Why S475? Why not S480? Just asking. Should make a 1000 easily IMO at those boost levels. Do yourself a favor and make the next big purchase the shocks. Good luck.

Doubles? If so...cool. Looks like it’ll be well sorted out and you know what’s up. See it way too many times that guys make a lot of power (because it’s easy with these setups) and stick it in a **** chassis then bitch that it won’t hook. It’s dangerous too! At 3000 lbs it’s gonna boogie. At 20 psi I’d say low 8s for sure.

Sounds like a cool build. Why the low compression with using good fuel?
