Mattman i'm running the 2.7 upper and 7" lower and that would do 9-10 lbs when my motor was stock now it does 7-8 with the new heads and cam

Yep Shane you need to get a set of heads and roller cam and i need more boost I think with the ole powerdyne i might get down to the 12.3 range but I'll need a new blower to do any better or i guess i could get some secret sauce like marcus

I think with heads and cam the truck would run high 11's easily, and probably if I went with a more radical cam and mass air it would benefit even further!!

Cool

hmmm, but will a head/cam swap really do that much more? from what others have experienced, you are about to hit a wall, where your engine is a much more efficient air pump than it was in stock form, and your boost numbers are gonna get lower and lower...

...its that whole exponential factor as you get quicker and quicker. that next tenth is harder and harder to get than the tenth you got way back in the day by simply bolting on a set of underdrive pullies to a stock motor.

...just a casual observation

if i stop runnin, the evil little clowns will get me...

Well i think if i had a vortech with the correct pulleys i could get in to the high 11's but thats just a guess

My best time before the head and cam swap was a 13.11 and after was 12.53 and i think with some more tuning i can get 12.4 or .3

Mudd that's what smaller pullies are for

It's not always about boost, you also need to look at CFM. When you exceed the blower's CFM you have to move to a bigger er uh unit........

Example and a reason to talk about my truck I'm worried about my S-trim (1,000 CFM) with a 2.5" pulley being able to keep up with my R heads and new cam. Luckily it won't be running mad RPM's so maybe it'll get the job done until the year 2049 when I can afford a T-trim (1,200 CFM)

Yikes I just noticed Vortech has a V-4 Z trim !!
