I have a 1990 SHO with the following.
stage 1 clutch master cluch
8lb flywheel
quafie
cable shift
shonut motor mounts
ALSFB
TPR bushings everywhere
koni/eibach
H brace
BMR rear lateral arms
sub frame connectors
11.6 and 13" cobra brakes for the front.
stock rear brakes with no portioning valve present
dynomax exhaust
stock Y-pipe
what I have left over from my turbo ATX build
SHOshop injectors
lincoln 80mm MAF
lots of piping and scrap steel.
What I bought uggg
I bought off road SHO's M80 blower setup from his buggy a while back with the plans to run low boost and increase the fun of my track car/ daily driver. With this setup the car is a animal on the street and it does extremely well at the track too. I throw some R comp tires on this setup = tons O fun until I get home then I replace both front wheel bearings because they are wiped a couple weeks later. a gen 3 subframe is in the works too
The problem with my buying the kit is I always have things laying around. Why put on the M80 when I have a perfectly good M90 sitting around, an why put a M90 on when I can get a M112 for a couple hundred bucks. I only want 8-10psi because this is going to be a track car and I don't want to turn the transmission to scrap. I don't know the MTX like I know the ATX as far as durability should I stick with 8psi do I don't have to worry about input shafts and 3rd gear? Also what clutch is good for handling that kind of power.
I have another option floating around in my head. I bought the pistons for the camaro project and they are just collecting dust because I still don't have a adapter plate so I was pondering throwing those in a 3.2 block I have sitting around and doing the blower with those so I would have a fresh 3.24L with 8.5 compression. 8-10psi of boost and I could do that sneaky nitrous setup I have been wanting to do forever. Just not sure how big of a shot I can use and not break the transmission. I know the engine would be bulletproof so I wonder if I could do that boost + a 150shot for the occasional street encounter when I really feel the need to waste a Zo6
*what clutch? will the stage 1 handle low boost?
*where do I draw the line to keep for trans reliability? (remember this is a track car first and foremost)
*dual core rad enough?
* keep stock pistons for higher compression or use 8.5 pistons with larger displacement. we are comparing a refreshed 3.2 to a overbore 3.24. I am kind of thinking run stock pistons to keep the weight down.
