changed my mind about going LS Turbo...now doing LS/vtec turbo...will the skunk2 be efficient enough?

honestly, unless you're going to stay way up in the high revs, the blox oughta do just fine. same as the skunk2, just less expensive.

the edelbrock is fantastic for the higher rev range, but you lose a lot of midrange torque in sacrifice.

all comes down to where you want the powerband.

 

On an LS unless you have some wild cams and rev high RPMs the Skunk2 will be a much better choice for you.

AGREED

 

planning on maybe the crower 404's

 

if you plan on cams that big go edelbrock.

 

so with big cams and high revs edelbrock and with turbo cams skunk2

 

the vicx will hurt you down low. if you drive the car daily, stop light to stop light, and like to have fun there, use the blox or skunk 2, if you are going to race the car and dont care about anything below 4k i guess cause it isn a ls, go with the vicx.

 

will the skunk2 have any problems when the revs get high?

 

I have Sunk2 for my 97 LS and it hold higher revs just fine but I also havnt boosted it yet and so dont know how the final result will be. ( trying for 8 psi)

 

i dont think it will be a dramatic difference between both in most f/i setups unless you have a full out drag car. Just go with the blox and call it a day, take the money you saved and throw it towards tuning.

yeah people run stock intake manifolds making good power im sure this wont hold you back too far.

 

Victor X

You aren't all motor....everything changes when you start cramming air into the combustion chambers. Victor X FTW regardless.

 

Victor X

 

so victor x for turbo and skunk2 for all motor.

for your set up yes its the best idea the only other one tho maybe the BBK SSI it works great but its the same thing as the victor x basically just painted black.

 

thanks..bbk is also cheaper than edelbrock...thanks again great help
