Paxton novi 2000 install question.

[DevilDawg3097]

Hi,my crank pins sheared so i went with the Roe heavy duty ones.Throw the stock Paxton ones away imo.

hes right the roe pins I belive have a ten ton share strength. the kit is only 40 bucks from sean and very simple. If you share these off then you have other problems.:marchmellow:

okay,reading the instruction, next question, for those that have headers, what did you all do to mount the intercooler support bracket that mounts to the original exhuast manifolds, or is it not needed?

Good question, I would like to know myself as I don't have headers yet but would like to in the future.

you dont need stinking headers, if you do you are better off selling em to pay for a good dc tune or for a meth spray kit

 

[mr. anderson]

they're already on the truck, and I think it's necessary for good flow as a safety measure to keep temps down.

I'm not running headers...

LOL my friend you havent been around long enough to fully understand this...But just to slightly bring you up to speed,.. headers on SRT with the blower dont generate much more if any HP according to DC perf. Not only that they actually out out more underhood heat which does not help the paxton heat soak "issues" Also the the supertank put out 700hp with the paxton thru stock manifolds. They flow pretty well believe it or not. Like I said, better off selling em to pay for a good tune from DC or roe or to get the meth kit

DOnt take my word for it, Search headers here and dig deep, real deep

There's more to it than that.

First, there's a list of stuff that needs to be done differently if you install headers with a Paxton, including fabricating a different IC support bracket.

Heat soak is not any more an issue with coated headers than with stock manifolds. The exposure of the air intake tube and IC to the exhaust heat is somewhat minimal, and you can insulate against it anyway. If you really dig deep (as suggested), you'll find it's due to the Gerber-sized radiator and water reservoir that Paxton includes with the kit.

Excepting the possibility of a reduction in MAP due to the more free-flowing exhaust, an engine should ALWAYS produce more HP with a good set of headers, blown or not. The factory manifolds are good, but cannot compete with long tube headers for flow.

ordered the roe crankpin kit. price went up. it was $66 plus shipping.

blah, blah blah . . .not trying to beat a dead its already been proven
