Turning it up this summer! so this past spring i finished my engine and turbo build on my 2000 ws6 learned how to tune it and had a good race season for what was left of it once the car was tuned in
im currently running a 5.3L iron block stock short block, epp blower cam and 243 heads with arp head studs and ls9 head gaskets, all this putting me around 9:1cr
running t76 front mount on 12psi with 93oct, seimens 60lbs and 340lph pump
what im thinkin of doimg is taking my 2bar sd set up and going 3 bar sd and turning up the boost to ether 16-18psi, ive heard of 100% stock ls1s running 16-17 on a safe good tune so im feeling that on a lower compression engine should be fairly safe yes?
would you all feel this is pushing this engine setup or no?
do you all feel this fuel system will keep uo or will i end up needing bigger injectors?
i plan on taking my car and dynoing it at 8psi to get a base line and go from there

Verdad Gallardo Yep, all on E85. I started out running stock lines, rails and a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. I upgraded to -8 feed, Holley rails, 127# injectors and using the stock feed as my return. I have two pumps, one is a 255 and the other is a Racetronix 340.
