1. The cam isn't THAT big for a 6.0 and the eaton chargers build boost really fast.
2. It's a dyno simulator computer program, not real world per say. Although the #'s are impressive, it isn't something worth analyzing or speculating over...until after he has it dyno'd then it would be nice to see the two maps on top of each other.

Grippy, did you enter your old set-up as dyno'd into your sim software? If it predicted what you put down at the wheels + 25% loss then it is probably pretty accurate. Either way, your new blower/heads/cam is going to be mean! Awesome thread, I am sure you are almost as excited as we are

Sweet. Looks like you should shift at 8000rpm.

Ed referred to this as a high torque blower cam with good idle vacuum

I have the forward half fuel setup figured out (balance tube, mechanical direct mount fuel pressure gauge, remote mount fuel pressure pressure fitting), working on rear inlet today

I believe 25% is pretty accurate. I've built so many engines on that Dyno Sim software it's hard to remember. I think when I built my 6L engine in the program I didn't have dyno runs to compare too. And after the dyno pulls pre 122 I had since changed that build out. However, I did build BlownChevy's setup, back in the day, in the DynoSim software and if I remember right it was right inline with what he pulled on his dyno runs.

Trouble is, I don't know what to figure for REAL driveline loss so it's tough to nail it down as to how accurate the program is. I would say that the above dyno graph is an indication of how the curves might look.

What will be cool is to compare them after the real runs are completed
