Yes I do plan on supercharging it, I’m just having a hard time deciding if it will be on the 5.3 block or if I will try to get a 6.0 or 6.2.. more I read more I think I should just stick with 5.3 engine.. if I go bigger it’s like a disease (that I know I have) that I’ll eventually want more and more

A positive displacement style, 2.3L twin screw whipple more than likely. I will probably run it at the 5psi mark.. I think that’s what they normally run at but then later once it gets tuned and what not I may look into some smaller pulleys and a 6-8 rib belt been reading a good amount of threads here. So much knowledge to take in at once. Only ever built a few cbr600f4i engines and a couple atv/utv engines

I would pin the crank when boost is added.

Yeah just about every thread i have read thus far recommends pinning the crank if i plan to do any more than "stock" pulley sizes, so that is something else to look into lol. i still have a ton to learn about boosted application but with everyone's help on here i should get there fairly quick, it also does not hurt my feelings if you tell me something i already know. Confirmation is good information!

Well carnage has taken place.. check this video out pay attention to the top center spider gear. Acting like it wants to rotate and wobble.. tried to tell it that its not earth.. anyway.
And here is a tooth from the pinion..
so on the way is an eaton truetrac and 4.56s. I had 3.42s then went to 4.11s because of the 33.8" tire. Been told not to fear the gear plus its not much more gear so it cant hurt. I thought about getting on here and posting to ask if that's too much gear when I do supercharge it in the future but realistically im looking at 2 years until the wife is done with graduate school.. so whatever ill change it again if I have too.
