Looking at buying a vmax with a magnacharger on it. It has a stock engine with this blower and has 8lbs of boost. Will the engine hold up if it is tuned correctly? How much boost can you run with a stock engine? Thanks your your help.
More like 145-150 with the supercharger. You'd be surprised at how inefficient they are. I outran one in both et and mph (the big indicator of power) with Jeffs Vmax making 119 rwhp.
Now, if you crank up the boost, get low comp pistons, and good rods then we can get into the 160 range. Start boring it out, going a lot more boost, head work, cams, ect.... and you'll get lucky to get to 200rwhp.
They are about the coolest visual and sounding things though!
