Default Which is better for my 355, D1SC OR F1A

My blower exploded recently and I'm looking into getting an f1a. Its important to note my elevation, as I am sitting at 6000 ft. I had the d1sc and it was an OK blower, but with the 3.4/7.65 pulley combo I net 11 psi. I guess my heads/ cam combo flows well, because I was surprised at only making 11 lbs. On to my more technical questions. I have SRP forged pistons, Eagle H Beam forgings, STOCK crank and ARP head and main bolt studs...How much RWHP can this motor handle? Im putting down 450 rwhp at 6000 feet..close to 600 at sea level. I want to put out around 15 psi on the twin highflows.. I will eventually add meth injection or FMIC..Which is the blower that will be the best overall choice?

If I made 596 rwhp on this LT1 with 11 psi and twin highflows, what RWHP should I expect on say 15 psi? Will my bottom end hold up?

Seeing your other thread and the deal the guy was going to give you on the F1A I would get that. It would suck to want to upgrade things later on and then run out of blower. I'd go with the F1A and run a FMIC kit from ebay or EPP.

I agree with the post above, I wouldn't run anymore boost than what you currently have with the stock LT1 twin intercoolers. The LT1 twin intercoolers are the smaller 3.5" thick ones, and your inlet air temps have to be really high. I'd either go with a front mount intercooler or add a methanol injection kit to it. Bob
