I’d be taking a close look at the tensioner… only way that pulley gets to be that way is there’s not enough bite into the belt and too much reliance on the frictional pulley surface. I could totally...

Where did I presume anything?!? My statement was 100% correct. It doesn’t matter what you “want” to do, fueling is this platform’s major sticking point. Either you address it and make good power,...

Bingo. If $5K for fueling is a deal breaker, then you can’t afford to mod this platform.

Agreed! Finally got mine for the first drive of the year after it sat in my garage since last November. It was like driving a new car again…but with a little more power… ;) :happy0180:

You definitely do not need to do heads on an LT4 to make good power. They flow decently well stock and with a blower, it’s just not going to be a massive power gain to do the heads.

Now if...

Correct all around. I had my cam ground on a 120 LSA to help keep the idle somewhat tame and help prevent blowing my boost out the exhaust.

Safety loop is mandatory with sticky tires. Axles required by NHRA at some point (don’t remember when) but even though I have GForce Outlaws the track never asks me about them. I think the DS will...

Do not run 26” wheels with a PD blower lol…definitely run 28” tall to help blunt the torque hit of the blower. 305/45/17 is a common size that works well. MT ET Street R drag radials are perfect...

No surprise there… tank over head generates some water column into the pump volute so that it doesn’t cavitate or become air bound.
