It also posts very good numbers for stock engines.  To complement Boosted Performance I would purchase the F.I. Exhaust and I would get the Z1 clutch with the ZSpeed HD CSC and Master replacement. I am not sure if I will also get the flywheel or stay stock. For the BP kit I am paying tuning fees unless I jack everything to hell. The exhaust and clutch got quoted for $440 by Knoxville Performance and Dyno Tuning Center. All in all that is not too shabby in price for everything. For those that haven't upgraded the OEM MAFs, have you had any issues with A/F reading? Can the stock support 480 to 550 whp decently? |
I have no AFR reading issues. I bounce around 14.7 closed loop and low 11's WOT. My MAFs are maxed out but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone buying a BP kit now as they now come with 3" intake tubes and my version is 2.75". I maxed the MAF at 503whp but some are running slightly more than that. The upgraded 3" intake tubes should eliminate MAF issues on a stock block. Now if you are building a block I would budget for the UpRev MAFs.
Z1's clutch setup is great, I have no issues with it but I would recommend the 6 puck. FI exhaust all the way!
Join the BP club bro, it's well worth it!!!
