Need vendor help. Looking for aftermarket 7.3l CAC\intercooler pipes and plenums

Homesteader · Jul 7, 2013

I personally like the o-ring just because. But yes I know both will work,o-ring seems to be easier to work with if needed to. Just my opinion .

Most times I agree with the o-ring, with the plenums I think even if there was an o-ring, I would not feel comfortable unless I put some Grey Death in there.

I've hit mine with 55# boost now for 12k... Mind you this is not every day, but I will hit 40psi about every trip down the hwy.

NO issues. I will never go back to glue.

Good to know.

Nice! My tunes must be pulled back a lot for my pmrs cause I only get 35-39lbs.

I can peg my 60 lb gauge with an H2E also. Course, Tony has never been accused of being easy on the fuel.

Maybe you guys have bigger turbos than I do. I do not have an H2e, I have a Pius LASB from Jake@Irate. Its a s300 framed charger whith whatever mods Pius did and I believe it uses the QSSB wheel. I think its like 76.2/68 wheel.
Supposed to be pushing around 50psi but optimal to keep it at 45 or under from what I'm told. Maybe I need a bigger turbo so I can keep up with with you guysLOL

That's some nice boost though, that's got to make a big difference over what I have

Just because they are making that kind of boost doesn't mean too much in terms of power. You can make over 500hp with 35-40psi boost pretty easily..

boost=$hit breaks.

I'm trying to reduce as much restriction as possible.

I imagine at their level, something is at high risk

dirk0 · Jul 8, 2013

I can hit that high of boost as well. Got the pics and vids of broken crap to show for it.

CSIPSD · Jul 8, 2013

Boost does not equal HP... Was not showning that to prove anything other then the O-ring works great! Much better design and function.

Thanks, I'm still learning

Agreed...except for 2 things...

1) the resrictive metal at the bottom of the inlet..

2) the mass around the intake to allow for a lttle more of the sealant

we corrected both "flaws"...if we didn't make'em we would push Clay's

I know it's picky but we took it that much further

Nice, I'll remember that for my next ones.
