Default S/C a 5.3HO?

I understand that the L33 is a 9.9:1 compression ratio. Is this too much to S/C on California gas??

I think that would be fine, as long as you dont go crazy with the boost. Intercooled would help. Probably wont be able to run that much timing.

I know Magnacharger has there kit for the Escalade HO 6.0 which has comparable compression.

What SC were you thinking?

I dont know too much about them to decide which one yet. I will have a chunk of $$ in april/may so i have time to figure it out.
Any suggestions? Dont want to lose drivability, just want real good low end performance!

I have a radix and love it. I will give you a ride in my truck and you can see what you like/dislike about it.

What type of power results are you looking for?

Ok but you wear the blonde wig this time LOL

Not sure of the numbers, 400+ maybe? Making 300+ now so that should be doable. Really want to feel an increase in low end torque.

This is from a 5,3 l33 with a Radix, The superchips and airraid cai he went from 267hp to 358-366hp



Site
My guess is that if you have it tuned right and the power your making i would probably guess at 450rwhp from your truck.
