What's your setup? It would be interesting to see pre and post data. I assume your unit has received the SI-Trim upgrade from the standard S-Trim?

The link doesn't work for me? I'd like to see it.

it's been so long since i worked on it, i hardly remember what i've done to it. yes, it was a standard s-trim upgraded to Si. my numbers i've posted were with SHM blower grind cams which were installed incorrectly. it never would pass smog, so i had some '04 cams installed by some guys in cameron park. shawn, i think. anyway, before i could get it tuned it started making some top-end noise and i quit driving it.

here's the pic i had attached. it went away when i tried to delete the op

i picked up a set of billet oil pump gears and valve seals which i still need to install before putting it all back together again. i also would like to install an intercooler while i have it apart. any recommendations? was looking at the piping kit from cx racing on ebay, but the seller was unable to answer my question about whether it would fit my application. it was like talking to a broken record, "the kit will fit the vortech supercharger as shown in the photo". yeah, sure buddy, but will it fit a v1 s-trim ccw in my 1998 cobra? smh...

I use a Treadstone 1245 and piping built by myself.

I have the CXracing intercooler and piping setup and for the most part it fit my car. I got a Vortech BOV and PMAS MAF so I had to buy a couple extra pieces. I also had to cut a hole right in front of the strut tower to route the piping.

Let me know if you need any pics

thank you!

Does the Vortech BOV eliminate the annoying flutter noise the CX Racing unit has at part throttle?



OP I have the CX Racing FMIC kit on my 04 GT as well and like mentioned it fits but requires cutting the RF inner fender shelf to get the pipe to the Tbody. I just used a sawsall to make 2 straight cuts and then folded the section down out of the way. That way should I ever want to return it to stock I can just fold it back up and weld it back together.

Yup, there is no annoying flutter at part throttle. I have it vented to the atmosphere and both supercharged and turbocharged guys like the sound. This is the valve I have except mine is blue - https://www.steeda.com/vortech-maxflow-racing-mustang-bypass-valve-640-8d204-001.html
