lol.
Owned a stock trans for years up until recently making close power....shifted much quicker. I have two smaller twins...so my spool is way different..and way quicker(different strokes...)
From what I saw in the video, the shifts where lazy, and the thing lags as a result of that. It is what is is...regardless of how well it did, or didn't do.
Not knocking your buddy....just using my ears.
Also,...I would love to see what "instant boost" looks like on a centrifugal. Any centrifugal. I don't mean instant 7lbs either. NOT saying it doesn't..I would just like to see that. Why? Not to be my normal dickish self..or well kinda but...mostly cause I am building a C6 with the same blower and gearset.

I've never seen any of your cars or builds so...I don't know anything about your experience...
So what you're telling me is......you're a douchbag. When you build/drive something that is even remotely in the same zipcode as the turbo C5Z in the pic, then you can talk out your *** some more.

Yes, with a properly pullied blower and correct trans/rear diff gearing, you can get near instant boost.... F1R makes a MINIMUM of 15 psi instantly, any time that gas pedal hits the floor, the blower jumps to 15 psi and climbs from there.... Ofcourse having a stall converter helps this but it was the same with the stick trans, wot at 4k was an instant 12 psi and climbed from there with the stick tranny in 4th.... 3rd always spun, which meant more rpms = more boost.... But I digress....

4"/8" should get you 23-25 psi with a F1X on a 427 engine. It won't come in as hard as an F1R or C because the volute is so much bigger and 4" piping.. But it will still hit good and have way more top end power and longer power band.
I'll be trying an X in the future.

Try a 4.00" crank pulley and an 8" balancer. 10 rib Ofcourse.. If you go with a cog setup, you may not be able to pulley it down enough, especially with the sprag style blower pulley.
4"/8" should get you 23-25 psi with a F1X on a 427 engine. It won't come in as hard as an F1R or C because the volute is so much bigger and 4" piping.. But it will still hit good and have way more top end power and longer power band.

I have changed this dudes(good friend) setup now so many times,..starting to forget what I have on it. It's a 10 rib innovators overdrive pulley(i think)...ecs bracket...dp flip drive...I think we just had a custom 4" pulley made...25ish psi sounds about right so I think you're correct on your recommendation. We did mod the blower for 3" piping...so velocity should be up there. Larger "1500hp" intercooler from treadstone.
Actually going up tonight to the car so I can work on it tomorrow...mount the blower,..and finish everything up.
Lot so of BS in the thread amongst friends but, here's the build thread.

Thanks for your input/knowledge.
