Default Time for a larger blower

Well its been almost 3 years using the KB and many memoirs of fun rides. however now it is time for a larger blower. Perhaps upgrading to the 2.8L and intercooling would be nice. Doing some preliminary calculations a 2.8L spun to 18K should bring yield over 1000HP with lots of consideration for parasitic drag included in the equation. I would use the L92 heads, upgrade to the 60# and keep the stock bottoms until that setup blows. Any thoughts??

You will find the 60s wont go very far and the 6L wont like all the boost much Im going to push the 6L Im throwing in till it pops. Sounds like a fun ride for sure

Have you ever run your current setup at the track or had it straped to a dyno?

As soon as the KB 2.8 comes out that is what I am going to switch to. with a forged 418 low compression with a nitros/Meth plate between the SC and motor

The L92 heads should make it bleed a little more boost. What do you suggest for injectors 75's.

I think you'll need 96lb injectors, and a helmet!
