Porting Supercharger and TB...

[MatthewAMEL]

Has anyone taken advantage of this available mod yet? I know @tapouttuning offers the package. I have seen one post from someone who went 'all in' on the mods, but I am just interested in the TB and SC. Codes? Any abnormal behaviors?

I currently live in Orlando, but soon moving to Denver and I know I will miss all of my horses. Would like to use this as a way to recover some of the lost power.

Thanks!

Hey, @WONT TAP

Anyone running the intake side (TB/SC) with no codes?

We worked with Alek from Illinois to boost his car up over 700 whp. Even with all existing mods, he hasn't set ANY codes or Check Engine light with nearly 2,000 miles!

Kong Stage X Supercharger Porting - Tapout Tuning

If you are looking to maximize the airflow through your LT4 supercharger, Kong Performance has you covered. Their supercharger port designs are based on years of hand porting experience. All of their latest ports were designed, created, tested, and programmed on their 5 axis CNC in house using...

These mods are on my want list, but anyone else a little hesitant until they gain some confidence that their LT4 was built properly?

I have a similar concern that is slightly allayed by knowing the dealer will have no way to know the SC has been ported and it's a quick swap to change out the TB if necessary for service.

I'm thinking that there is way more work involved. Once SC housing ported there is no going back if you also went with larger TB

If you are already porting the supercharger you might as well get a smaller pulley, the labor is already done.

But as mentioned, 2000 miles later full mods, no cats, no check engine

^^^^ Ck beginning around post #60 or so. @Shholliday did both mods awhile back SC and TB, I remember he replied to me no CEL had come on.

Im guessing your 6M becomes a 5M at that point? Both mods? Rip the shoes off it!

Can anybody attest to boost level on 5 being affected by all these mods? Does it allow making extra power at observed lower boost with freer breathing or does it still reach 8-9 lbs of boost with upgrades

I checked them out. Those guys seem legit. The expansion tank and heat exchanger are really interesting for road racing.

Is this correct? No cats no CEL? I would love to remove the cats just for the sound difference alone!

Car has 2200 miles. No cats. No CEL, all monitors are set too, no idea what’s going on, I own a shop as one of my businesses and getting a GM to not throw a CEL with any sort of exhaust issue is incredibly demanding, and yet here is my blackwing, no cats, smaller pulley, ported SC, bigger throttle body, running smoothly.
