Default Blitz SC with AEM CAI

I am going to move forward with the purchase of the Blitz SC. I have gone back and forth between the PE SC and the Blitz SC, and have opted to go with Blitz.

Does any one out there know if the Blitz unit will allow the use of my AEM CAI that I paid like $300 bucks for when I bought the car, or it is going to have to go on ebay?

TIA.

may i ask why u chose the blitz over the power enterprises. the reason i am asking is because there are a few people running the pe one and they are praising it. and i have yet to hear much good coming from the blitz one

i personally like the Blitz blower just because itas been around for a while. and the 3 dial boost controoler is a neat function. ig Jackson Racing stopd scratching themselves and made a blower already, id jump on that before the so called Gretty turbo

The pe is centrifugal and the blitz is screw type. They have different characteristics. From what people are saying who have the pe, it isn't really felt until around 3200 rpm. I believe that the blitz starts right from the bottom of the bower band.

Just out of curiosity, what bad things have you heard about the blitz? I know it has a low power / cost ratio, but aside from that? People are always saying "I've heard bad things about the blitz". I'm not doubting you, but what exactly are these bad things people keep alluding to but not being specific about?

LOW POWER TO COST RATIO!

The thing isn't worth it.

If it was 1000 bucks..........I MIGHT buy it.

the AEM CAI will not fit directly to the blitz or pe...

doesn't the blitz have its own intake?

if you want to still use the AEM you will need a pipe made...
my suggestion is to install the blitz, then see if you want to try adapting the AEM to it...

well yes, one of the main reasons is the lack of power this product produces. secondly is the lack up "upgradability" of this system. to up the boost, you would need a custom pully, which blitz does not make. also, having an electric clutch draws more power from the engine compared to a standard pulley setup on the power enterprises

blitz is currently reworking the s/c setup to put out more power...they know that its not running to its potential, so it can be a 100% reliable kit. so they reworking it for more power output...hks is also workin on a turbo setup as well =)

id reconsider the blitz depending on the new power output and cost.

On our project xB we were running both the blitz s/c and the AEM CAI. Worked fine, there were no issues.

It was an absolute blast to drive, it was much more powerful than stock and the selector switch was a neat addition.

Would I pay the $ myself for my own car? No. It didn't make that much of a difference. Was it awesome to have on a car I didn't have to pay for it on? Oh yeah!

I dunno , it's hard for me to get behind a motor that can only take 7psi or so on a daily interval (safely anyway) Now if someone can make a decent 7psi kit for cheap , I'll be all over it.

Yeah, waiting to see if the pulley will still eat up the hp or not. Great gains in torque, but hp loss due to the pulley set-up.
