How much boost can you safely get out of the eaton blower with a stock block? Don't have the $$$ left for the Kenne Bell so looking at porting the eaton and going with more boost, but don't want to do forged internals yet either
I was talking to Bob from Stiegemeier's yesterday and I told him that I planned on going with a CAI, ported eaton, and a 4lb lower pulley and he told me that I should stop there with the stock bottom end. The rods are the week link in our trucks, so if you plan on running pump gas I wouldn't go past 15psi. A lot of it is in your tune, but if you want more boost and a more aggressive tune with more timing, you will probably have to run race gas if you want to keep your rods in your block.
ok thanks, I got the 12 psi kit already the only other one that I can get right now with this cog drive is 17 psi I'd say maybe a little bit too much then, maybe just porting out the eaton will be good enough then
What about having the Eaton Extrude Honed? Anyone try this yet?
I liked the Plenum I had them do on my prev. '01 L vs. a friends 'ported' plenum.
Very clean & smooth.
