JL:
On a truck with ported heads,ported intakes, cams and KB....What kind of gains are you getting by just adding the new intake??

 

hmmmmmmmmmm??????????

that comes to about a 75hr work week

 

Where is the burst plate on the plenum?

 

Yeah I got my Eaton, but everything is still stock. I think that would be funny (yet a bad idea) to have the kb be my only mod to the L, not even a chip.

31C

 

Not a bad idea at all. With 100 octane, Richard Holdener got 522 rwHP with just a KB, Accufab, and filter.

 

I'm with Tim, Go for it..

 

How much boost was he running Tim? No LT's? I'd love to be at that level with my KB, I'm making 457/549 rwhp/rwtq @ 97 degrees in the booth. Cooler weather will pick it up, but not that much!

Check out "Boosted Beyond Bolt-Ons" and "Lightning Owners Get Screwed" here.

 

Tim,

I really appreciate the info. I wonder how long the motor would last with 20-21 psi of boost? I am seriously considering trying a lot more boost with my own tune, alcohol injection, and a nice fat and sassy A/F.

When they say 21 psi, I imagine they're speaking of peak boost? Reason I ask is because mine always ramps up with the KB. I start at 13 and ramp to 15.5 or 16 depending on outside temps. I'd love to have more than 13 when you stomp it though.

I'd love your opinion on trying to run that much boost on a stock long block. I have my own ideas of what is breaking the motors.

Jody

 

I think I got the same idea as Jody as to why the stock motors are breaking. And I plan to test that out with my new toy.

 

So far so good for me

But I DON'T adhere to the "Drive It Like You Stole It" philosophy that many have here Iam hitting 21# at peak, and I don't hit peak boost driving on the street. Only 5 or 6 times a day at the track.

But Iam under no illusion that Iam not pushing the limits of my stock block

 

I'm the same way. Heck, my little 1 gallon reservoir of alcohol will last a month or so before it needs to be re-filled. I'm not afraid to floor it but it isn't an "everywhere I go" type of occurence!

I'm going to find out that's for sure. I've been running 16 psi for a year. I'm ordering a couple of pulleys tomorrow from KB.

Jody

 

Hey, Iam ordering stuff too

 

What are we shooting for 50 lbs of Boost now,
OR SOMETHING ?

Hope it's something big Gator ???
cause then I'm going to have to out do you over the winter......

You know my wrrnty is almost up,
so now I can start Moding

 

Rob..... Rob..... Rob.....

You know you'll always play second fiddle to me
