Skywalkr57 · 06-08-2002, 10:48 AM

im looking to get a S/C with a small amount of boost (probably 6lbs) looking at my current fuel setup do you think i have enough to power that, plus id probably get an fmu. how much to people usually gain from 6lbs? 60-70hp depending on combo? thanks

With your current setup you should be just fine, although you will definately need the fmu. I suggest trying to find some 30's, because with a blower you can never have enough fuel. As far as your hp estimates, your about right on. As far as the cam, I know the f cam makes a good supercharged cam, so you should be fine there too.

any guesses what id run with 6#'s, my combo and traction?

I'd say mid to low 12's with some traction.

No sure what's in a Holley Systemax I package but when I was running my Powerdyne with only 6lbs of boost (only saw 4.5psi), 24# injectors, and the rest of the mods in my sig, I made 380.7rwhp/367.9rwtq SAE corrected. On a not so nice day (hot nasty day), I ran a best of 13.48@111.7
