So this month, we are taking a bold step with stock heads and stock intake manifold. We are installing PIE's Vortech Supercharger on the Big Red Dirt Ram. If you do not already know, the Ram is a stock 9.1 compression 360ci with the UTP450 camshaft. So now, it is getting prepped for the installation beginning with cooling here in Utah. Twin Mishimoto's are in place with a 160 thermostat and the program has been changed to accommodate closed loop at the lower temp. Our blower is an oil supplied and return V-1 head. You can use a Paxton or Vortech with their mounting bracket. Our oil pan is getting tapped for the return oil as we are using the V-1. V-3 blowers, will not need that. Also being installed are the 60lb high impedance injectors and a GM 2 bar map sensor. A quick reprogram in the SCT for idle, drivability and 11.5air ratio at WOT will be added. You can also plumb a intercooler in place, but we are starting with none. Boost level can be controlled on this kit also from 3 psi to 20 psi, more on that later! The greatest part of this kit is the separate belt driven blower. No more serpentine mods and additional guide rollers needed to keep the belt from slipping. Dyno tuning will be performed on the Mustang loading dyno to really get the headers glowing.
