Looks like we have a pretty similar setup. I just got my car tuned with 13 psi from the F1A, and it made 623 rwhp 567 rwtq on my 355. I see about 3-4 psi at 2000 rpm, so you rarely ever need to downshift to pass somebody. It does howl through the rev range unlike my old D1SC, its loud at idle and you can hear it roaring all the way up to redline.

What pulley are you running for 13psi? I have a 4.25 on the way to start out with. My p1sc was maxed out at 10psi with the 3.40 pulley. I think im gonna try the new racetronix 79lb/hr injectors. What ones are you running? Also are you running meth? I plan on around 20psi when im done with meth and hopefully around 700 plus rwhp

Im in Colorado where my elevation is 5600 feet above sea level, but up here I am running a 4.00" blower/7.65" crank combo. I had the d1sc, but had the 3.4" pulley and maxed that out at 11 psi. For fuel im running a 255 lph in tank, vortech in-line booser pump, Cartech FMU and 42 lb/hr injectors with tunerkat tuning. I am running just the twin highflows with no meth. Heres a dyno graph

Its shorter than the stock one but 3.5 inches thick. Its the one OFI uses on their kits to stand vertical between the cores.

Its crossed my mind

I'm a full time student in college now and funds are tight! Especially after spending ~10 grand on this motor build with the F1A. I will likely upgrade to a air/water IC setup rather than hacking up the front end of the car. The car looks pretty stock from the outside, and these young guys don't know why my car idles like **** and where that whistling is coming from.



heres a pic of my F1A

No hack job here my friend. Bumper support and all is there. Yeah I removed the fogs but that can easily be addressed if need be.

Nope. I used a dremel and small wheel cutter believe it or not. Took me all of 15 mins to do and then I just smoothed it all out w/ grinder wheel.

The F1A is a work of art...If it is too loud for you, check out my PVC silencer I made on pg 2 of my Cardomain site.
