ATI just release a kit for the 4.7 in 6-8, 8-10, and a 12-14PSI range. ATI
recommended that the 4.7 run the 8-10PSI area versus the 6-8 or the 12-14.
Cost is 4250.00. Dyno at the rear was 375 with headers and exhaust.

Steve
Can't make a comparison to ATI kit because there is no ATI kit for 4.7
Nobody else has a kit yet but Kenne-Bell, and this was their test mule.
low boost? 7psi on this pulley , but they advised me not to go with more
unless I do other mods. Their Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 is pulling 11 psi but
needs 100 octane plus octane booster. And they're scared of burning pistons
if they do more

Dyno 184 rwhp/252 rwhp
seat of pants comparison before /after is impressive. Test and tune
tomorrow at local 1/8th mile track (Sunshine Speedway)

Is it worth the money? hard to justify , but one helluva lot of fun now,
especially with hotchkis suspension. Whips HER 93 Z-28 on straight and
corners, and the Z's in real good shape- 38000 miles
