[wabirch]

Subscribed, watching this with much interest. Good luck with the install.

running the heater hose down the driver side fit? How much room is there between the block and DOB manifold?

Plenty of room. Pix of mine.

New alternator

The possibilities are almost endless with this manifold, here are a few pics of my second install. Mine is set for 500 rwhp and 480 rwtq. I have not had any issues with mine and it has been on two cars now ( wrecked the first ) my first build was in November. Yes it fits under the stock hood

Link,

What size pulley are you using to get to that 500hp mark? I understand there are a ton of variables, but was just curious.

 

[b00stedgt]

That is pretty much how the heater hose for the whipple is routed. How much did the whole project cost you?

He is using the 14 lb pulley. I got the same one with my manifold. Not sure on the size though. here is a pic of it though.

 

[S197gt07]

Hmm, well the size is what matters! I have the stock pulley and a metco 2.59 thats why I ask.

I think link has a 2.57" for 14psi. Standard with the kit is 2.7" for 12psi. Myself and one guy I know of for sure opted for a 2.875" for 10psi. Numbers in my sig with a brenspeed "toon".

 

[S197gt07]

So the kit comes with its own pulley? Will I be able to swap GT500 pulleys?

I figure I'll start out with the 3" beast they come with stock

The pulleys are custom made from DOB...standard gt500 pulleys wont work

So any pulley thats included with the blower I get is useless?

Re-sell it. You can ask Jason for a 3" pulley. I would imagine it would produce 8psi.

I won't be ordering the manifold till fall, but I'll keep that in mind.
