supercharged lt1

I just bought an ATI p600b supercharger/intercooler for my 1993 Formula.
What cam would be good for 9 lbs of boost, and what some are good forged pistons to drop my compression ratio to 9:1. (stock heads for now)

I know a decent amount about cars, numbers arent my strong point though.

Call Lloyd Elliott as he can make some good recc's for your setup. Might be best to go with a custom grind anyway.

We have a "Forced Induction" forum. I'll move your post there.

How much power do you want to make? That 600b won't go real far.

9psi is entirely relative - at 9-1 you may not be real impressed. On a good flowing top end it would be a different story.

Cam it the way you want to drive it. Superchargers don't mind a little overlap. If you want a 7k screaming setup with a rough idle, then buy a big cam. If you want it to drive nice then buy appropriately.

I'm going to assume stock displacement since you didn't say otherwise. SRP has a 24cc dish that will get you close, but a lot of people don't like them. Mahl has a better piston that is around the same dish that will do better but costs a bit more.

additional info

Yeah, I got the setup offf a guy for 1800 bucks, I know the d1sc and p1sc are better, but i couldnt pass it up. my friend has a mild 5.0 built and i have to whoop his car.

I just bought a racetronix fuel pump and harness(255L/Hr @ 43.5PSI @ 13.5V ) 42 lb injectors. Stock motor for now, but saving up for a 383 stroker kit(any suggestions). Gonna get another block and build that motor for more boost on the side. I just want to pump as much power as possible from what i got (i believe i got a good deal)

Im lookin for about 400 rwhp until the 383.

Daily driver? If not then I would set it up with a good tune and leave it be. Should be able to do 400hp pretty safe. Put the money in your boost motor

not at all, weekend cruiser, planning on forged internals, porting stock heads/intake, 3.42 rear gears, 9.5:1 compression, maybe 383 if budget allows.
Not putting it together unless i build it right

*update*
Waiting on student loans to come in. Going to have about 2 grand (probably a lil more) and I wanna go forged b/c I don't want to
What are your suggestions for a reasonably priced 350 (preferably) or 355 rotating assembly. i would like a 9.5:1 Comp. ratio with stock heads* and to have about 450 rwhp conservatively. I'm hoping for more

Its a 93 Formula A4 and my motor only has 24k on it so I do not believe I need to get it overbored. ( I put half of those gently driven miles on it :P)

I have a Procharger p600b w/ a 9 lb pulley (2 core intercooler), 42 lb injectors, Walbro 255 intank, Flowmaster 40 series 3 in catback, and stock everything else.

What exhaust would support my setup, I was thinking Pacesetter LT's into 3 or 4 inch single or 2.5 in true duals from what I read. On a budget, but I get to pump about 2 grand into my car every 6 months to a year. (tax returns rule!) I want to drive it as much as I can, so I am amassing parts b4 I put em on.

Learning more and more every day. The advice given to me earlier in this pist really helped. Just trying to plan my finances now.

*Heads
Would it be More cost effective to port the stock heads/intake, buy some decent used heads off of this site, or Edelbrocks Rpm xtreme 194 cc CNC lt4 Heads b/c they are 1029.50 a pair(267 cfm intake and 187 exhaust so I read)


Sorry for the long post, but i wanted to get as much info out there as I could.
