Like so many others, the first thing that you will hear is the rods clattering out the fresh hole in the block.
mafia?
What's the skinny on the mafia.
I bought an SCT2400 maf, and it was a fiasco to get a tune for it with stock injectors. I finally sold it and got completely discouraged because with stock block, stock heads, ported blower, and 6lb lower, my a/f is up around 13.0 at WOT. I do have upgraded pumps. This happend in the fall in cooler temps, and a couple weeks about when it was 90 out.
A couple guys told me just slap one of those mafia's on there and i'd be fine. Do you need a re tune with the mafia?
I think running an 8lb lower is doable on a stock block as long as you have the maf and fuel tuned in. How long it was last......no guarantees.
For some reason, my a/f tapped out at about 15-16lbs of boost. Even with upgraded pumps. This was only at about 450 rwhp.

Ive been running the 8# for a couple weeks now and have hammered it several times with no ill effects YET! Im gonna take it to the dyno this weekend to check a/f ratio's. Im still a little leary of it and the power increase
really isnt that much more than the 4-2 combo. Well see.........
FULLBOOGIE-I am not useing any of those yet,but need to! Not hearing any detonation. I keep toluene in the tank mixed 3:1.
