I know, but we are going to be running 3.85" with 7.25" crank. I already have the SDCE so Im going to use it.

So to summarize....
I'll use the 4.5 intercoolers for now. They are good for now with the stock bottom end and probably would be good up to the power level I may want in the future.
I'll use the stock inlet hat. I may get the EPP elbow for future use but if I go with a Fseries blower I'll can't use it unless I get a relocation setup as described.
Will running a F model blower on the shock bottom shorten it's life if setup correctly?

So now I am on the fence between an F1A and F1C.
Definately want to go above the F1 but faily confidant I don't need the F1R.
I see fro mthe chart that the F1C is bigger on the inlet and inducer. Does this affect the fitment with the supplied hat? Will I have an easier time fitting the -A rather than the -C?
Anything I am missing that will help me trade off between the two?

I just got set up with an f-1a, and it is quite impressive to look at.
It should be running shortly after christmas, and I will post up dyno numbers as soon as I am done with it.
I using an ls2 427 and the l92/l76 combo.
Good luck with your blower decision.

That's when the $ starts to add up, and you have to ask yourself if you will really be able to use that much power on the street. Now, with that being said, if there was already a proven F1C kit for our cars, I would have jumped on that in a second !!

What power is typically expected with running an F1A at 7-8#s?
I was looking at Bob's website and the car with the SLP 402 had the D1 pushig 13#s to make ~750. If the car had an F1, how many #s are required to make the same power?
