[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15728109, member: 188865"] We could delve into the boost debate in this thread...but there's no data to suggest either way. The voodoo's have 12:1 compression which in my opinion is the biggest issue, but as we've seen on countless vette's over the years that run 6-8 psi with no issues, that's not necessarily a total obstacle to FI. Granted, the compression isn't going to allow someone to boost to levels that a built motor with 9.5:1 would, but it doesn't mean that they don't like boost or can't be boosted. As I said in a different thread, with the advent of E85, it makes boosting in scenarios like the voodoo even safer with more access (rather than having to tune to race fuel). I'd be more concerned about the harmonics and the balance of the engine than boost/torque and the stress of torqueing on the snout for the blower pulley tension. And I don't think the drive train is necessarily equipped to handle more than what 8 lbs of boost could send out of the motor. It's not a solid axle car with a bullet proof T56. I guess what I'm saying is time will tell. I plan on throwing a whipple on mine, but detuned to probably 700 rwhp maximum with an e85 tune. Anything more than that is useless with street tires for a turning car. I'm not trying to set any drag records or be the fastest from a ricer roll....the best thing about the whipple is that it will improve the torque to 500+ ft-lb from 2800 rpms all the way to redline. And that's on a fat/safe E-85 tune. Anyone wanting to make the GT350 into some drag strip titan is starting with the wrong platform. I'm completely and utterly okay admitting that. [/QUOTE]
