I'm thinking about getting an older V-1 T race M. I know these things are good for 850-900 or so. I have a all engine 5.3l 4v stroker currently. Not sure if this blower will match this engine decently.

I'm making just under 460whp on engine alone. I've got 60lb injectors stock 98 style return rails currently with a 340lph pump. Kits complete....

Not sure if I should jump on it.

I ran a T-trim Race version on my Big bore none stroker engine.. 8:5 compression and 4:10's with 04 heads and 01 intake stock and full exhaust.. I made 630rwhp on 17psi on 93.. Car was a deadly combo.. You might need more fuel than a 340lph, but I'm not sure..

I agree on the fuel. I have flat tops so my compression is up a little higher don't really care about that Ill run race fuel or e85 already doing it. What did you run for fuel?

The whole kits 2K so I think that's a very reasonable price. That power level your at is right where I would like too be 650ish would be plenty at this time.

Thanks for the quick response

If you have flat top pistons you're likely sitting at around 10:1.. and with e85 on 17psi you'll be in the 700's easily..

What did you run for fuel supply at that level? Pump, injector, rail etc. Also were you still on the 6-rib setup?

Do it! I have an F-1A-94 on the way to put on my 5.3 bb stroker. I'm at 9.8:1 with e85 and Sullivan/HPP intake, excited to see what it'll do. I'll be held back by the stock exhaust manifolds until I swap them out.

I was running a -8 feed, -6 return, A1000 pump and A1000 regulator and 80lb injectors (overkill) on 91/93 depending on where I was stationed at. I run a 8rib setup..
