my Siemens 60s are 60# @ 3bar... meaning at the 58psi LS motors run, it's more like 72#. it made right at 650whp on the stock fuel pump + BAP by raising the duty cycle up a little on top... but that was getting sketchy, so I got a Walbro 450 & return conversion. now i don't worry about it - even with another power bump over that.
i'd still refer to the blower RPM or CFM to see how much fuel you need, rather than giving expected boost. case-in-point: my last setup was about 540whp @ 11psi. i swapped heads & cam, ported the blower, and pullied down... gaining 110whp @ 10psi (and slipping). then i added an OD crank and better belt to kill the slip & make 13psi. so it was a drastic airflow difference at about the same boost level.
and funny you call FL summer miserable after leaving TX
Very good info sir thank you! I have 3 different pulleys so I can run almost no boost, to what I'm at currently and then a party pulley for all the boost. I'm probably going to stick with the 60s until I see a reason to upgrade and then likely go to a set of IDs🤑.
I spoke with a well known machine shop in town today. I think I'm going to put the blower and everything on the 6.0 and take it to their engine dyno to break it in and make sure I didn't screw it up. Will be interesting to see power numbers on something of mine for once.
I personally didnt think Texas begins to compare to the "Real feel" of Florida heat. This morning at 0800 my thermometer said 72* however the news said the "Real feel" was 91* just because of humidity and lack of any airflow. It's been such a harsh summer I take cold showers and before I dry off I'm sweating again.

yep. there were two - both got killed... but that was years ago.
ended up there last summer for a week - place seemed like a ghost town compared to what it was back in the day.
