Boost upgrade questions What's up guys...
I'm currently runnin 9psi of boost on completely forged Eagle internals and 9.5:1 compression ratio. My system currently has no intercooler. Bore and stroke are LT1 stock.
My question is, do you think it's safe to jump right to a pulley upgrade? I'm really power-hungry right now... but I want the motor to last as long as possible. I definitely want to increase boost, how much do you guys think would be appropriate for some more power? 12psi? 15psi? Or should I just wait and do a boost upgrade after an intercooler?
Thanks for any and all responses.
