Default New to the forced induction world, happy to be here

Sooo... I finally took the leap into the world of forced induction. There's a guy, local here in Richmond who was selling a custom F1-c procharger kit. Comes w/ just about everything I need minus dampener, belt, bigger pulley (comes with pullies for high boost, but the blower is going on my stock bottom end for right now) and just some minor things I need to pick up... I'm pretty excited about it, I know the kit made 800+ whp on his car.

My current setup in a pair of AFR 205's, G5X3 114 LSA, FAST 90 Intake/TB, along with a couple fuel upgrades... So I'm being told I have the potential for some serious numbers once I get the new block w/ the built bottom end.

Hell of a setup you've got there, good luck keeping it together though. 62 cc heads and a F1C is going to be hell on a stock bottom end. Maybe sell the heads, and get some stock 317's.
I've never tried it myself, but I've heard it can be kind of tough to keep the boost levels low on the F1 blowers. I'd recommend meth as well if you can't (or don't want to) keep it below 10 psi. This is definitely something you can grow into though.

I plan on keeping the HP somewhere around 550-575, and at about 6-7 psi w/ a meth. kit. Frost, is local to here and is being kind enough to assist me w/ the build, hell he's the one who told me about the kit.

Should be ok with 6-7 psi if you can keep the boost that low.

Yeah we have to get with Bob from EPP for the damper and to figure out how on earth to pulley this thing to keep it to 5-6psi... The blower pulley will be the diameter of a basketball
