Also keep in mind that you need a pre filter (100 micron) and a post filter (10 micron). Aeromotive sells a sump kit with built in filter and a1000 pump.

Square advice.

Did you get a wideband yet?

Thanks for the advice guys. I got the BOV today. It looks like a quality part. Hopefully I can get it installed by tomorrow. I'll get the wideband after I get the BOV, FPR and fuel pump installed. I'll post updates soon...

**Hart_Rod** · 01-17-2010, 11:38 PM

I'll have an update on the blow-off valve by the end of the week. In the mean time, here's a video of some burn-outs,

Real sweet ride. I would keep the 3:73 gear if your going to street drive it. I've always ran the same and it gives the best of both worlds, And with that much power, I don't think you need any more. My .02 Where is Pace, Fl?

djracer · 01-18-2010, 12:38 PM

Just outside of pensacola.

**Hart_Rod** · 01-29-2010, 12:26 AM

I finally got my BOV installed. I still have to route a good vaccuum source to it and then I can go try it out. Is there anything I should double check before putting it to the test?

Wild83C10 · 01-30-2010, 11:27 AM

Looking good. How you doing with the other upgrades?

I still need to finish the fuel system, but the Suburban has been occupying most of my time. Can you describe the normal operation of the blow off valve. As it stands, as soon as I manually move the throttle it starts opening up and releasing air from the supercharger. When does this stop?

ripdog28 · 01-30-2010, 01:57 PM

Cant you adjust the valve? Set it for the PSI you want?

Good question. The instructions said it was preset at the factory and not to adjust it. Makes you wonder why they put an adjustment screw on it....

Suburban looks nice. I will have to check out the build thread.

You need to build boost or pressure in the intake in order for the valve to stay closed. The hose that comes from the intake to the BOV senses pressure or vacuum. Under boost it will close the valve and keep it closed. If there is vacuum in the intake it will open the valve. It appears that the BOV is doing what it is supposed to do. You don't want pressure when you are manually blipping the throttle.
Before you make any adjustments drive the truck and see if how it acts.

Roger that. It's been nasty weather her for the last couple of weeks so I really haven't gotten to drive it. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice, I'll try to take it out then. Also, what are your thoughts on a PCV setup?

**Hart_Rod** · 02-14-2010, 09:25 PM

Before I purchase a wideband setup, I need to upgrade the fuel system from the Holley black pump/Holley non bypass, non boost referenced FPR (anyone need to buy a pump and FPR,

) to some Aeromotive stuff. Here's what I'm planning for the fuel system:

A11101 - Fuel pump
A13301 - Boost reference fuel pressure regulator with return
A12301 - 10 micron fuel filter
A12304 - 100 micron fuel filter

The only thing I'm not sure of is the fuel pressure regulator. There seems to be a lot of choices. The 13301 is adjustable from 3-20psi and has a spring that can be changed to make it adjustable from 20 to 65psi if I ever switch to fuel injection. Thoughts?

R/

Wild83C10 · 02-15-2010, 09:39 PM

That fuel pump P/N doesn't show up, do you mean 11101?

Everything else looks good. I would recommend SS covered teflon hose. I had a problem with the SS rubber hoses pushing/outleaking fumes/vapor and my garage stunk from fuel.

What size fitting do you have out of the tank? Do you have a return fitting?

P/N corrected,

. I have 10AN fittings in all ports. I was going to plumb the return line to my fuel filler neck. Does the teflon hose bend very easily?

Looks like you are taking the right advice hartrod. It is going to be a fun ride when you are done with it.

No, the teflon line has a large bend radius.

Thanks guys. Well I pulled the trigger on the fuel system and should have that taken care of in the next week. I have the following things that need to be connected to receive vaccuum/boost signal. My question is where exactly to pull it from, above (A) the butterflys or below (B)?

PCV - B
transmission - A (ported?)
Blowoff valve - B?
MSD BTM - B?
Boost/Vacuum gauge - A
FPR signal - A (according to Aeromotive tech)

Thoughts or suggestions?

djracer · 02-25-2010, 09:29 PM

Look what I found on my porch.

C20-67_N_MO · 03-06-2010, 06:30 PM

Man thats a very nice setup you have.

Any more updates?
