Default Big Cubes + Procharger?

hey guys,

just curious how many of you guys out there are using a 408 or larger LSx motor with a procharger?

because of the bigger cubes, i would imagine you would need a larger head unit.

what kind of power are you guys putting down?

I think with the right compression, say 9.5 and higer 800 rwhp is a breeze with a D1SC. I'll have a 69 Camaro with a 408 AFR heads and D1SC together late this year and i'll post back results.

If you haven't purchased the kit yet, I would recommend going with the F1A head unit, which I have an option here for it. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=798
Besides not being maxed out like the D-1SC would be on the bigger cubed engine at 16 psi, the gear ratio of the F1A is different, and doesn't use as small of a blower pulley, meaning you will have better belt wrap. My F1A head option is only $500.00 more than the D-1SC.

8oo would certainly not be a problem, it might be a problem keeping it down to 800... Bob

Big cubes, good flowing heads, and an F1C will make more power than any street tire can possibly handle. I'm running a C5R 427, LS7 heads and an F1C. At only 8 pounds of boost, no meth, and a fat tune, it's making 788 RWHP.
