Should I stick with the 4” pulley or do I need to go with a 3.90 or 3.80?? Anyone run a similar set up or have a rough idea of what to expect?

You will need more injector if using E85.

correction: I’m running 91 pump gas with the dual nozzle water/meth kit

the injectors are from my previous setup with the D1SC was hoping I wouldn’t have to upgrade just yet I have NO IDEA why I didn’t order the ID1000. Dumb move on my part they cost the same as the 725’s

4L60e and worm clamps on the intercooler couplers?

Setting yourself up for a long road ahead.

Zip tie all vacuum lines, and T-bolt clamps on everything that will see boost. Procharger hopefully would know to only send worm gear stuff for the intake side of the charger.

Nothing wrong with good quality worm drive style clamps unless you're heading beyond 30psi

I should be within the 16-20psi range. Same thing Procharger said when I called them a while ago to double check/inquire about the clamps that came with the 4” front mount kit.

Not saying they won’t hold, but I have seen them let go and tear up a nice hood liner. Just spreading the word!

Might be hard on 91 through the auto. What’s the compression? I’d put the smallest pulley on it possible. Injectors are kinda iffy too.

Bad build and workmanship can apply to any clamps.

I've seen idiots squash stainless steel tubing from overtightening t-bolt clamps. You can just get idiots everywhere that can **** things up.

But for low boost stuff there is simply no need for t-bolt clamps. And some t-bolts are pure ***** to start with.

Once into larger diameter like the 4" a t-bolt can become more appropriate simply due to the forces involved but as long as pipe prep is good with a decent lip/bead, a good worm drive will still be fine ( I use Breeze constant torque clamps )

I had a worm clamp on my throttle body. When it blew off, it smashed into my radiator putting a big dent in it, and shoved my meth nozzle into the piping.

91 octane might be a stretch, also the 60E might not be happy. I favor T bolt clamps,
have had the worm style slip. Most important is a lip of some sort around each pipe
so it cant pull out. I wish my garage floor (or my kitchen, lol) was as clean as your garage.

And I've seen guys with t-bolt clamps blow their pipes off too.

Nice looking set up! Don’t worry about everyone’s opinions... if the 60 was built right it will live to anything you give it... the sonnax drum is the key to them living..

Nice shop and setup! Don’t see many 383 or procharger setups anymore. Everyone is moving towards turbos it seems. I’m looking forward to the results!

I would recommend at least the stage 25 100% billet 60e at that power level.

or a junkyard 80e with a shift kit

yessir very true, will see how it goes, turbo set-ups definitely cost effective but we threw some stuff together that was cost efficient for me and what was in hand as well. Should have dyno numbers middle of next week I’ll cross my fingers and post the graphs.

A lot of people still hate on the 4l60e but if it’s built right, kept cool it will definitely withstand. RPM has has gotten a few 4l60e into consistent high 8 low 9s. I’m not too worried about it. I’ve added a few precautions such as ATI Flexplate and larger tanny cooler with a deep aluminum pan & proper gauge set up to monitor heat it should do great with the upgraded 1: 2 gear ratios.

tranny is billet and hardened where it needs to be, it’s an RPM build...the junkyard 80e w/ shift kit is on standby but we should be ok haha. I’ll be on the lookout for that stage 25 though lol
