Time for a new radiator. Currently making a new intake, procharger intake is to restrictive, we are only getting 13.5 psi of boost, hoping to get more with new intake.
















I need more boost!!! Pulled motor to install forged pistons, connecting rods and stroker crank, motor will be bored to 408 C.I.D. We will be installing a procharger F1-A with pulley size set for about 14 PSI of boost. A FAST intake, ATI 8 rib balancer and procharger 8 rib accessory conversion have been installed. Just about finished up, currently dyno is at 707 rwhp, 695 rwtq at 13.5 psi of boost. Installed intercooler chiller kit with CO2, we lost horsepower due to the location of the air filter, going to switch to NOS and see what we get.
