Im just running a stock engine besides my 2 mods. but im looking for something that will give me alot of boost, like around 10psi

Well, honestly OP, the P1 can push 12-psi with a pulley conversion like Vic mentioned. The other guys can correct me if I'm off here, but I honestly wouldn't push more than 9 or 10 psi on a stock 2v block. I've seen guys blow engines on less. The thing is to make SURE you get a good tune done for it. As long as you get that done and keep under about 400 RWHP I can't see you having any problems brudda. And centri blowers like the P1, the Vortech's and Paxton Novi's are good for DD's because you don't start building boost until you're higher in RPM's. That's just me though.


Vic: I've heard similar numbers before, so upgrading the head unit is something I'll probably have to wait and save up for. Though will I need the BAP to push 500+ out of a P1 head unit? That's what I'm trying to get at brudda. If I don't, that's money I can put into suspension work, like a new panhard, and better springs/shocks..

But im looking to get OVER 400 and maybe 450

A P-1sc will get you to your +400rwhp goal. I wouldn't recommend going much higher than that on the stock bottom end. You are gonna need some supporting mods though, like a better flowing exhaust for starters, to help your engine get there.

yea im getting either Magnaflows or SLP LM1's here soon. but I know this is a newbie question but what do u mean by my stock bottom end? like what would I need to make it not stock?

A Built Shortblock.(Everything Below the Heads) Rods, pistons, Crank. I tried to find a Diagram on Google but no luck. If you stay around 400(so people say) u will be ok if you have a good tune(get a Dyno Tune from a Reputable shop after install). Im not going to run my s.c untill i get my built motor in because if i blow my stock motor thats just wasted money when i can wait and sell it.


you can buy everything seperate(talk to a good machine shop to assemble). $1800-2500
OR
You can buy an already built one aswell. MMR, THR, (places like that) $2500+(thats a lowball)

Will I need all of that stuff though?? like the rods, pistons and crank?

I found this and it looks like a good package, but does it have everything I need? and it has the option for a D-1SC, what is that?

D-1 is a step up from the P-1. Stronger and can provide you more boost. People with the D-1 usually range from 12 to 20psi and can push upwards of 600rwhp.

But should I upgrade to the D-1 if I have a stock block? I know ill probably need a different pully.
