427ci
10.25CR
224/224 cam
And all the Rest.

Chris I'm sure you checked it but did you guys remove some of the table values in the IAT vs MAP ? If you dumped a bunch of timing there it would feel like you started coasting...

So what happened to the 427? You put in a 408 now? Whipple? Details!

No that was the old setup.. The Radix #'s are from the new setup a 408. The radix added about 110hp and 125ftlbs of TQ to the 408. The 427 never saw the engine dyno with the Radix.

Sorry for the confusion

As of Saturday the exhaust side of the turbo was done. So Tuesday it will be off to get coated.

Still have the intercooler, compressor side piping, oiling and new injectors to do. I'm thinking about going to a different intake setup as well. Might have it running by the end of the week, or the next week...or

408ci
9:1 CR
GT42 Turbo with 102mm wheel on the compressor & 82mm wheel on the Turbine

It's going to be a Rear Turbo type deal. Hopefully it will work...lol Didn't start out that way but putting it in the engine compartment was going to chop things up to much for me, as I'm not sure how much longer I will be keeping the truck. I'll post some pictures later Monday

Still have a Whipple, might still go that way but with another vehicle

Update.......well it looks like our problem might be that the blower has some internal issues. We are going to send it back to Magnacharger and have them look at it. I will keep you guy's updated.

Thanks

Yes, here is the word......The blower is coming off the truck.........and heading back to Magnacharger for some inspection. When we get it back I am sure it will be running in tip top shape. I will keep you guy's posted!

Thanks,
