Supercharging

[matuva]

I have a customer willing to build a powerhorse on a 6.5

To do so, he wants to buy a Ted's engine, and put a supercharger on it. The goal is to reach 400 HP at the flywheel.

I have found a supercharger supplier who can sell a 400 HP kit, with different pulleys so you can adjust from 250 to 400 HP...

The seller says no need to lower comp to 18:1, even if it would be better.

That being said, how much can handle stock transmission?, trans, transfer, rear end....

weak link is the engine not the running gear

Tranny is ok, might want a better converter though. There is alot more parasitic loss with a supercharger.

The input shaft on the 4l80-e is kinda weak,I snapped mine.

Any address to share or suggestion on US supplier of supercharger kit for a 6.5?

They don't exactly give them supercharges away $4900 +
I would rather use a 12 valve cummins in da truck to get the 400+ ponies.

Matuva ,If the guy don't mind spending the money to build a strong engine i could sell you the 506 block in my sig.:agreed:
I don't seem to have the ambition nor the time to fart around with it anymore :nonod:

What's this block Simon? An Optimizer?

Nope,better than that. Specially build for me in China , machined to perfection
it has no outer main cap bolt holes, perfect for splayed mains or a solid combined main cap skirt to hold the bottom end together and prevent the common outer main bolt hole cracking.
