at 11psi, i think you might be, not only pushing the limites of the stock CR versus stock shortblock, but you will be definitely be pushing into the stock trans limits. You will have to be aware of the other mods needed to make the system work properly.

I think you might be able to be at 11psi, i know of one guy in a camaro that has pushed close to 15psi, but it is not, NOT recommendable without atleast a forged shortblock. They are not that expensive, for half the price of the kit, you can have a build 402ci motor builts out of your stock block. No sleeves, just a longer stroke of 4.00" to your already 4.010" (est) bore.

With that, you'll probably need to upgrade injectors. 42lbs or 65lbs would be best. The trans will need either a top-of-the-line rebuild if you want it to last and the largest trans cooler you can find. The rebuild really isn't that much cash really, but i suggest you find a good shop to get this done at. Finally, there is the tuning which is the easy part. Since there are few AWD dyno's period that can hold a h2, i would suggest also a wideband to set your optimal afr with hptuners software.

Sounds like alot, but that is what you may have to do if you want to get it done right the first time and not have any surprises. Now, the stock kit, or the d1sc tuner kit im assuming, you will also need a fuel pump. A simple inline booster a pump from kenne bell or an aeromotive will work. OR you can swap the stock pump for a walbro 255.

At 9psi or 7-8psi, you should make more than what the magnasun at equal boost pressure, peak power wise. However, the characteristics of a centrifugal blower is that it builds power linear... so, considering all things equal, a roots will get ya off the line while you be playing catch-up. You'll make more peak power so you should catch-up has the 112m roots blower will taper off on the top end unless it is a 122mp which utilizes a 90mm tb... good top end power.

Which comes to a valid point. These trucks are geared nicely. I see a huge draw back in acceleration, if that is what your interested in... with the stock torque converter. Its drop off inbetween shifts is pretty nasty. It goes from 6k in 1st gear to under 4k in 2nd. That is alot of power of acceleration your loosing just by the shift extension of the stock torque converter.

anyways, good luck!!!
