The Mark is Supercharged

Hi all, Here is a picture and video update of my S/C project. It will be dialed in the next few days, and to the dyno within the next week or so. Enjoy

Looking good man, what size vortech?? how many lbs of boost etc.

Please post about the install in the big body forum if you can man. That thing looks sweet, Is that a daily driver for you, or just a "fun" car.

Thanks everyone. This S/C build was professionally managed and installed by Aric Carrion of Injected Engineering - Kennesaw, GA.
ph# 678.449.6871 Injected Engineering Coming Soon!

I highly recommend Aric and his company. As you can see, his work speaks for itself :)

The engine internals are completely stock, and the plan is to lay down 400-450rwhp. Since this is a stock motor, we all know they will not live on the edge too long.

Therefore, real world numbers might be closer to 400rwhp. Aric will decide this while tuning on the dyno. I will post the dyno results as soon as I can, so stay tuned...

The Vortech is a SQ trim, and I have no idea how much boost will be needed for 400rwhp since I have never seen the numbers on a Vortech with a IC on a Mark VIII. I would say ballpark 10-12psi.

I plan to treat the Mark like a daily driver. I work from home, so you can say it is more of a fun car to me since I only drive it a couple times a week.

That kicks ass. Sleeper! Man that Intercooler is really stuffed in there. My Heat exchanger on my Terminator-Powered fox is really stuffed in there too, with fans on it. Sweet!

Went to the dyno last night :) Here is the video of the last two pulls and the dyno sheet.

Aric is going to go ahead and install a Vortech mini race blow off valve to help smooth the idle pulse, and put his boost gauge on it to see what psi it is running at. He still wants to look into a couple things yet, so this is an excellent starting point, or finish point for that matter - since I am already happy with it the way it is.

The weather was nasty yesterday for a tune - hot, and raining, but the intercooler did it's job keeping the air temp only 8 degrees above what the Mark's outside temp gauge showed.

On the down side... I have major traction issues now :)

I have to agree with him on having both.

Either way, car looks sweet man.
