you can go higher with the boost of you have the proper fuel system and a good tune. No reason you sholdn't hit 450 -475 with 8-10 psi, 425 with 5-6 is my guess
I bet along with that impressive N/A 356rwhp your seeing some nice torque numbers too on the 331.
I've always heard that 15rwhp per pound of boost is a good estimate. In that case 5-6psi from the Paxton would yield 75-90 rwhp. So your 450rwhp goal should be easy to achieve, especially with that 331.
If you install a methanol injection kit as well you'll probably see 475 easy with gobs of torque to boot!
I have a Mr. Freeze meth kit from AFM. Just love that little thing!

thanks guys ended up ordering the paxton 1220sl 60 injectors and the tuner said to get the pro-m 90mm?...so far i only found it on the pro-m site.. they asked me what size inlet tube am i running?...not sure what the kit comes with but tuner also said to get the anderson ford power pipe?...anyone know what size that is?...thanks again...

Talk to rick at rnh he gave me the best deal on my 80 prom maf and he can answer all the questions you have
thanks.... but found a guy out here thats helping me out,very helpful....was talking intercooler but thats to pricey,just build motor last summer.....im going to run a water/methanal kit....new to me,dont know to much about how it works but he recommended it for my set up....gona have to do some reading how to install it....he says i should be good for 450whp plus?....wich ill be happy with

hey bud?....so im not cheaping out here with the meth kit?....is it fine for street strip use?....going to find out more about it tonight...thanks
I highly recommend a methanol kit. Methanol injection is Great for boosted cars. Perfect for street and strip.There are 2-3 brands out there but like I mentioned above, I'm using a Mr.Freeze kit from Anderson Ford. They are no longer available but you can find one used if you look around. You can pick one up for around $100 used.
I have my nozzle tapped into the power pipe elbow (pre-blower) blowing directly into head unit. The impeller atomizes it and its forced into the intake already mixed with the air. Makes for really cold intake air temps. The Methanol/water injection converts 93 octane fuel into 116-118 octane.
With real cold intake air temps combined with high octane fuel, you can add more timing and boost. Hense making more power.
It is a requirement to be custom tuned on a dyno to take advantage of a meth kit.
