i have most of a vortech v-2 kit for my '01 2500HD 6.0L 5-speed. I have $1,200 to get this setup on my truck and working properly. I know i am missing: diverter vavle, oil feed lines, and high flow pump... i have pictures of what i have, and some questions+optioniable setups below pics:




my options:
1) call up vortech and just have them send me their programmer, oil lines, diverter vavle, and in-line pump and just put this thing on like it was made to be put on from vortech? do i need any kind of fuel pressure regulator? in the picture on vortechs site i see one mounted on the firewall of the truck for my application

2) kinda sorta do a custom app, buy the oil lines from vortech, run a front mount intercooler and custom piping, run a blow off vavle, and get a custom tune.. but my questions with this are- would i do a blow through maf? or have it like the vortech kit and have the maf before the charger? also, i have 42lb injectors, should i go with a walboro 255 pump and that only, or should i just run stock pump and a higher flow in-line pump?

 

Option 2. Get a speed-density tune, that way you'll be ready when you turn the boost up. Definitely do an intercooler. Use a Supra pump in-tank, and figure out how to install it in the bucket without butchering the bucket.

 

And what brand are those injectors? I've been just dying to find pink injectors!

 

They are for breast cancer awareness...lol

 

i used 8.1 injectors and 255 from a cobra mustang. ive seen people run the maf right before the throttle body when doing an inter cooler and put blow off valve before the maf, just what ive seen work, im wondering the same thing when i do my intercooler though. i have the stock bosch bypass laying around, i just intalled a turboxs racing bypass valve part#rbv-25, its polished and looks and operates great. it cost about $163 at www.turboxs.com. also when i intercool it, im going with the kit for f150 at cxracing.com.

 

well i picked up a few more peices to the puzzle... bought a procharger booster pump and a diverter vavle from a buddy to use for now... so now all im lacking is basically the oil lines, a tune, and some vacuum lines and a boost guage. ill be ordering the oil lines this week... i may end up just biting the bullet and going ahead with the intercooled setup- can the head unit be clocked? otherwise i dont know how ill run the piping since the outlet is facing directly towards the throttle body... no room to run piping that way. whats the best way to wire the booster pump? i was thinking of splicing into the power to the stock pump through a relay...
