So the last combo had some fuel issues and I think it was going to max around 5000 rpms so now I think I have things cleared up. I'm selling the old TKO to make way for a new TKO600, selling the TrickFlow Trackheats to make way for the World Roush 200 64cc iron heads, swapping out the X303 to go with a stage 3 TrickFlow trackheat cam, and the Torker II for a Victor Jr, and lastly stepping down to 10 lbs from 14 lbs on the ole D-1. The goal is to stretch out the power band and bring it to a higher rpm while keeping the power the same. Im going to trade some boost for more NA power with the larger heads, cam and intake so things are a little safer and at a higher rpm. For the peeps who dont know, I currently have a carbed 342 stroker with a 14 lb D-1 Procharger and the combo made 516 at the wheels at 4900, but I think the HCI combo is holding it back, the current fuel system is too small and the blower makes too much power. The answer, redo the HCI, lower boost and go to an electric high pressure fuel system. So I know have an intake, heads and cam for sale. What do you guys think. I think the iron is better protection against overheating, holds boost better, and the 64cc chambers will take me down below 9to1 so I can completely avoid detonation.

Scot I have some ATI pullies if you need them.... I have a nice Reichard Racing ultra grip 4.30" blower pulley along with a few others. You have my e-mail..

Good luck on the new combo, although I'd rethink the cam, not really happy with the results I have seen on a few of my customers blown cars with the TFS cams

what were the problems they had. I need a pulley to get the thing down to 10 lbs or less. I'd go custom but they are pricey and I dont need too much power.

Low power, although on the one the blower was undersize for the combo.

There are a few other off the shelf grinds out that yeild better results or you could go custom and be done with it..

I have a 4.3, 4.4 blower pulley that should lower the boost output.
