If we are placing bets I have $2 you will go faster no chillers and the 5.4" pulleys on 110 than 5.4's w/ chillers. This would be great real world testing.

I'm with ya on that. I got $2 bucks on that also.

Also, for reference, my buddy SC288 on oso, has a 32 Sunsation, with warmed up HP500's, making about 550HP, 2'' shorties, running 88mph gps.

I'm thinking I will change the pullies to the 5.4 add 110 fuel and take a test ride yet this fall. If it works i can add the coolers this winter and already know about where I will be without adding timing. Just want to run 93 all the time and go over 100 anytime but this would be a good test! Try before I buy!!!!!

Cool! Let us know how it runs.

I been considering a meth injection kit for a while now myself. Not only the benefits from the inter cooling effect, but also raises the octane of the fuel charge, almost like running 116 octane in full boost.

If you can try to add a pyrometer and get the intake charge temperature without the chiller. That would also be nice to know.

The b&m intake has a plate between #4 and #6 intake runner, that would be a perfect place to mount a probe. Just drill and tap the plate and reinstall. Would be a great idea . And finally give some real numbers just to see how much heat the chiller actually removes.

Sunsation, If you need a hand held pyrometer with high temp save I can get you one in the mail.
