Man.....you're taking a big chance with only 91 available! To do it safley, you'd need tons of meth, and/or race gas. Besides......when are you actually seeing 18psi running on the street.........................safely? If you out an overdrive balancer on it, then your options will increase for more pulley sizes, and more boost. Myself.....I'd just keep it at 12-15 psi on the street.

I bet you will see 18 with a 2.7 on there.

Just better be tuned for it!

Yeah Joe from leftcoast thought so too with innovators overdrive balancer that I'm running. Did you have ARP head bolts on your motor or studs? Don't you have a new build in there now too?

it wouldn't hurt to turn it up a pound or so at a time and see if your gaining power, when it quits showing a gain drop back a pound and call it good

Yea ARP head bolts. I was seeing 15psi on my 9.0 to 1 408 at a mile ABOVE SEA-LEVEL with a 2.8 and I.W. OD crank. That setup at 2500 feet would have made 16 or 17psi no problem. I do not see how you would not make 18 easy!!!

My new build is almost done... I hope to get it 90%+ done this weekend, motor is back in... We will see, the honey do list is very long. There is still a chance I might end up with a Jackshaft 2300 but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Were you running a LEP motor before? What happen to that one? I can't believe no body bought that blower from you. Will Joe take it on trade for the jackshaft?

Yes it was a LEP. Things didn't work out.

No Joe said no upgrading or trade in on my 2300.
