from an engineering standpoint would it be safe to run boost with the AAM or motordyne spacers? ie would they leak because of the 2 sets of gaskets?i plan on going vortech in the future and want to do the whole plenum mod, or spacer, but dont wnat to be stuck with something that has to be taken off when the blower goes on. thoughts please!

 

You'll be OK.

 

I have the AAM spacer and Vortech now for about 1k miles and no problem..

 

Turbo + Motordyne = Good. See sig.

 

thanks guys, hey jpc what kind of numbers are you putting down?? and i see you have dc stainless, how did that effect your exhaust note? i have the hi power exhaust at rt cat combo and its a tad raspy unless its really hot. getting them put in tomorrow and i cant wait to see how it sounds.

 

The headers made the exhaust note very noticable and mean sounding..The last dyno with the 3.12 pulley got me 314 ft lbs Tq. and 380 Hp..

 

No Leaks! Tested to 15PSI on vehicle and 30PSI on the bench. CNC Quality mating surfaces have a better finish then stock and we use a modified OEM gasket to ensure 100% sealing.

 

thank you for all the input! looks like its a spacer afterall.

 

Just to add to Dave's mention.. I am running the AAM spacer and doing boost up to 10 PSI now. Running fine for over 2K miles.
Building engine and expect to be running MUCH higher in the spring....

 

let us know how it goes.

 

Will do.

I think either Dave or I will start a thread about the build soon. It should be pretty extensive and take a few months to get everything done right.
