Hello I'm getting one of your brackets but I do not know which one to get the 6 rib or the 8 rib? I'm only planning on making 10 psi of boost on a stock bottom end for now! But in the future I would like to have more boost! And a forged bottom end! So what are you suggestions? How hard is it to change a 6 rib to a 8 rib or would it be better to do it now? What is the cost difference? What is max boost with a 6 rib before it starts slipping?

denscor: Just goi with the 6 rib. My newest bracket will suppoort 10# on a six rib, no problem. Much more than that would be better off with an 8 rib.
When you decide to upgrade you'll just have to buy the 8 rib pulley kit. The full setup is a little over $900. I'll ugrade the bracket itself at no charge when you do.
Thanks.

Hey Andy,
Last time we spoke I mentioned getting my car down there for you to tune on your NEW dyno..
What I forgot to mention is that I'm currently using EFIlive to tweak here and there and will most likely be running in SD w/ a 2bar by the time I get to you. I'd like to be able to retain programming under EFI and am wondering if that's what you would/could use.

Andy,
I'm getting ready to order your P1SC kit and have a few questions.
1. What else do I need besides the base kit?
2. I don't want to blow the engine quite yet, what would be a safe boot 5psi? and what pulley size? 4.50? I also have headers, which I could put the stock exhaust back on if necessary for safe power levels.
Thanks

magdc5: I use LS1 Edit for tuning. Haven't messed with the 2 bar at all.
Watch22: All you'll need is a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump or an in tank pump to finish the installation. I can flash your PCM with a safe tune for $100.
I use a 4.10 pulley on the LS1 and 4.25 on the LS6. With a consevative tune, that will be nice and safe. Leave the headesr on, that's free horsepower.
jbkblown: No my belt will be shorter. I'll get you the correct belt size, depending on your pulley size.

The short block is $3500 including any cam you choose, double roller timing chain, oil pump, forged pistons and rods. I have them on the shelf already built.
Call me for installation prices. The install would require a complete removal and reinstallation of your Vortech supercharger system as well as an engine R&R. What about heads? Are you upgrading or leaving them stock? A lot of variables.

Hey Andy
could you tell us how much rwhp a 04 zo6 and take fi. What i mean is where is the cut off point say for the stock fuel system with a boost a pump. The stock pistions , clutch , rear , trans etc. I have plans to up grade my clutch and rear when i go fi. The car will be used for drag racing with dr or dot slick. thanks Peter

The average Z06 will make about 560 RWHP with just my blower system and a set of headers. The fuel system is upgraded with just a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump.
That's about the limit on the fuel system without a major overhaul.
While I've seen the stock pistons take more than this, I think this is also just about on the edge.
At this level, you'll want hardened output shafts and an upgraded clutch for track use. For a street application, I'd leave the clutch and rear alone until you actually need them. The tires will give up before the clutch.
Hope this helps.
