i have the 6.0 with heads/cam supercharger @ 8 psi but the bottom end is all stock and i got used to it, I feel like i need more power.
i was talking with Allen and he is gonna make me a 408 forged bottom end and swap out the heads and stuff i have now onto it. i have a 3.25" pulley which should get me around 12 to 15 psi at least. will it be a very noticeable gain in power?
Will you still be able to get 12-15 psi with the 408? The need for more power is never ending...

yeah with that size pulley i think thats what one guy was getting on pt.net same setup. he also ran a 3" pulley and was hitting 18 i believe, not sure exactly but it was definately up there.
youll notice the difference.put that pulley on.

Yes--pulley down. Easiest way to make more power with an S/C and your supporting mods...

so how much psi can a forged set up handle?
Depends on how it is built. I would say upwards of 20+ psi...

wow i dont even know if the SC could run that small of a pulley.Originally Posted by txarkitekt
if i can get to 18 max that should be more than enough, but i would be happy with 15.
Yeah....
15 psi will make you smile a little more.
