Fuel and blower capability question
Hey all, I have a 2008 Z06 with a built ERL superdeck 6 bolt block, a cam by james short (246/254 112LSA 108icl 0.652/0.630) AI 280cc heads, Mantic Triple Disk, MSD Atomic intake, LG 1 7/8 headers, catless x pipe, gutted stock mufflers, Walbro 450 LPH, LS9 injectors and a dsx E85 flex fuel sensor kit. Considering going the Forced Induction route. I know the cam isn't the greatest for boost, but how far power wise am I looking with a Ti trim (V1 probably to spin it faster) 95lb/hr injectors and a BAP? Kind of want to avoid dropping the tank this year (or altogether). End goal is 850-900whp on E85. Will that setup hold that much power? Will the blower even make it that far or should I just go straight to the Ysi or D1X?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You need more injector and pump for sure. Honestly- AA fuel system is nice overall and I'd do at least a 1200cc injector. Personally- I ran out of fuel on a 1200cc injector with 2 large meth nozzles on a D1X. I went to 2150's but I'm a max effort setup and mine is making way more then it should based on the D1X cfm. The D1X is a bad little bit$h. I am also overspinning the **** out of mine. Edit to say I'm on a 450 in tank at 14.5 volts and a Magnafuel 4303 that is 18 volts. I run E and stay at 75 ish E content. I try and race on VPX85 when possible. I have some FIC 1200's that have a few dyno pulls for anyone looking...

T trim can’t get you even close to what your motor should be able to handle. If your end goal is 800-850 the T trim is fine. I personally would do something like a d1x or f1a94 to really allow it to shine but like others said you’re gonna need more fuel system. I think that cam will work fine with a centri blower just because most NA cams work well with them.

With a 427 that can handle boost why waste time with a T trim? I would get a YSI or a even better a D1x. You can always pulley down but you cant ever go higher than a maxed out blower.
Also i recommend more fuel pump and at least 1100cc injectors. I run FIC1300s
