I dont have that many more pics, but I'll get a couple up. Yes, it's a bottom to top flow FMIC.

I'm not really sure what boost I can run safely. The pistons are 11.5:1 compression ratio which is pretty high, but I think with E85 I could probably run 10psi and not worry too much (double what I'm running now at 5psi lol). Compared to most Evos, my dynamic compression is still pretty low in comparison. Hell, the next owner of my V ran 9psi on pump gas on 11:1 stock motor and his is still doing great.

The main limiting factor is the fuel pump. The Z06 pump is basically a Walbro 400, plus the boost a pump should be good to around 700rwhp. I want to basically max it out and quit there for a simple setup. Don't want to mess with a double pump setup, or aftermarket fuel rail and lines, etc. It just becomes crazy expensive and unreliable past that point. If I only end up with 650rwhp, I'll probably put a smaller pulley on it next Winter and run 7psi or something.

Sorry, I am leaving this Friday back home to Iowa. Wish I could stay but I have to be back at my parent's house.

Scheides also had an inclination that I was doing a blower when he saw the crank pinning lol. Unfortunately, I just found out I can't make it to the mitsustyle dyno day either, have stuff to do at home that weekend. I do plan on getting a dyno tune though, so I'll post up numbers when I have them.
