Talking Thanks to Bob and the EPP Crew!!

I just dynoed my WS6 today. Only 4 main ingredients (stock bottom end), Procharger D1, Patrick G custom Camshaft (with patriot springs and retainers), Hooker Stainless Headers, and Bassani Tru-dual exhaust. Unfortunately I am a little over 5000 ft in elevation and boost was only at 6lbs ( i was wanting 8 ), but i think the #'s still rock! 504 RWHP and 475 Ft lbs Torque. I still have great (like stock ) driveability until you put the pedal down!!

220/228 .564/.571” 115LSA +2 --I actually think the cam is small compared to alot of guys on here. the pulley size is 4.25. I am still amazed at the drivability with those #'s

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I thought that 4.25 pulley that was spec'd out for you was going to be a little too big. Bob

Should i pursue getting a smaller pulley to hit my 8 lbs of boost?? Or should I try to save the stock bottom end (for a while LOL!)??

I would, besides making more power you will also notice the boost coming in sooner. Bob
