Wanna see between 15 and 20 lbs...and dont need to over do the blower. U know.

    And I know... lol. But didnt want someone to call me out for not sayjng the truth for one reason or another later... so i wanted to make the correction on the ci.

    That would be pretty nice if you can just do a conversion to the d1 and meet your goals. At least it seems more cost effective in the long run.

    I'm curious to see how much I can get out of the f1a with this new setup. Old setup with Trickflow heads and different cam, I saw around 15lbs. I want to see at least 20lbs now. Time will tell if the new setup and procharger pulley will get me there. I think it will get me to were I want to be. Should be a heck of a car to drive once it's back together.

    Both you guys need to remember, boost psi is just a restriction to flow. Meaning if you're heads are smaller or have restrictions before chamber you will see higher psi, but doesn't necessarily mean more power. If everything flows freer, you will see less psi but MORE power.

    Sorry, alot of people don't know that and start nut swinging boost psi when they have restrictions and then wonder why a guy with 12psi makes more than their 16, then the guy with 12 is a liar,etc.

    Internetz yo, see it alot with turbo guys

    It's a great point to bring up and explain. Like you said, some people don't know that or don't understand it.

    Sounds like a good mix of parts. What's your exhaust setup? And I think you'll be taxing out that blower unit, that cam has got some overlap so it will take more to fill up that motor with boost. What's the time frame look like?
