It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

The main problem is between my job, keeping my wife pacified, and tending to four kids.. I don't want to spend my "free" time fixing broke crap on a car. I figure by 2020 I'll start to slow down a little.

How much boost can a stocker handle?
Click to expand...
To be completely honest, 12 lbs is more than safe. I've seen 16 without issue on numerous cars. Worst case is blown head gaskets. Decent Felpros and 10-12 lbs of boost all day and never worry

Yep, I see 12 psi regularly, its tuned by the best so no worries. I had an 8" crank pulley standing by and had plans to pump it up to 15 psi. But,, when it dynoed at nearly 520 I figured I'd better stop right there.
That's already more powa than recommended on the old stock block.

Can you PM me a price for a suitable kit? I'd prefer to not tap my oil pan. What fuel pump and injectors do I need? I have a 255lph and 30# currently.

42 lb injectors and 255 pump will get it done no problem. When I get in Monday I'll shoot something over to you. V3 is self contained so no worries about the oil pan there

A million years ago, aka, back in the day... one of the rags (I think it was MMaFF, I know, rag story...) took a bone stock car, added a blower, intercooler the proper fuel system and cooling components and made 400rwhp on livable boost.
Did not pay a whole lot of attention to the article since I'm a n/a junkie, but always stuck in my mind.

Guess all I'm saying is that if a rag could do it 30 years ago, then with today's technology it should not be impossible to make 400rwhp reliably with a blower.

Good luck.

I have a aeromotive 340 pump I'd be willing to let go cheap if you needed it with about 1500 miles on it . Just let me no if you do

here's a question that may be a little more on the vain side:

can you get the tuner v3-si kit (i.e. no fuel stuff) in the black finish, or is it only available in the full system? @smkshw 's thread has me craving that setup. still on the fence on if i want to go that way or not, chances are then i'd be on the edge of needing roll protection/other saftey bs or risk getting thrown out on race days, which means a $3k blower ends up costing about 4-5k to actually run.

Agreed but sure would be fun to run fast enough to need the safety stuff lol.
