Performance Improvement Suggestions
Please see my signature for current mods / performance. I am looking to pick up a bit more performance looking for low 11's. Lingenfelter advises I am close to being "maxed out" with the M112 S/C and would need to swap out to a M122 if I went with heads or stroker crank- I have no intentions to do that. I am running 6.5 lbs boost so I could up that a bit with a pulley. Would I need water/alcohol injection? Is there some sort of intercooler that would give cooler charge over the "stock" Magnuson set up? Any other things to consider?
I want to stay conservative and not risk blowing up the stock internals save the cam and springs. I have no interest in adding NOS.
Thanks in advance!

From: Providing the most proven supercharger kits for your C5/6/7 609-752-0321
These would be my suggestions.

http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.co...tensioner.html
(we presently are having a sale on these)
http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.co...hol%20Kit.html
That would get you a fair amount more power, and keep you happy for a while. Feel free to call the shop tomorrow if you have any questions.

You can easily push that blower to 10psi. Go to Magnuson's website and look at the temperature output charts for these blowers before you push it any higher than that. I have spoken with an engineer at Magnuson about this very thing. 10psi is the max I would do after my research. One thing the Maggies love is a small shot of nitrous. John Page at 21st Century Muscle Cars has done a handful of 75 shots on these Maggies producing 600/600 at the wheels. That will get you cookin in Crisco!

FunCool,
You are my hero.
I note you are running a fully "built" motor.
What do you estimate is the maximum boost on my "almost stock" LS1 with / without meth injection? What sort of RWHP could I expect?

I think what your asking is how much boost can you run with out meth, is that right? Well you can run a 3.0 pulley ( 8-10lbs of boost )and should go 125-126mph in the 1/4 mile, about 480rwh. With a cam and meth 500rwh is easy.
