I have a 2-3/4" pulley making 7lbs right now. You would need a pulley about the size of a nickle to get 15lbs i think. Kenne bell has the 2.8L coming out soon i think.

Believe it or not, I actually got a hold of KB to ask them about the 2.8. They said 30 days and that was on 9/11 that I called. But we all know what there 30 days means. They said they are just working on the pulley and bracket set up for our Trucks

I think about 380 ci pushing the efficiency of the blower. 6.0l 364ci is not to large for a 2.3l compressor. 8.1l 496 ci is really pushing it, that might be why the IAC is so hot. There was an artical a few months ago in chp,or car craft with a blown 496 BBC with a 177ci s/c and 3lbs was all wanted to make. Spinning it faster just made it pump hot air. I think the whipple is alot better s/c but its only around 140ci.

Probably 80° at cruise, to over 100° at WOT. I was seeing over 170° cruising in 90° ambient. Now it stays about 10° over ambient cruising. The highest WOT temps that I've seen after the I/C on hot days were about 120°, which quickly drops back to 10° or so over ambient while I'm coasting down. Pre- I/C I saw 220° in the same situation, and it took forever to get back to 170° or so.
