not a vette question, but perhaps you can help?

my son has a 2015 Silverado gen 5 lt1 5.3L 6 speed auto ( bone stock except for k&n filter)

2.9L whipple going on it soon

what is the max power that this combo can make before it runs out of fuel or blows the bottom end up?

thx

4.0 will probably do another 2-3psi... I would get the exhaust breathing and then see where your at...

good advice for sure...can't get it in if you can't get it out

any thoughts/recommendations on headers, etc for this ??

also, would you know the diameter of the crank pulley?

thx
