paxton sc

[Randall488]

Been plannin to supercharge the 8.0 for a long tome now and was lookin to pick a few brains for input, Im going with a centrifugal sc and the beat I've seen is the paxton novi 2000. But I ain't sure what all it would take to get my obd1 truck to play nice with all the expensive parts I plan to buy for it.

Advice? Oh and o2 sensors... is there something I can do to get rid of them or fool them?

I'm not wanting to go completely off the wall with this, I really don't want to pull more than 7-8 pounds of boost. I planned on keeping the stock 8.4:1 compression ratio.

i sold mine about 6 months ago,had a paxton novi 2000 on it.i had a speed shop install it...but i might be able to answer some of your questions.

Power gaons, internal mods, fuel mileage, driveabilty, fun to drive?

You sold that truck for way too cheap, Sanchoba.

stock internals,fuel mileage actually went up on the highway,drove just like a stock truck,until it went into boost,down-shifted and took off never had it on a dyno,i think paxton claimed a 45% hp gain. pulled my 7,000# boat like it wasn't there (gobs of torque). my system actually had 3 fuel injectors on the down stream side of the blower. worked with stock ecm,kit came with a fuel pump and their electronics.... never had a problem with it:rock: i had to tap into the oil pan for a return line on lube system. had a kool whistle to it!

The crank and rods will be fine up to a certain point. But you will need a good forged piston set. You will also want a good tune, find someone that knows these motors. After that don't get to greedy with the boost, you should have lots of fun!!!!

What the size of them tires? And that was a very clean truck man I like it alot.

he has the "iron" v-10 (488 C.I.)....pistons can handle it:rock:

Acctually the iron 488 came out of the box with forged aluminum pistons... I agree with caveman though it went too cheap! What year was it. I'm worried the electronics wont work on my 95..

Imma guess 99..? The sport front end looks good in black.

Auto or stick?? If ir was an auto what all did you do to it?

 

[canviper]

WOW! Sanchoba that black V-10 of yours was a beast. I know you sold it but very nice truck. :drool:

 

[INFAMOU$]

I have the Paxton kit on my stock truck with exhaust. Drives like stock and really wakes the truck up a lot! Having come from a Lightning to the 10, I needed the Boost

auto,no work done to it.

 

[Randall488]

Any thing you would recomend while I'm doin this?

 

[SANCHOBA]

if the kit is complete and you have instructions, should be good to go
does your kit have the 3 suplemental injectors?
