hey guys/gals, i was wondering what everyone is seeing for boost... with my set up i get 13-13.5 #s of boost, mods are apten, JLP forced air intake, O/R x pipe, magnaflow catback.. the pulley i have is a 2.80 upper only and was thinking about going to a 2 # lower.. isnt the 2.80 upper saposed to give 14#s - 16#s? ported cars and none ported cars what do you see? i also have a gords ford HE, for cooling as well and a mezier water pump.. now another question is... if you add headers (mid lengths) im assuming that you would loose some boost cause you're freeing up back presure.. but if you add more boost to the system you should make more power then what you were doing with less boost but now you can run more becuase you opened up the exhuast..
this would add more HP right? say that i have the set up above without headers... and i made 499 RWHP . then added mid lengths to the set up.. and lost power down to say maybe 470 now and i lost 1# of boost (from 13-13.5 to 12-12.5 because of the headers, now if i added a 2# lower to make up for the more free-flowing air from the headers and am making 15-15.5 #s of boost i should see more HP right?
also, do you think that the blower would still be over spinning and loose lonengevity? (spelling wrong?) even with everything moving through the system? what ya guys think with everything? thanks guys :read:
