That blower is capable of supporting 700+ RWHP but from here on up the HP doesn't come cheap. You have options though, some more expensive than others. You can stay on 93, pulley swap to 13 psi and add meth for detonation protection. The extra 3 psi and meth tuned properly should get you about 100 HP and honestly that would come fairly cheap compared to other options.

You could also go with E85 but that is not such a cheap conversion because you will need a lot of fuel system changes to support it, but that also will get you about 90 HP.

You can keep what you have for a while and make some tweaks, possibly port the blower outlet, etc. The whole "ping" thing you were describing during the dyno sort of bothers me. Another good case for the meth injection because I had the same issue and the meth totally stopped that!

Good luck, and keep us posted with your progress!

I am running triple HXs in parallel and dual Varimax pumps, which help with the heat soak. Brett recommended going that route. I did add Mylar on the valley cover to reduce rotor pack heat transfer.

Ok. He recommended stage 3 for me. So I'm going that route.

Sorry Mark for the (Mike) typing ;o). I'm old and get mixed up sometimes ;o)

We talked about doing the runners, but he felt it was overkill. Just the rotor pack area and snout to 90MM and max effort port. He said I wouldn't see any gains if I ported the runners (which I believe is his stage 4 port). I believe what he did for me is considered a 'stage 3' when you port the snout (max effort), do a '90mm', and port the blower pack area -- I'd have to check if that is still his stage 3 port. He changed his porting stages after we talked, so I'm guessing its now the stage 3 port. The blower breaths VERY well, and I can't get over the HUGE increase in RWTQ. Can't speak any higher with his porting skills...

Sorry Jack -- for the high-jacking of your thread ;o)

Just now saw this. You ran 10.10 with 633 RWHP on DOT street tires or slicks? Just so you know, the numbers I was quoting was run what you brung (street registered) numbers, but the mid 11's was just an opinion based off of my previous experience.

Quick, it is my wish that you run 10's all day my friend!!

I just havent had time to process.... tuner and I both expected more like 610.... maybe its my 2.5 pipes right off the headers.... maybe the stepped headers arent as good in FI.....tuner said nothing seemed like it wasnt working...nothing looked wrong other than low numbers.

Everything I ever have is lower than expected.... i don't seem to ever be pleasantly surprised. Oh well.

We will see if I can get her to hook.
I'm sorry to hear you're down like you are. If you are up for a road trip, Jeremy Formato of Fasterproms comes up to Gettysburg regularly and is very familiar with the setup you have and where others don't gain power he does. If your interested I can PM you his number.

OP put on a good set of DR and go run some 10s
