good for? rpm range / idle quality / mpg / power peak / etc.. ?

Roc87 · 11-22-2002, 04:12 PM

Who would want a mouse motor or rat motor, when you could have a Guinea Pig motor!

2500-6500rpms with the cam, 112lsa gives a slightly rough idle, I have no idea what mpg I'll get, peak HP will be around 570rwhp.

<b>2500-6500rpms with the cam, </b>
yeah but I could put a 3000-7000 rpm cam in my 305. doesnt mean the breathing ability of the heads/intake will match that however...

what i meant was, like TPI (or unlike..) is that manifold somhow "tuned" for a specific RPM range? you know, single planes good for high, dual planes good for street, tunnel rams good for really high, tpi good for torque...

whats that manifolds "sweet spot" .. they all have one.

Zepher · 11-23-2002, 01:22 PM

I don't know. This LT4 intake is going on top of my LT4 heads which goes onto top of my LT1 that has the LT4 hot cam in it.
It should have max torque around 2500 and max HP around 6K+.

BLOWN 305 TBI--- How does that setup work for you? Could you tell a big difference and is there anything else you had to do to get it on the street or just bolt it all on? Thanks

85_ZED28 · 12-10-2002, 10:35 PM

why do you guys own guns like that? MAYBE a handgun I could understand but jeez

anyways, I love this power adder pics, lots of "right click - save as..." going on here

DragracerArt · 12-10-2002, 11:24 PM

Why do you own a hotrod Camaro ? I could understand a minivan or a VW Jetta, but Jeez...

Class3 weapons are just another expensive hobby...

Sorry to pollute the thread with the machinegun stuff...
Just thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

Again, sorry to hijack the thread...
I'll be quiet now...

I might have to take ya up on that offer when it gets a bit warmer out.. Its been a while since I've fired off a full auto gun.. (hehe the last time I did I was 5 years old, shooting a M60 at the Chester Armory)

You are correct...
You never said "NEED", but you certainly implied it...

"Why do you guys own guns like that ? I could understand a handgun, but jeez."

I edited my post accordingly...

Nice! :rockon: :hail:

Cruzin Kaz · 12-19-2002, 04:41 PM

This is what I want to put on my engine. Gonna cost over $4000 but I would rather have a injection hat instead of dual crabs. Run me some Alcohol maybe.

671 Baby!! Oh ya!

elec87 · 12-27-2002, 10:16 PM

You guys have some awesome cars. Here is a pic I have sorry it is not a third gen but at least it is gm.

bhaas · 12-29-2002, 09:05 PM

Should be driving this soon. A week or so. Can't wait.

mypontiac · 12-31-2002, 08:41 PM

Here is my pic of the only 1991 TA with the twin intercooled ProCharger set up. Thanks to the help from list member Willie, Dorian at ProCharger and Dave at http://www.tenperf.com

Now it's time to kick some a$$.

B4Ctom1 · 12-31-2002, 09:28 PM

nice job looks like you are using the chrome pipe mod for the upper radiator hose I was posting the last couple of years. keeps that baby from getting cut heres mine; bad picture of a good mod.

mypontiac · 12-31-2002, 09:42 PM

Hi B4CTOM1,

I have enjoyed reading your posts over the last year or so. Nice to be in your company now. ProCharger Club!!!

Actually Dorian at ProCharger volunteered to send me this piece to help prevent damage to the radiator hose in the event of a belt failure.

So as an experienced ProCharger user. The sound....lots of vibration. Bearing noise, very high piched whistle. Is this right???

Want to make sure everything is correct.

Sounds like music to me. Very sweet and powerful.

Still on jack stands so I have not got into boost yet.

oh yeah all the noise, they make a racket dont they? :-) but all blowers do even roots and screw ones do. its in the gears that the units have inside. you will note a chugging and chunking kinda noise at idle too as your ECM makes mixture changesadjustments at idle. it causes an imbalance of the firing impulses. that combined with the small amount of backlash between the drive and driven gears in the gear cases causes the chuggng or chunking sound. this is usually only noteable in steady state (no load) or idle. the whine is a separate and beautiful sound it is purely the mesh of the gears. Vortechs are real load and the roots are the king of whine. Vortech has tried to reduce this with a line of "quiet" blowers. they cut the gear with a more helical design and well, it still whines like a banshee. the king of quiet is the powerdyne. powerdynes use a belt in the "gearcase?" instead of gears (exept the newest model) and they offer truely quiet boost. unfortunately the quiet is at the cost of power and boost (belts cant step up ratio in the same area of space in the gearcase as gears can. congratulations on your purchase.

Camar92 · 01-01-2003, 11:57 AM

B4Ctom1, guess what!?! That photo that yoou posted half way throgh on the third page about the RBI airbox, that is my car!!! I thinks its sweet.
