MAGNUM POWERS!

With 50# injectors and a SCT Maf

Also when you say exhaust do you mean headers,etc....
I would do a electric fan, maybe a C&L plenum, phenolic spacer, NGK TR6 plugs gapped around .032"-.034" along with.

I would highly recommend a Dyno tune afterwards.

We run the truck to about 465 -470 on a street tune and 490-500 is well in range with race fuel.

Remember at this point you are reaching or at the limits of your stock internals (rods,pistons,etc...)

Hope this helps

If you have a full exhaust(headers) get yourself a KB; run about 16~17#'s of boost, 60#'s injectors and a SCT maf and a dyno tune. The tune can be setup rich and safe(lower timing), and can be run on pump gas everyday.

Just my opinion, but since I have ran every form of blower on my truck I think I have a good idea......

Should get you to mid to high 11's. 10's require a built motor.I would go with 60# injectors we have them here for $465. Also a SCT maf would be suggested and tune. Dont run more than 17 psi or your asking for trouble with the KB. I wouldnt run more than 15 psi. Also get it on a dyno and have it tuned.

Make 476 /537 with 14# out of the KB. I run low 12's with slicks I could run 11's and with a better belt I could run mid 11's

Jim when I called I was quoted $595, any reason for the confussion... I also was quoted differently on a short block installed with heads and cams work on the two times I called and I mean like $1000 different...

I was already to build with you and then I couldn't get a straight answer on total costs and I couldn't risk agreeing on one number and then having to come up with more when it's done... I was already to ship my truck.

Im sorry for the confusion with your quote on the motor. Motor jobs are pretty indepth so sometimes the quote is off a little. Next time just ask for me or Anthony we deal with these jobs everyday and can get pretty accurate for you.

The injectors we just recently were able to drop the price. They were $570 now they are $465. Also the SCT Maf we dropped from $325 to $275.

We don't have any 1/4 mile tracks in this area

My 1/8ths have been in the 7.3 range; still havn't got any really good passes. The truck has an honest 7.2 in it; maybe a 7.1 when I step it up a little. That should make for some mid to low 11's

My trips at the track have actually been on a 8.5" 3" combo. On the dyno I put a 9" 3" combo, and have been driving that setup on the street.

The truck has a lot of street racing miles on it too
