Can the ATI be reboosted to 8PSI? What is the reported HP with both setup?

Just got back from a trip to Jacksonville FL (from Nashville, TN). It
was a 22 hr drive counting down there and back. I saw gas prices
ranging from $1.33 around Macon, Georgia to $1.77 in FL around the
intersection of I-75 and I-10. Lucky for me - my MPI averaged 17-18mpg
in some really bad conditions (heavy wind/rain/traffic/foot). I also
had the Edelbrock Pro-Flo on there but am pretty sure most of it was the
MPI. I feel like I can get close to 20mpg under perfect conditions.
This is on a Magnum 360 in a 4800lb Ram. I know it sounds incredible
but its true. I was so amazed when I saw the trip odometer go over
400mi several times on a single fill (once 417miles with almost an 1/8th
remaining in a 26 gal tank). My measurement method is the most accurate
I have found that is topping off and resetting trip odometer to 0. Go
however long and then top off again and divide miles driven by gallons
used.
Anyway, the best part of the trip was the 2 days I spent in Jacksonville
w/my buddy and his Indy Street Machine. It has a Magnum 360 that has an
ATI procharger (6psi) with intercooler and is also bottle fed (N2O). We
drove around to local car shows and cruise spots sporting a wicked
whine! I had to give my truck up to my wife to drive so I could ride in
the badboy 8-) We had a blast. And no - he hasn't touched the motor -
bone stock internals. Not even an additional fuel source for the blower
(tap into the rail for the fuel solenoid tho). He's been running this
setup for over a year I think and has emptied 3 10lb bottles so far
(even a 175hp shot he said). When that blower gets spinning good - the
thing takes off like a jet engine. It was too wet to trigger a shot tho
- even regular stop lights were a challenge as the rear broke loose
often 8-).
The thing that sticks w/me the most after two days of fun has definately
got to be the whine - true street machine - at its best!
Latr,
Shane
