1979 Trans Am six speed Vortec 350 with CSU blow through, Vortech V1 first test runs and ride along

My friend Dustin decided to go CSU blowthru for his Vortech V1 in his TA. Engine is a stock Vortec 350 with a cam and carb intake. Still running cast manifolds. Car has 3.73 gears. Still working the bugs out and needs to install the MSD box. Boost is only 2-3 lbs at this time, not sure if there is belt issue or what. I tried to convince him to go turbo but he had this blower already. It definitely goes good for the first day. When he gets 6-8 lbs out of it this thing will absolutely fly!

did you have to cut the hood for the blower tubing?  Thanks

@jasonmac119 He had to cut the shaker scoop and it still touches the charge pipe. With the right intake and position of the hat it might clear though without cutting.

id love to know what carb you are using and what you had to do to tune it for the charger?

[zz3astro]

@chargedlt1 He's got a CSU carb on it. Not sure what size but I think around 750 cfm. It ran good but engine is now dead!

@zz3astro bummer !  to much boost or what happend?

[zz3astro]

@chargedlt1 I think he didn't bother changing the oil for the past 15k miles or something!

This car has come a long way from back in the day including a few more cracks in the windsheild I think everyone should have a low buck hot rod like this one. The build was we need this part and dustin said no I said hmm wheres the welder and a big hammerthe best part about this is I got my Olds motor for my Cutlass
