I bet you do miss that car....for sure. If I'm currently at 400-415 horsepower, and then I add 6 lbs of boost, where would that put my crank horsepower, roughly????

BTW, here's an article I found on a 73 Charger with boost AND E-85. Guy says he would like to try something with the static compression of 10:1 or maybe more! Check it out....

I was probably in the same boat the car ran 12.90 on cool days and 12.99-13.05 @ 103.5 on hot days before boost. It was a all steel 3850lb sled. After adding the S/C unit w/o tuning I ran consistantly between 12.08-12.18 @ 114. That was about 5.5-6lbs of boost. Mind you this was a 9:1 cast piston, stock 906 headed Summit 488 cammed 440. I bought an 8psi pulley but never ran it at the track Sold the car in the staging lanes Via cell phone. So I ran it all day thru the pipes, shifting at 5k around 4psi and the car ran 12.40's. I'd guess you'll pick up close to 100 hp and tons of torque.
