I have:
T400 with 4500 yank,
3.50 gear,
348ci 8:1 engine,
6.0 heads,
Kooks headers,
X pipe with Magnaflows dumped,
83 lb siemens injectors,
2 bosch 420L pumps
-----------------------------
I made 17psi with the YS, have since stepped up cam and to YSi... dropped compression, and am seeing 19-21 psi with 8.00 base kit crank + 2.85 blower. The 2.95 is one step bigger than mine, I think you will hit 16-18psi assuming no issues.

WS6 would probably give you some room, or just notch that factory hood.

I have an RMCR T-trim kit. My 98 Formula has a Suncoast Creations ramair hood which is a little higher than a stock WS6 hood. The head unit and maf sit just a bit to the outside of the driverside hood scoop, we had to cut about a 6" hole in the inner part of the hood . Oh well you cant see it when the hood is closed. You`ll probably max out those 50lb injectors with that much boost, you might even need bigger than Motron 60s. Good luck with your car.

RMCR is going to make the aftercooler.

Thanks for the info guys. Im going to cut the stock hood and see if it helps, if not ill buy one of those bad *** VFN hoods. As for the injectors, im expecting to only see about 16-18lbs of boost. When I bring it to get tuned Ill see what happens. Who sells the motron 60lbers?

I'd control it threw a BSIII like PSJ did Mike...but then again alot of guys are making serious power on stock electronics so I guess 650RW shouldnt be a problem.I'd love to have gone boost type setup but I'm on a budget.Still 10.80's on motor isnt too bad,I could always spray myself into the 9;s...

I ordered the impadence convertor from spped inc. Im going to buy the 83lb injectors. My tuner uses this combo on a alot of F1 procharged corvettes and is able to use the stock pcm everytime. But all cars are different im hoping it works out.

83 lb injectors are very strategic if you can get the impedance converter setup to work nice.

FJO and Acceleronics make convertors. I think the FJO is directed towards 4 cyl cars though, whereas the acceleronics has 8 channels
