Thanks for the replies guys... Another question? what tranny would be best for this set up... I might get a 6.0 also... just gotta save up some money.... Ive heard that the 4l80e is the best way to go, is that true? And is it possible to put a six speed automatic?

Around 10lbs here non-intercooled 91 pump gas no meth 432rwhp 422rwtq 17deg timing.No problems jus got used to it.Threw the intercooler on and all hell broke loose (in a good way far as power was concearned).
So far I have modified every thing on the kit since no #s yet but figure 15-16lbs when it comes out again.Should be interesting since I am doin a few things that haven't been done far as I know.

^^Is that on a stock bottom 4.8? If you dont mind me asking, how big is the intercooler, any pics? What size injectors, what tranny are u using? What are your mods?

SORRY for so many questions guys i really appreciate it... See i have a srt-4 stock intercooler, will that work? I need injectors and a tranny and have been debating for a while.... once again thanks everyone

Yeah I ran my stock 4.8 to 12 lbs of boost with the non intercooled whipple. I had shorty headers a 220/220dur 558/558lift 114lsa cam and of course exhaust. The truck ran 13.4@102. That was with the stock stall converter. A piston ended p poping after about 6 months but I was using the stock fuel pump and a mail order tune. Im thinking it was going way lean up top! Good luck and have fun....

Lol thanks, do you happen to know the hp on that setup? Oh and what size was the piping on the exhaust? Also what stall do you recommend? Oh and of course what size injectors

Thanks

It was probley making around 375rwhp. I was just running dual 2.5" flows with shorty headers. I would recommend around 2800 to 3200 stall. I was running that with a stock stall. I would get atleast 42lb injectors and a walbro 255 intake pump.
