Excaliber,
Watch out for the 5 p.s.i. boost with a Vortech driven by the crank. You'll probably lose half of the boosted benefit in additional crankshaft load and hotter intake charge temperature. Though I'm not familiar with your set up, I think you'll need around 9 p.s.i gross boost, less a couple p.s.i. lost to the crank, less 2 p.s.i. lost to an intercooler which is necessary when boosting 9 p.s.i. because your intake charge temperature will be around 160 deg. F. when boosting 9 p.s.i.
Good luck anyway.
Dave
