Is 6200-6400 asking to much of stock valvetrain

I would be worried about valve float with stock springs and boost at that RPM. Springs would be cheap insurance. I have seen many people expirence valve float at lower RPM's then that with boost on stock springs.

Good call, I was more or less just trying to link him to Racetronix... didn't want to post a non vendor site (if they're not a vendor)

Double the power on 10lbs. I thought it took 14.7lbs to double the power on a 100% effecient system? I have a D1SC Procharger on an built Ls6 with cam and heads, and didn't get anywhere near that effeciency. I made over 740 to the tire, but still didnt double N/A power. In any case congratulations on sick blower power.

I have always seen this to be the case also. IDK.

I totally agree, but remember I did add the blower, long tube headers and off road y pipe all at once and it is making 10psi at 5700 where we let off. Truck made 225whp uncorrected and now is 440whp uncorrected. So not quiet double and it wasnt just the blower. The blower probably added 185whp with 10psi. So yes good gains.

He's probably more near 12lbs through stock manifolds/cats.

Iirc BlownChevy was up around 150hp gain with about 10lbs through stock exhaust on his red rcsb.
