Theoretical Boost Question

[Douglas]

IDI ford with 6psi. won't Dyno a whole lot more than 60hp at the wheels

That's just not so... My 6.9 made 109 hp at the wheels when run through an eddy current dyno in 2nd gear. Now it had a 7.3 pump on it, and the exhaust looked like pouring india ink into a bowl ov water. More air would have been useful...heh-heh-heh.

That was a strong 6.9. Think of the power it lost thru what was prob a C6 trans.

I wish the boost thing worked....I make 60psi and about 360 at the wheels with no nitrous

If you can find a secluded enough area, you can always just mark off a quarter or eighth mile and run it. Then do one of those online calculator things....that should get you close.

Yeah...it was a snap-ring-dropping C6. That damn gearbox was the Death of that truck...though it happened to die just as a 1 Owner/1 Driver 1991 with 100k was made available by my friend's Grandfather. If I ever need another truck, it will be an 84-86 F250 with a 4BT and an NV5600.

That would be an awesome combo. A 4BT can be tuned to 200/550, cant it?

Figure it should be able to run 2/3 of the Ram motors. Tweak the pump and turbo... Now the turbo is an interesting prop, there are lots of them small for 6BT that would do very well on the smaller mill...as in an HX35 would be a fairly large turbo. All that said, I think I'd be quite OK with only a mild bump.
