I just need mo powa. whats the need for that much more power? you would think a blowin 408 with the compression your running would be making some pretty decent power? 100-150 shot on top of what you have might open a can of problems. how many pounds of boost r you running right now? it can be done but thats just a lot of abuse on the motor IMO. i know chase was running a decent shot on his supercharged motor. he might be able to help you out a bit more.

KDavis04ss Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 turn the boost up on that beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Doubling your boost from your 5 to10psi will give you about the same RWHP and kick in the pants as a 100 shot. Your engine will be totally fine at 10psi and your 2.3 whipple can surely pump out 10psi on a 408. Are your running the W140R or the W140AX? EDIT: What injectors are you running? That may be a limiting factor here as your sig states "43#" Edited May 3, 2011 by Krambo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be a limiting factor here as your sig states "43#" I'm about 5/7psi of boost now. It's a w140ax and yea I got vortech 43# injectors. Don't get it wrong the truck now feels really good down low but up top feels it could be better. I don't have any cooling goin on and that's why I was gonna go meth and hit nitrous up top. So u think I could spin this charger to 10psi? The only thng is can't find pulleys for this charger and what size brings me to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
