Magna Charger makes a complete kit.

I read somewhere it hit 430 RWHP.

I would hope for more than 430 out of a boosted 6.0...

Fuel pump, injectors (~60 lb, some kits will come with injectors), and you might need a boost-a-pump too (boosts the voltage to your fuel pump to make it work harder... you can get them with hobbs switches so they're only activated when you're in boost).

You should probably get a wideband, boost gauge, and maybe a fuel pressure gauge also.


Also, I'm pretty sure you can get a procharger for a TBSS as well. There are advantages and disadvantages to centrifugal blowers versus positive displacement blowers like a magnacharger... you'll want to look into them.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hell, with a cam and some bolt-ons you'd be hitting that, and half the price I'd bet too.

You guys are right. I missed the number I was looking for by one. 530 with a few other bolt-ons.

That sounds better. My previous GTO with a centrifugal (procharger) at 8 psi with just headers, exhaust, through a stalled auto, put down 543/51x.

One more thing - you're going to want a 2bar MAP sensor most likely. This is a cobalt part. And I happen to have an extra one because I just ordered one for my install and then while cleaning out the garage today getting ready to start the install, I found the one I had on my GTO before I demodded and sold it >_< I'm going to list it in the for sale section here and on tech for $25... 30 shipped.
