RE: YSI Upgrade
After much deliberating, I've decided to go ahead and upgrade from the T-trim to the YSI this Spring!
Just as a recap, I'm keeping my stock LS2 block, but going with a .408 forged stroker, med blower cam, Meth, YSI w/2.85" pulley, 8 rib conversion combo w/OD balancer and the Aeromotive Eliminator intank pump.
I'm currenlty running 1 7/8 LT's w/hi-flo cats, and the Corsa Extreme, so I think that will be sufficient for breathing.
Any other advice? For those running a similar setup, what kind of #'s are you seeing?
Thanks!

Sounds good on the 8 Rib with DD. I'm planning to take all steps to prevent slipping.

Dallas Performance doesn't need to advertise their products. They don't do it on any of the forums, their stuff is some of the best made. It's why most of us run the DP DD.
Trust the advice others have given. Maxing out that YSI on an 8 rib and just an IW overdrive 8 rib is asking for problems. The YSI is not like turning a T trim. I've found that out in the past.

Nice! With that big 427 under the hood, any chance you'll shoot for 1000whp??

I'd contact DP by phone for their DD. Probably will never get a response by PM, I don't see Taylor posting a lot.
Get Arun's stage 3-4 blower cam, and let him or ECS get you the headunit. Arun is a great guy to do business with, proven cams, etc.

Summit Racing is selling new Polished YSI units for 3122.00,.. that may be pretty tough to beat. The shop that is doing the work will be doing the cam. They are excellent engine builders and no doubt have one of the best tuners in the business.
I still have a bit to go before I start though,... things will get underway by the end of Feb.
Also, for you guys runnings 850+ whp, what clutches are you running? I'm currently eyeing the RPS Stree twin carbon which goes for about 1800.00. It's rated at 800whp. RPS has a Triple carbon clutch coming in at 3500.00 which is rated at 1400 hp, but that will be overkill for me. Looking for something that will handle 1000whp comfortably.
Thanks for all of your input!

I got a 080525 and it is too long with the 2.85" and stock (7.25") crank pulley. I think my only option it to go out to a 3.125" for now to get a belt to fit good and then swap to the 8.0" crank down the line when I feel like doing that much work.
