800whp capable blower
 
Looking for the best blower to hit 800whp wanting to race have a forged 427 11:1 400cfm heads and a 18* big boost cam ported stock ls7 intake stock z06 exhaust catless (good cheap upgrade compared to ls2 manifolds) in my 07 z51 3lt can the 1500SL make it do I need a 2200hd? Or should I go with a v3 ti or v2 Andy says the v2 spins at 56k and can make more power.


I see people making 825 on rpm video with a 6 rib v3 TI

Unreal 06-07-2019 10:49 PM

1500SL is a Ti. Same exact wheel. It will do 800 with ease properly setup.

GX427 06-07-2019 10:52 PM

Will it peak early like 6k rpms was hoping to have a good power band for racing 1/4 and roll racing closed highway stuff so you think 1500 would do it best setup with what I got to beat these demons and gt500s etc


i would like to try to avoid a 8 rib system since they’re not needed if the guy on the rpm video got his 6 rib to not slip v3TI


anyone know of any vendors who sell it cheaper than ecs or a and a so?

I’m making 874whp/795rwtq on my forged LS7 with a Ti trim. 8 rib and/or secondary drive will be more efficient and reliable, if you plan to max out a Ti/1500.

GX427 06-08-2019 09:20 AM

Which 8 rib don’t i need a special overdrive I heard my IW 10% over won’t work

Unreal 06-08-2019 09:55 AM

Won't peak early because of blower. Maybe because of your cam or setup, but blower can pull to 7k+ no issues making 800+.

The only setup that needs a special overdrive pulley is the A&A direct drives as it is modified to work with their DD and you have to run theirs. If you just want a basic 8 rib then get an 8 rib damper and 8 rib kit to match the kit you have. ECS kit comes with 8 rib stuff already, just need to add a few little things like alternator/PS pump pullies. A&A would have an 8 rib upgrade kit with different spaces/pullies/etc.

Tuner kit for the 2200HD is 5399 should I go for the HD not a SL or the 1500SL for my power goals I’m assuming the 1500 will
hit harder

Unreal 06-08-2019 05:33 PM

If all you want is 800 put the money towards meth, headers, cam, tires, etc. No reason to go bigger blower IMO unless you want more later.

GX427 06-08-2019 06:46 PM

Do have tires meth and a cam stock z exhaust gutted to hopefully loose some restriction

lt1z 06-10-2019 10:58 AM

Ti trim or D1

Stock sleeves?

Patriot Six 06-10-2019 01:12 PM

Yes, stock sleeves.

GX427 06-11-2019 11:14 AM

When is it needed to go to a 8 rib? What’s the smallest pulley people run with a 10% lower? Trying max out the six rib then down the road sell the bracket and 1500 and grab me a 10 rib DD with a 2200R

GX427 06-11-2019 11:16 AM

Do you prefer meth or e85? I’m not worried about availability just more reliability what would be better/less of a headache meth or e85 minus getting the e85 part not worried about that.

Patriot Six 06-11-2019 11:53 AM

I started getting slip with a stock size LS7 balancer and 3.4 blower pulley with the six rib. I could probably have tried to adjust the tension regularly, but instead moved to the secondary drive and picked up boost and never have to adjust the belt tension.

Meth will be a must for your power goals and e85 would be a nice to have. Meth requires changing out the pump every 1-2 years, which isn't hard. e85 requires an upgraded fuel system, but no maintenance. I run both.

GX427 06-11-2019 02:02 PM

Would a external pump work fine with the z06 internal for 700-800whp on e? I heard of stock pumps failing so I’m going for 1500 ecs 6 rib with a 3.5-4 inch upp 10% lower

Patriot Six 06-11-2019 02:10 PM

I’m running an external with stock Z06 pump on e85.

GX427 06-13-2019 10:01 AM

After reading a thread on where would you stop I decided on 700whp for now until I grab a zr1 drivetrain down the road and then bump it to 800-900whp so as in the best blower to hit the hardest would be a 1500 I assume correct? I want a good power band should I leave restrictor on and just pulley it?

Patriot Six 06-13-2019 11:24 AM

A 1500/Ti/D1SC will all be good for about 800-850whp. If you're looking for more than that, I would look at the D1X or the YSI/2200R. I would not use the restrictor and just pulley it for your power goals. Traction will be an issue either way.

GX427 06-14-2019 11:28 AM

Was looking at their straight cut gears what do you guys think only thing is it’s 250$ to make it louder. Also anyone know what pulley combo I’m needing to hit the 725whp area with a engine that puts 530whp already 427 11:1
