Vortech blown 360 dyno day
Bill, Now it makes more sense to me. I've worked with procharger stuff, Fords and a couple GMs. But really it's not my cup of tea..lol. What I have seen is the Vortec aftercooler setup. It's a very compact water to air heat exchanger that goes between the blower output and the carb hat. It is a closed system, with it's own little radiator and pump for the water. the kit was for LS1 GMs in the early 2000s. In any event, a typical air to air custom intercooler would lower the charge by about 90° dependant on boost IIRC. These were units with cores about 6" by 15". The aftercooler was an enclosed aluminum box about 5"x8", and cooled the charge by 120° at 10psi. Very cool (pun intended) system, and never needed any topping off. Anyway, I agree on the hyper piston thing. You'll know immediately if you have a detonation issue...lol. I saw plenty of Mod motors full of previously cast piston bits back when Sean Hyland was starting to do them. I can appreciate your reasons. It's a great result so have some fun. Nice job Bill.
