Default 8.1L, switching from mass air to speed dencity

so im back on ordering crap for the sububran now that we have moved and got all the little things fixed in the new house...well for now...

anyway... here is my run down of parts not included with the whipple blower set up, this is what i have ordered / in the garage... if im over looking let me know.

Cam, springs retainer, push rods..
60 lb injectors
intake gaskets
water pump gasket
oil pan gasket
new timing gears/chain.
timing cover gasket
valve cover gaskets
upper rad hose ( just because im in there)
Lower rad hose ( ditto)


I think all i think i need a 2 bar map sensor to convert to speed density.. but im not sure which i need... i think i read some place i need one for a turbo cobalt?

lot of them gaskets you dont need, you will see that when you go to replace them. Dont know what you have for the whipple so far. pistons would be smart.

That's what I'm using. It's a direct bolt on.

from what ive been told once you have gone with forced induction, turbo or supercharger its easier to tune. the MAF sensor will not rear boost from what ive been told.
