Lbs of boost with stock Roush pulley on 5.3?
I have read tons of threads and still can't tell what to expect from the stock pulley on the roush tvs on a bone stock 5.3. I have seen posts anywhere from 6lbs to 11lbs. I am installing one on my 12 Avalanche and was thinking about putting a 10% overdrive pulley on during the initial install so I can get it tuned once and be done with it. Which brings up the second question from what I have read the 10% overdrive will add 2 to 3lbs?
My educated guess is a Roush with a 6.0 would be 5 to 6lbs. A 5.3 somewhere near 7 to 8lbs and a 4.8 in the 9 to 10lb range. I guess this is why they had one pulley for all three setups. What have you guys experienced? |
My roush 1900 with the stock pulley made 6psi on a 5.3.

My bone stock 5.3 with the 1900 made 9.5 psi 407rwhp/425rwtq mustang dyno. I now have cal speed LTs and y-pipe, no cats and make 8psi.

Did you have a cam or headers on your 5.3 at 6lbs?
Just cat-back exhaust, LS9 cam. |

Just depends on what mods are done to the engine and how well it breathes.
I would put the OD balancer on and get it tuned all at once , but you might run into valve float with stock valve springs . |
completely stock mine makes 8#'s

9lbs is my target. Its crazy yours made 9.5 and smoke made 6lbs this is why I started the thread because I have seen so many different results. I would not have thought a ls9 cam would have made a 3lb+ difference.

You need to remember, that boost PSI is a measurement of restriction, not a measurement of power.
This is my third supercharged LS vehicle so I have a little experience with mods and the effect of mods on a supercharged vehicle. I am trying to predict a base line of what to expect. If I put the tvs on and end up with 6lbs I probably wont be happy but on the flip side if I throw a 10% od balancer on and am at 12lbs or more I have probably pushed the envelope too far. Thanks for all that have given your results and input. |
