whats the maximum boost level can you run on the stock Eaton before considering the Kenne Bell or any other supercharger upgrade? Im running about 14 psi now

Gator will tell you he has like a Hundred lbs of Boost
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

So I'd say his set up "6lb lower plus 1 or 2lb upper",
or V's old set up, "a 8lb lower", is def max IMO.
Both of them had (and in Gator's case still have) very fast strong trucks that can whoop *** on the street and strip,
and still be awesome road trip vehicles

BUT FOR THE RECORD, I'M STILL FASTER THAN GATOR

thats right rob lol....
as you may or may not be aware of though, efficiency goes wayyy down, temps go wayyy up with a lot of boost on the eaton. If you dont want to step all the way up to a KB there are other options.. aka Works S/C, centrifugal s/c's (Procharger) or the most economical option, porting the stock eaton, which does a lot of good for improving efficicency and thus power.

You have NEVER broke the 114 mph barrier in the quarter........till then Iam F A S T E R
Have another hit on the bong and dream away

If you know how to handle the extra heat that is generated by over spinning the Eaton, there is power to be gained
