Help.. More power 304

[Pasticheny]

Hey guys..

The time has come that the old girl needs abit more power.. I hav done abit of reading and decided to supercharge the 304.. Just that there's so many options I can't make up my mind.. Capa hav a kit.. Raptor hav a kit.. Yella terra hav the terra charge and whipple kits.. Just wanna know the pros and cons and what ur persoal options are on the chargers I listed and also should I go trutac or kaaz? They the same? Price is similar
Cheers

top mount charger will always be better for street cars then side mount ones will be. top mount will come on boost faster then side mounts. They are more expensive but. The whipple kits look pretty sweet.

[Pasticheny]

but the side mount kits are very easy to install.. and u can putt around off boost when u want to do ur eco bit :P the capa kit is around $7000 and is 250rwkws.. raptor is around $6000 and is around 220rwkws.. terra charger is $5000-6000 and is lowest at 210rwkws.. not to sure about the whipple kits power.. havnt spoken to yella terra bout them yet hmmmm

[VR028]

the whipple is a great kit but costs alot of money. if it were me id go with the raptor kit. thats the best if ur on a tight budget i reckon

[Pasticheny]

any opinions or trutrac or kaaz? whats the difference? is 1 rated to higher kws? im just sick of rebuilding shitty borg warner lsd every 12 months

heard good things about the trutrac. I'd be looking at one of those if i were in the same boat

[dirt drifter]

i think a truetrac locks under accelleration whereas a kaaz 2 way locks (or close to locked) under gas and braking, can make the back step out a bit if u go into a corner too hot and hit the brakes hard while turning in. i've heard a truetrac can take 700hp dunno what the kaaz can take.

also the truetrac is either freewheeling or locked.. no in-between. but the kaaz's locking varies on how much accelleration/decelleration forces its copping

from what i've heard if u like drags and powerskids get a truetrac, if u like circuit/drift/carving thru windy roads go the kaaz

i got a kaaz in my mild 5L vs and love it

as for the blower question. i looked into stroking/forced induction/LS1 swap. and decided on the YT whipple kit for the power delivery/economy. haven't bought one yet though

[Pasticheny]

ah beauty thanks for the help mate

Truetrac is a mechanical LSD, It uses worm gears under load to transfer torque from side to side.
Not the best for going sideways everywhere but great for traction and very strong.

This opposed to the factory and KAAZ style centers which use clutches or cones (IIRC). Anywhere you have a friction surface to transfer power, you're bound to have slip.

Wiki diff LSD info

[Pasticheny]

Trutrac it is.. Booked in for tomorrow morning to hav 1 installed.. I'll let y'all know how It goes

[Pub247]

You live near morrabin airport? Pasticheny?

[Pasticheny]

Yea sorta.. Who is asking?

[Pub247]

Lol If your who i think your are i installed your Level 3 cluster

It's a nice ute thats for sure

[Pasticheny]

No sorry I only hav a level 2 xD.. But if u keen to help me out with a level three I could thro some cash at ya .. I'm in bentleigh.. U seen me driving round I presume?

[Pub247]

No sorry I only hav a level 2 xD.. But if u keen to help me out with a level three I could thro some cash at ya .. I'm in bentleigh.. U seen me driving round I presume?

lol well thats crazy i saw your picture and it reminded me of another person almost an identical ute which is why i though he was you
I probably havent seen your ute getting sorry for confusion. but anyways level 3's are a good mod

[Pasticheny]

got the trutrac in today.. goes great so far.. no more clunking round with the full spool.. drives great and still gets sideways no cheap tho..

[soop]

Center shouldn't have cost more then $800 from my research. What did you pay to have it fitted?

[Pasticheny]

:| more then that.. apparently the pre LS1 diffs (BW80) are around 800.. but the BW78 diffs hav to get machined or some from harrop.. so close more xD

[ryno_vrx]

i just recently had the raptor kit installed in my vr v8 and i'm enjoying the hell out of it, i'd highly recommend the kit to anyone plus it looks better then the capa kit

[mr j-man]

yeah mate go the raptor...you can get all ya piping and blower all polished if ya want at no xtra.....haha the capa kits do look shit too!

[soop]

How good are Raptors??

[Pasticheny]

Hmm that vt with the low 15 quarter mile got me like errrrrr.. Maybe yella terra then

[VR028]

Be prepared though because a yt whipple kit is going to cost alot more than the raptor.

[Pasticheny]

I was thinking more alng the lines of the terra charge kit.. It's around 6k with 200rwkws.. Not much really.. But will be 'faster' say some of my fellow members.. Just don't like the look of the suplamentry injectors and analog computer tune thing on top of the terra chargers.. Might hav to just make do

[soop]

for what it costs to go FI properly, you migh as well build a high comp NA.
