DEZOD MOTORSPORTS: ALPHA SERIES V-band Manifold Installed (Page 21)
#381
Timing numbers are not magical and are very contingent upon the user's setup and fuel used. Stock on this engine sees about 18-22 degrees at WOT. This still holds true approximately until 6 PSI or so on the average setup with a log manifold.

I'm just curious to the advantages of a 30 vs 35 seeing that spool times are comparable and there's no upcharge with the Alpha kit to get either. Thermal efficiency would imaginably be better in the higher horse power range... Plus leave room to go higher. That's my thought process; I wanted to know more of the advantages since I'm approaching this crossroad soon. I'm no judging or being a wise guy.

Well I can start with the basics.....
The new alpha series includes a longer SS braided oil feed line, which will have to be substituted in place of the one we include with the S1. We also include a push lock rubber SS drain line as well, which needs to be substituted in place of the one we include with the S1 as well.
The stock intake pipe is no longer needed due to the new turbo placement and MAF needing to be relocated.
We relocated the MAF onto the pipe going into the TB for a blow-through setup to make tuning with the APR X1 easier.
We re-fabbed the lower hot side IC pipe to the turbo to fit the new turbo placement.
That is where we are at at the moment. I will post pics in a bit.

Note we had to change the diameter of this pipe to 2.5" because a smaller 2.25" MAF pipe would skew the results of the MAF readings. Because the X1 uses the stock MAF, we had to take that extra measure. Had we been using a speed density setup like Haltech, AEM EMS, Hydra etc...the MAF pipe diameter would not make a difference. The MAP sensor is what is reading pressure, not the MAF.
