Something must be wrong with my chit. On my 122 blown 6.0L, I don't get much more than 8.5psi with a 2.8" pulley. I think I might have seen 9psi on a cool morning several weeks back. I only glanced at the guage because I was busy trying to keep it between the ditches. Could have been mistaken.

If you run a front inlet you can get more boost out of it. That's why he's getting that much boost. I would assume he's also over driving it in the rear drive or front.

I haven't been too impressed with Holty's change over to a 122. Impressed meaning a difference from the 112. Ofcourse I am only referencing the stock 6L LQ9. I was expecting alot more out of it. Also I know he hasn't be able to really throw it down the track alot of times with all the bugs not being worked out, but I was expecting alot more boost gain at least.

408 is too many CI for anything but the TVS in my opinion.

Either turbo or procharger.

Finally I will let you know this week. Due to a comedy of bad luck we haven't run the dyno tests. Engine is going on tomorrow, assuming nothing goes wrong we should have some numbers on Tuesday. Lets see if the TVS 1900 can really run the forged 408.

How much boost are you looking for? Looking at your set up, you might see 8 psi depending on your dampener diameter.

We have 2 pulleys, the 3.2 and 2.8. Hopefully we will get at least 8lbs with the 2.8. Engine is set up except for a few items. We need to extend our harness to get around the charger. Hopefully we will have time to tune and then run some pulls with both pulleys tomorrow.

Ran into a MAF issue, they sent us the standard truck MAF instead of one to fit the 90mm J tube. We will probably rig it just to get started. We should get some solid numbers tomorrow. Any one know where I can get a 90 or 92mm MAF to fit a LS harness? We could give everyone more info by testing both MAF's if I can get one this week.
