Re: What do you think of this engine performance upgrade?
I agree with tomp you would be better off with Magnuson supercharger at 5 or 6 lbs. of boost which will not hurt a H2 at all. What they are offering is a really good air flow improvement but, you got to flow more air to really get the great benefit from the kit. It would help if You could go to ram air but, that is a completely new set of difficulties. What they offer is something I would do at some point after I added a supercharger to push more air and fuel to justify their kit. Play with a supercharger for a little while then go and have their kit done and run your boost from 5 or 6 lbs. up to about 15 plus lbs. of boost and see the screamer you will be strapped to. I suspect though You will for the money be happy with supercharger.
You can search and find suggestions I have made many times but, Dragon and I are running the stock 6.0L engine with supercharger at around 5 to 6 lbs. of boost along with some good tuning, good air intake, and header catback system with true dual exhaust, 160 degree T-Stat, electric fans from a 3/4 Gm truck and get around 550HP at the ground. This is with no internal mods and no tranny add-ons yet but, they are coming soon. Just aftermarket add-ons but, will improve a great deal more once i get my hands on it and do some real good tuning once Dragon is finished with the electronic upgrades. What he is doing is important to Our working to get as close to 1000HP to ground with no internal mods just stock except for add-ons. Will of course be adding water/methanol inj. and co2 spray to aftercooler as well as an old fashion ice bucket with fuel line running through it.
Lot's of tricks to get whatever a person is looking for but, requires dedicated study from leaders in performance industry or at least having good people in town that do not mind sharing info. If need be to get to the 1000HP We will most likely go with a ported LS6 set of heads, LS6 cam and some more compression pistons that have been introduced by Performance Products who made the Diablo programmer as well as many other niche type items.
Well You know the old saying anyone can go as fast as they want but, they just have to spend the money or know how to do it yourself.
Follow tomps advice i would say.
