Well, I've actually heard of stock L's turning 13.7's, but on VERY cold days. All high h/p & tq. (supercharged) vehicles run best in cold weather... but the L seems to be the most sensitive to weather conditions. Cold and dry, that's what Big Red likes.

15.5#'s of boost? wow... and on the stock blower, it's a wonder she hasn't sheared yet! I've never heard of anybody running so much boost through the stock blower, I didn't think the insides could handle the RPM.

I think the inside of the eaton can handle almost any rpm, but the higher the rpm the less efficient it becomes (the heat buildup is a lot more). That is one of the reasons the Kenne Bell or the Worxs can make more HP at lower rpm and boost, the effiecency. I think the big thing is the tune, if you run a hot tune, but all the ratio's are correct everything should run along good. Might not be a great idea to do many 150mph blast for prolong'd periods on the stock heads though. What year is your L again? 99 or 00 ?

Well, heat (efficiency) has always been a problem with a roots style blower, hence why it's always better to go w/ a centrifugal style blower because they don't put out NEAR the heat of a roots. Roots just has way too many moving parts.
