Yeah no restrictor, 14 psi pulley, ported heads, cam, double meth 40% e85 i lose boost as it goes up I go from 13-11

You lose boost when you're on e40? Or just in general it falls off? That doesn't sound right. Sounds like belt slip if it happens all the time or the car is starving for fuel if it only happens on e40. The bell would add a pound or two of boost I would just make sure you're not solely on 93 when you run the bell. I don't run my bell on just 93.

Whats the 14 psi pulley? You mean the 3.75? I didn't see 14 psi with just the 3.75 pulley. Had to run the bell to get to 14 and up.

Good to go bro! ...we had a 1500 and the best we could do was 800.2 rwhp. We upgraded several things but among those, we upgraded to a ECS 2200 head unit (around 22 pounds of boost). Kept our 1500 kit in place and basically upgraded the just the head unit and bigger meth nozzles. We hit 1182 rwhp but we are running out of fuel. We need to upgrade our fuel delivery setup.

We are super happy for ya hitting THAT high of a number on a 1500 head unit!!! Awesome!!!

I hit 900whp off my ecs 1500 unit with 3.75 pulley, im also looking to upgrade to a more efficient head unit. Would be nice if ecs didn't want 5k for a new head unit and 10 rib conversion, that's more than the whole 1500 kit cost ... anyone have a cheaper solution for a more efficient head unit

i meant 3.75 pulley and yeah my boost goes down from 13.5 psi to 10.5 or so towards the end of the pullley also my fuel and meth, and e85 is maxed out. I wish there was a cheaper route for more efficient head unit than spending 5k for a 2200

Id love to upgrade to the 2200, but yea I worry about the low side fuel system. What did it cost to upgrade to the 2200? Didn't you have to upgrade to a 10rib setup also?

yeah u have to get an innovators west balancer 10rib belt and 2200 unit is a little over 5k in parts, no labor its crazy more than a fulll 1500 kit, I wonder if there different prochargers or some other headunits that will bolt right up

Good questions. I know motorhead switched to one. I don't know if the F1X is a 8 rib or 10 though. Bracket wise I am sure it bolts right up, but the intercooler piping and stuff would need to be tweaked im sure.

Pro head unit require different mounting brackets. There are brackets available from ecs that allow the use of a pro head unit with their (ecs) kit.

why are the torque numbers so low in your dyno sheets? Im getting 819whp 725wtq on barely 10 pounds on ecs1500.. This dyno shows 851/673 at 13 pounds... WTF am I missing.
