Default Forced induction procharger

Hey guys I’m new to this page so I had just one question . I have a 2017 procharged grandsport . F1A on 10 lbs of boost , cam , Heads , headers and alky control and according to the shop it’s pushin 781 to the wheels on a stock LT1 block . Im on pump gas so I was wondering am I pushing to much power out of my engine or is this as fast as a stock LT1 can go with just these modifications , any help?

It’s been the general consensus that 650-700 is about the max on the LT1 due to tight stock ring gaps. A set of pistons would be ideal for your set up.

Are u on stock fuel pump and injectors?
I would not go over 700 rwhp with stock pistons.
funny thing here is im in process same combo as u but i did forged pistons and z06 fuel pump and injectors
I had 680 rwhp with stock Lt1 with a D1,meth and headers and pistons still looked new

Diamond drop-in forged pistons. They are the same weight as the stock pistons so the rotating assembly will not need to be balanced.

We actually have them on sale right now: https://weaponxmotorsports.com/produ...rvette-cts-v-1

I would also recommend running LT4 high pressure fuel pump and injectors or even FIC +30% injectors if you can justify the $$.

So to my my understanding , this is all I need to keep me on the safe side with my current set up on pump gas and meth?

I would actually add a Z06 FPDM to ensure your lowside pressure stays up. They are inexpensive though, right around $100.

So Z06 HPFP, FIC +30% injectors, and Z06 FPDM and you will be all set. We do not have the FPDM's on our website but if you would like to PM I can set you up with one,
