Default Procharger guys, MAF lb/min?

Just curious, whats your max MAF reading? Mine's 406 lb/min at 5800 rpm and 8psi. I know this seems low, but I am at 5000 ft elevation, and we have about 20% less air up here. Any guesses what 3 more psi will take it to? Got the Reichard Racing 3.6 pulley coming in the mail,hope it doesn't slip!

Yikes....I hope you mean 40.6 lb/min or you'd be giving top fuelers a run for there money.

I would say you'll see around 44 lb/min if you up the boost 3 more psi.

My max maf reading is 32 lb/min...Oh wait, I don't have a procharger on the truck.

My Radix kit would pull a MAX of about 8.5 psi and the MAF was showing a max of just over 57 lbs/min.

57 lbs ..They say on a F/I motor,Each pound of air flow through the MAF is approx 10 hp.

that mayhave something to do with over a 5000ft diference in elevation between the 2 of you. the max i saw with the whipple was 56lb/min at 8psi(on a 6.0)

that pully should do you good

My MAF maxs out around 5,400 or 5,700, it depends on my belt. As soon as I figure out my new intercooler and pulley problems I will post again. That is if I get it fixed, it has been about 3 weeks, 3 pulleys, and 5 belts.
Procharger says to go back to the 4.5in 8lb. pulley and I should see 2-4lb of boost gain and no more belt problems. I just learned this Friday. I will see how it goes.
