It is holding up great so far, hopefully the tranny cooler is doing its job.

 

Nice to hear, how many miles on it. Hope my tranny cooler does the job too.

 

Mike! What gauges are you planning on getting? For something simple i recommend getting the Blitz. This system can read AFR out of the box, no additional sensor is required, also i know 2 other users that got oil temp readings out of the box. It seems like a pretty good deal imo but the down side is there is no Boost sensor output so you need to get a analog boost gauge. There is a oil pressure sensor you can get too! Check them out!

+1 for the Blitz.

 

Very nice !! Subbed for further updates !! Congratulations on convicing the better half to agree on such a hefty purchase LOL. I will have to convince mines pretty hard core.

 

Hey thanx guys wiser was a little EH let me.She's
AWESOME.

Thanx Weiboy the Blitz stuff is really good. But I have To check Stillen site for that. I
got about 600$ in Stillenbucks to use after this purchase.

 

hehe! Stillen bucks is only for Stillen products i think.

 

congrats bro

 

Highly recommend a vented hood, bigger radiator, and the largest oil cooler you can get to go with the SC (ordered least to most important)

 

Hey Mike,

I will be looking onto a hood this summer,but no one makes anything I like...I did order the oil and trans cooler, I made sure a I got those things, Honestly thing the kit should come with those..

 

How many row is the oil cooler.

 

I'm pretty sure it is the 18 row. Josh asked me if I was not tracking the car the 18 row( non-race) cooler would be enough.

Question on gauges tho any thoughts on this,,

It's most likely the 19 row. Thats good as you really don't have a lot of room in there.

Don't like the blitz gauge?

 

Yeah, the hoods tend to look tacky, but they're SUPER functional. They multiply any cooling you already have. I would consider sealing the engine bay front too, as it'll improve cooling for super cheap (less than 20 bucks).

That cooler would honestly be good for highway pulls, and even then, maybe 2 back to back pulls at a time. If you're planning on going WOT for an extended time (more than ~20 seconds), it probably wont be enough.


As for gauges, have you looked at the PLX for ARK MFD2? (yes, that ARK). Gauges and all the probes/sensors will probably cost you another 1k. The ones I'd recommend you get are oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, and EGT. Boost and AFR are moot, as you'll know if either are off via other symptoms.

 

I do like the blitz but I did not like losing the radio display, ?? The edge gauges are the type I may thing I'm leaning towards, Becasue our cars have ZERO room for gauges and or a gauge pod , Somehing all in one is what I want,
An reading of the factory ECU and being able to read and clear codes is nice,, Reminds me of my Cobb tuner.
