Did anyone do a similar build? I will be on 93 pump gas. What psi boost will I see? Anyone take a guess on rwhp? She was at 680rwhp, no meth and 9psi. 4.0 pulley. Stock compression

Is that a GPI kit? We've been selling a bunch of the GPI drop in kits and they work great. We've had them up to 800 rwhp without issue.

OP here if me you really need to check are get the pistons & rods balanced together to make sure they are spot on. I did the same set up as you are showing in the box. But I went with the stock comp 11:5:1 and they were off by what the engine builder told me that he wouldn't do these at what was the weight diffs. Robert

I have 16 Stingray with a built motor (10.5:1) on a Procharger P1-SC (3.55 upper/8.125 lower) at 12psi on the dyno (13 on the street) making 790rwhp. I'm on 93oct with meth if that gives you an idea.

I am thinking around 12-14 psi. No meth. 93 pump gas. My guess is 750rwhp on a safe tune. That's a beast you have. Enjoy her, keep nannies ON!!!!

Just watch your fueling. I'm at the limits of my fuel system (38% fuel lobe is my only fuel mod). At the top of 4th my low side fuel pressure is a little low. My AFRs are spot on and high side fuel is fine but low side not so much. It's fine for the HP I have but I can't go any higher without a low side system.

Decided on a V2 Ti Vortech. Upper will be 3.33 and lower is 8.25. 8 rib setup. How much psi boost do you think I will see? Thanks for all the well wishes.

I would also consider LT4 fueling components. Plus dsx low side. You won't need meth. Except for cooling purposes
