I am not 100% sure, but, I know we are doing a fuel system. I am going to convert to 8 rib, and use an Innovators West 10% overdrive crank pulley, and Whipple 3.0 supercharger pulley, which will put this combination at maximum efficiency blower speed at 6500 rpms (blower speed at 18000 rpms). I am also possibly going to do a cam and a converter, not sure yet.

I don't know how much the lower end will handle, but I will find out...

im sure when the snow melts and it warms up this truck will be getting a lot of attention. the rochester area has a couple trucks that will be posting up stuff this year and im sure new era performance will have a ton of ls power to show off at the track.

We are in the middle of designing a fuel system, have the 8 rib pulley set up which will end up achieving maximum blower efficiency speed, also have a custom cam showing up tomorrow, and we might do a torque converter too. Updates are right around the corner...

We did try to come up with something retaining the fpcm, and because it is too unstable and we can not control it, we are going to disable it. We want something that will increase fuel pressure with boost and the fpcm is not capable of doing this.
