What size oil lines would you guys use, right now I got Aeroquip 10 an with full flow fittings everywhere is that what everybody is running. I thought about going to 12an but is this overkill

What are the components on this build? Heads? What boost psi and blower drive ratio? Did you measure air intake temps?

Did you try a pair of 1050s on the build? Maybe you could have seen 1050 instead of 1000 and less heat in the intake manifold.

Seeing as he already has the 1050's I would go with what you got.

4195 on the board has a pair of Zul 540's with 8-71's that made 800 with less than 5lbs of boost. Over 1000 sure would be impressive with an 8-71 and no chiller. He!! By next season in hoping to make 850-900 with a 10-71
