good call on the gears, thats definitely going to be critical. I have no doubt its going to be a blast to drive, but with that setup I would have had to recommend the whipple lol. I will be awaiting your review, and some videos!

There is always the option to run a higher boost pulley and wastegate to a lower boost level to bring the torque curve down lower with a procharger. Just have to watch IATs.

I ran 4:10 gears in my ProCharged Ram R/T with a 30.5" tall tire just hoping to get some more torque down low. Swapped pulleys from 8 up to 10psi and still couldn't get that PD blower bottom end.
It looked good though so at least there was that. lol

Yes! Running a D1X Procharger on E85. Palm Beach Dyno did the tune. Running 19 lbs of boost! Its very very fast. Normal driving is like stock, Much better for street

DDC referred to those engines as "naturally aspirated" and the engine models ended with an "N". Later in the development cycle of the DDC 2-cycle turbochargers where added on top of the superchargers, and these engine's model number ended in a "T" or "TA" (TA for turbocharged and aftercooled).
