Your pretty much on the edge of blowing your engine. If you want the engine to last, rebuild the block then strap on either a whipple or KB.

Ive seen way too many people nade thier engine because of too much boost on a stock block.

Ive never really been a fan of spraying either wet or dry.

I would rebuild the block (Rods, Rings, Valves, Springs etc)

Strap on either a Whipple or KB

just my 2 cents.

from everything i have read, our blocks can only hold around 500 rwhp with a blower and around 600 with the right turbo set up.

Id agree with the above post, rebuild your motor if you want to add that much power, and I would def go with a blower over N2O any day.

You can find a used KB for around $2000 just look around.

good luck

build the block and just put a bigger pulley and that will get you the HP.

Your already pushing it (as said).


If you build it, the power will come.
