Yea I noticed the 16 psi pulley, but it also comes with a 10 so that should be alright right? Also is there anything else needed or is that setup pretty complete?

see if you can find out what size the 10# pulley is... should be 3.48" on a stock motor.

that's a pretty damn complete setup. you may want to move the IAT sensor to the discharge tube, which is no big deal.

I gave him my number so he is going to call me later today. I will ask him..

90mm throttle body?
What size is the 10# pulley?
Can the IAT sensor be moved to the discharge tube?
What kind of fuel pump?

Anything else I should ask?

you don't have to ask him about the IAT, it's something I recommend you do if you get it.

ask him if the seals leak and what's the mileage. not like he'll tell you the truth...lol.

In the post he said it has 3000 miles. I also forgot to say that it's coming with a intercooler but no piping.

Ok this is what the guy said...The throttle body is a typo actually. The throttle body is a 75mm, which is the largest that is feasible. I must have been thinking of my SS Camaro FAST 90mm throttle body while i was typing. Anyhow, the 10# pulley, i do not know what size, but i know it is on the unit presently because i was making 10 lbs with it. And the fuel pump is whatever Vortech sends with the kit, I used the Cobra Dual pumps, thats why I did not use the fuel pump that came with it. I believe it appears to be like a Walbro fuel pump.

75mm makes more sense. don't use that pump, it's not for 99 up returnless style cars...focus SVT or Cobra pumps are the only way to go.

If you have cobra dual pumps and a returnless system, that's what the Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump is for. Check out tech articles on Kennebell.net for more on that. I could be wrong, but 42# injectors sound kinda big for 10#, I would think 30#s would do it. But if you ever decide to do internals and run 16psi, at least you'll have the big injectors.

Well I havent heard back from the guy in a couple days so I have a feeling that he sold it. I've seen searching around and found someone selling a new kit ( the other one I was looking at was used for 3000 miles) This new kit includes....

Vortech V2-SQ S-Trim Tuner Kit
60lb Siemens/Deka Fuel Injector Set
SVT Focus Fuel Pump Assembly
SCT BA-2400 90mm Big Air MAF Meter
Custom Tuned SCT XCalibrator 2 with 3 Custom Programs and User Adjustable Features!
NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
New IAT Wiring Harness Extension
New IAT Grommet
New IAT Sensor


I don't know why it comes with 60lb injectors though.

60's idle and drive better than 42's, plus they'll support you to 650rwhp+... and they're only $50 more than 42's...

that sounds like a nice kit, very complete.

30's only support about 350 rwhp on a FI applicaton.

How much you think that kit should go for? I think it has close to 800 in extras and I forgot to mention it comes with a afm pipe.
