whats good for carb motors a 509 with a nick 1050 making a base with 9.5 to 1 670hp or bg 850 less power. PG OR WHIPPLE OR VORTEC? AND HOW MUCH BOOST AND HP CAN YOU GET.

Can you guys do a ECU flash at your shop Im going with 1.8 Rollers a set of imco powerflows and either a PC or wipple charger? Thanks for all of your help

I've had it four seasons and Miller88 had it before me. I did upgrade the upper gears to the newer design. You definitely need to flash the computer because it will run lean top end. Fuel system upgrade is a must also. Blowers get a bad name when people half ass install them. This board is invaluable when doing things your not sure about. Good luck.

You can pop wheelies!~

Airtime: Talk to Dean Nickerson; he makes 1000 HP with our setup using one of his blowthrough carbs and 10 psi. Another customer made the same HP using EFI and 10 psi. They were both at 8.25:1 CR. Your compression ratio is too high for that much boost. We have put 3-4 psi on top of that much CR but it's an expensive way to make a little HP. What heads and cam are you using?

I've been through one of the exhilerating and expensive boating seasons in 2006 that I can imagine. I started with a Crockett 565 Whipple, 930 HP, 1000Lb torque at 3700 rpm. This was in my Lavey Craft 27 Cat. It was awesome. Three drives later it was just as awesome but I was infinitely poorer (1 IMCO that lasted 2 1/2 hours and 2 Max Machine that lasted 10 times longer). HP and torque cost lost of money. Not just in the initial cost for he engine but in drives. Please keep this in mind. There is no drive other than a 6 that will give even the most careful driver all the trouble free hours that we would like.

I know this drive issue has been beaten to death on this forum, but the fact remains, SPEED COSTS LOTS OF MONEY. HOW FAST AND HOW LONG DO YOU WANT TO GO"

I keep telling you guys; centrifugal blowers are easier on drives. Just look at the graph above ~ 750 ft-lbs @ 3700 instead of 1000 ft-lbs. It makes a difference. Don't forget the Konrad drive in this power and price range. It will save you in the long run.

I agree the centrifugal blowers are easier on the drives but for the very reason I do not like them, they have no power at lower RPM. I like my old school roots 16:71.

Whipple and a Konrad...

Oh yea and a 28 Pantera!!!

What are you saying Brad, 750 ft-lbs @ 3700 isn't enough for you? Like to zing the rev limiters when getting on plane?

Hey Pantera: If you can't break it I'll never have to worry.
