    I dynoed a Chevy with a little more head and cam, 11.5 compression and 17#'s of boost. It made 1550 hp at 6500 rpm's. It made 1220 ft pounds of torque at 4500, peak was 1253 at 6100 and still had 1223 at 6500. This was with a pretty basic fuel system and 30* of timming. You should be in that area with 20# and 12.5 compression.

    My combination is similar 481 CI Indy Wedge with .770 lift cam 114 center installed at 108. MSD-12 with a standard helix 8/71 #21 lbs boost 110 pump. The car ran 191 in the quarter with a weight of 1950lbs. You could use the weight and MPH to figure HP if you want. Remember the High helix blowers will make more HP (I was told 100-150) using the same boost becasue they induce less drag on the crankshaft.

    Considering my combination I ran several converters and had the best luck with a 4500RPM stall but fought tire shake with Goodyear 17-33 tires. I went down to 3600RPM stall in an effort to resolve the tire shake and increased the fuel flow at launch but I do not think this was the right way to go. Anyway I hope this information helps,
    Dave

    Brandon Booher has the fastest torque converter car that I know of and he uses a Coan converter ;) . Just call Coan with all your info and they will build what you need.

    We run a 572" Indy headed wedge with a std 8-71 and a 110 pump, its been to 170 mph in the 1/4 and we wiegh 3250lbs on a little 10.5w tire. I would bet your motor would run a little better because of the HH blower. We have more cam and head and you have more compression and a better blower, maybe that would balance out, I dont know.

    Our converter stalls at 5500 and with a 4.56 gear its plenty violent, I'm torn between lowering the stall speed or going with a steeper gear. You already have 4.10 gears so it might like more stall depending on your tire maybe.

    Im still learning this stuff myself so take that into account.
