My Magna Charger on the '69 isn't in boost during daily driving. It has a bypass valve that routes the intake past the rotors when not at WOT. So, its just as drivable as a stock engine until I floor it.
The QM/P setup is simple and effective. We've never had any issues with Rob's parts or designs, it was the other drama that was the problem.
Still shopping around, no big hurry. I still have to build the blue racecar first.

Ok Tony..... jump on the PTK kit........ it would be awsome.... and keep the A/C.... go with the T-76GTS and just set the waste gate at 7-8 psi and down the road up the boost if you decide to go forged and have some fun.

That's a 281 CID 4-Valve Mod-Motor on pump-gas! There is about 150 more RWHP left in the car once the fuel system gets upgraded. The injectors were at 100% duty-cycle at 5,600 RPM, and the fuel pump is maxed out. Once those get upgraded we're going to 950 RWHP on 93 Octane!
And just look at that torque! 787 FT. LBS from 281 CID on pump gas!
EDIT: That's an over-the-phone tune as well. Imagine what a good tuner could do in person!

dont buy a sw kit. sure it could do 500rw with a great tune....but the design sucks, always has, period. back when it was the ttech kit (basically) it was inefficient....rob didnt change that. i guess w/ enough little mods and tweaks its ok.
the ptk kit is probably the best kit. unfortunately, you need to sell an organ to buy one (arnt they $7-8000? ouch).
i say buy a phamspeed or listen to kp.

True. The number I had in my head must have been with an A/A (or maybe A/W) w/ a nice 76GTS or something...who knows. Still...you can't complain too much, I did say that your kit is the best out there.
Well it sounds like you are kinda set on a turbo but you could always get that "wet dream" of a roots style blower for the f-body. You could be the one to actually get it into production.
