1900 prob does want something that ridiculous tiny! the 3.2 in my 2300 starts whining like a girl at pretty low RPM

i am having a boost and egt gauge installed this week, so once i know what boost i am actually making, i will adjust the pulley size... i sure wish there was a variable pulley (clutched) to manage for altitude and atmospheric conditions....

as for long tubes.... do long tubes sacrifice low end torque for high rpm hp???

personally, 95% of my driving is between idle-4500 rpm, 4.9% to 5000rpm and almost never to 6000 rpm...

these are just guesses, but my point is, low rpm torque and mid band power is what is most useful to me....

this week also debadging and black out grille, removing weather strip...

Maggies love to make instant low boost...headers will make it that much more effective as the stock manifolds are a bottle neck, but they will yeild less boost, as boost is simply a measure of back pressure...

Sounds like to me that you need to get yourself a custom cam for your particular application (lower end power band vs high rpm hp)

This is if you are willing to get that involved with it!

Blower on a v8 is plenty of power for most people!

not willing to change the cam, and there is noticeably more power, just looking to fine tune... i though perhaps rear (and front awd) gear changing would solve the problem... if i choose to push the issue...

as for videos... cmon guys, it sounds just like any 6.2 with a little whine... unless you are in the seat, it is not that exciting...
