looked into thatyself but tuner said i would be ok without a meth kit or intercooler if we tune mildly?.....and by that he was saying 450ish rwhp,i wanted to get it going and install an air to air intercooler on eventually.....the detonation at such low boost has me worried now....lol

Tune mildly? What fun is that?. "LOL just kiddin" 450 is a ball of fun and you're gonna love it!
I decided to go with the meth/water injection because I got a great deal on a used kit from a buddy. Glad I did too because the tuner can tune more aggressively with more timing. The nozzle is mounted in the power pipe and sprays directly into the blower. Helps to keep the blower cooler and for better atomizing of the mixture. The kit is activated by boost and increases as boost increases. Works great to reduce intake air temps even in the summer.
My car seems to be a handful in the heat of the summer as well as the cooler months.

I've heard that windshield washer fluid will work also.? Cheaper than the meth juice.? And easy to obtain

Yeah that's washer fluid for extreme colder temps more commonly sold in colder winter northern states. It has a higher methanol content than average washer fluid to keep it from freezing. Unfortunately it's hard to find in GA.

So, I buy Boost Juice from my local Summit. It's 49/51% meth/water. It's around $35 a case of four gallons. That's what my car was tuned with so I'm sticking with it.
It last's along time. I usually have to top my 1/2 gallon reservoir off about once month. It all depends on how I drive it.

Mine made a best of 519rwhp. The torque graph was jumpy/spikey on the various pulls. One pull it made 523 torque. Another pull it made like 485 torque. The lowest torque it made was 450. My tuner said I probably needed to replace my plug wires. He felt that was causing the spiking on the graph.
Anyway it made 519rwhp and somewhere 450-523 torque. LOL

Once my tuner was happy with his tuning, he bounced it off the rev limiter on the final pull to make the big bragging number. LOL
It showed 13 psi at around 6200rpm. I never push it that hard but have seen 12psi a few times on my pillar mounted guage. Its alot of fun and your gonna really appreciate all the hard work and money you've invested in that thing.
I see AFR heads in you avatar pic? What cam and intake you running on that stroker again?

Dude, that combo with the stroker will more than likely be well above 500 to the tires. What did it make naturally aspirated?

356rwhp/378torque....10-1 comp....ya was a blast as it was,but i like to wrench....lol,and i got a good deal on a brand new v3 so i pulled the trigger.....tuner said it would do good numbers,but like i said i just want safe good numbers...lol..like quite a few guys on here i put a lot of time and money into this pony....the detonation i heard got me scared a bit,hope he can make it work!
he also said to leave the 7-9 pulley on and see what we get,but i have a 5-6 psi pulley that im sure we will have to put on

Those are great N/A numbers! Especially that torque. Geez!
Lets see here. 356rwhp N/A. Now lets add 8 pounds of boost @15rwhp per pound. =120rwhp

That's 476-ish rwhp easy and the torque will be waaay up there too. Depending on the tuning, I see that and probably over 500. The 10.1 compression could be a factor but I know my guy could get it there safely. If not put a meth kit on it! With a meth/water injection 93 octane is basically like running 115-118 octane race fuel. That'll take care of the higher compression.
Tell Ya what, bring it to GA and I'll take you to meet Jeff at MO's Speed Shop. He'll tune it for all it's worth but safely where you can't hurt it. He's the best in the Biz!

Anyway, your settup is gonna make my little stock block mix look like a joke. LOL
Mine only put down 299/330 n/a before the blower.

Congrats!
