Just something to consider..

A LS6 cam would suit you better.

LS9 211/230 .558/.552 122.5
LS6 204/218 .551/.547 117
That makes sense since the LSA is so high.

I guess its a good I already have the LS6 cam.

If you had the turbo back in November did you put in on and use it? Or is the 1900 the first boost you've had on your truck? I just wanted to know because I'm trying to decide between a turbo or a blower/compressor. I was leaning towards the turbo. Your experience would help!
Nice build btw, thanks for sharing!

Oh, I also had a question about your 1900. If you're only at 7psi do you need the meth?
Was the dyno run done with the Meth?
I thought you could go a little over 8psi with the 1900 and still be boost only, maybe on 93 octane though.
Thanks again!

I never put the turbo on the truck, sorry I couldn't provide more input.

I did not need the meth with only 7 psi, however the meth injection allowed 3 degrees more timing and about 30 HP to wheels.

I have the meth injection triggered by a Hobbs switch set at 5 psi since there is ZERO boost lag.
