adding a novi 1000 to a 313 hp NA engine

**xsvstang** · 02-07-2003, 09:12 AM

My current combination is putting 313 hp to the wheels. If I add a novi 1000 what should I realistically expect to add to the RWHP number??

I have a new block in the shop and eventually want to build a 331 shortblock and then add the components from my existing engine. The block that I intend to use is simply a Summit factory replacement block. I am assuming that with the 331 and a Novi 1000 that I should remain on the safe side of breaking the block where the novi 2000 will push me over the edge.

The car is nothing more then a fun street car as I have never even (yet) had it at the track.

So, does anybody care to guess what adding a Novi 1000 to my current combo would potentially give me for hp to the wheels??
Thanks for the input.

I would expect probably around 390-400+ rwhp adding a Novi 1000 to that combo running 5-6 lbs of boost.

You should get at least 400, and with a nice tune you should be looking @ 420 or so.

When you go to the 331, you will loose some boost, but the power will be the same as the engine will make up for it.

If I swapped pulleys and went with a power pipe on the 331 do you have an educated guess where that would put me in boost and RWHP??

And maybe the same question if I did the power pipe and pulley swap on my current 302 combo?
Thanks again.

By pulley do you mean the F150 crank or a custom pulley for your blower?

I am referring to the F150 crank pulley. However, I must admit that I am an EXTREME supercharger novice so maybe I am mistaken. It was my understanding that the F150 would give a couple more pounds of boost.

Yep, the F150 will give you a few more pounds.

My estimation, with power pipe, and F150 pulley:

306
Boost: 10lbs
HP @ wheels gain: 120

331
Boost: 7lbs
HP @ wheels gain: 80

The 331 will make less boost but I would say the engine will make up for it, and it will be just as quick if not faster.

Thanks for the input Ian. According to Pro-M's website a 30 lb injector will support 436 supercharged horsepower and 530 NA. A 36 will support 523 supercharged HP and 640 NA hp. Of course I did not see an indication if this is RWHP or flywheel. Do you have a suggestion for injector size on the aforementioned combinations??

Thanks again
