I worried about how much boost to put on my car like most of you but the one thing that always got me thru the decision… I'm not always into boost. If your worried about over spinning the eaton, take into consideration how often you actually get into boost. After thinking about about it like that… I switched to a 2.76

It put down 451hp and 471tq with a 2.93.

Why? If it breaks either way you are going to have to pay for it. You might as well enjoy it while you can.

Red10th your not going to blow your engine unless you do high speed runs and holding the rpms high for 10+ seconds! Most of us dont do that.

i think a 2.76 upper and 6 pound lower would produce crazy #'s, with a port even crazier

After a point, adding more boost to the eaton is pointless. It will generate allot of heat and you'll get very little in return.
