Default Any 5.3 F1 pro charged combos out there?

I've been thinking about a f1 5.3 combo, but I can't find any results from current combos. Anybody have a setup like this running?

not to my knowledge. maybe a few d1 setups. 99% of the 5.3 builds are turbo.

Just go turbo, but I do know a guy that was running his bonestock 4.8 with a F1 procharger, he got over 450+RWHP, but now he is going turbo on a 5.3.

10psi at 650/564 isn't bad at all. Does the power come on strong down low in the rpm band?

auto or manual?

Too many people get pressured into buying big cubic inch engines. Sometimes it just isn't necessary. If people didn't think out of the box every ls1 would still be running ported 853/241's with a MTI letter cam, or a TR224 cam.

I'm going to be doing a F1X on my 410 AES motor. Just as soon as I can recoup some money after what Josh@KY-Turbo done to me.

How much timing did you have in the blower setup on pump gas and turbo when they went 150? ANd what compression were they? Blower setup hurt itself eventually Im guessing?

Im surprised the turbo on the same boost didnt pick up substantial mph, unless you were much more conservative tuning it this time around

Bone stock 99 5.3 with 150k on it and swapped in new LS6 springs. 72lb injectors. Torqstorm supercharger pushing 9psi thus far at 4500rpms. Should make 11-12psi. According to the datalogs and fuel consumption I'm in the 500hp range at only 9psi. and it should make 2psi more in anothe 1k rpms.

The torqstorm is a smaller blower but makes boost very low like 1700rpms. The F1A should make more boost and more power up high.

I'm running 17-18* timing but have a speed daddy FMIC and meth injection pre SC and after intercooler shooting wiper fluid.

I'd love to try F series. Maybe this winter when a buddy goes from F1a-94 to twin turbos.
5.3, 317's, tick blower cam, D1sc 7.25"/3" pullies I was making 12psi at about 4000rpm but was getting belt slip after that making 500hp at 4k and only managed 530whp up top with the slip. Pulley changes and I'll be over 600whp
