Kenne Bell works great on the 6.1 just keep it around 8lbs of boost as for the engine management this is a good option

The 2005 truck box with mods for a 6.1 tmplate works great. Had a customer do a 69 Dart 6.1 with an Edelbrock E-Force. Worked great and was easily tuned with CMR software.

I've got a KenneBell on a 5.9magnum in my 2000 Ram running at 8psi.
No issues and a nice neat low fit.
Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action

If you are up for it you should either replace the stock pistons with the drop in replacement piston we make (no balancing required) or pull out your pistons and open up the top ring gap for a boosted application. The 6.1 pistons have a very high ring replacement and it is a weak link. Opening up the ring gap will reduce damage from cylinder pressure spikes form detonation.

I would think that a twin screw type blower  (kenne Bell ) runs hotter than maybe a roots style (Magnunson). That might be better on a street car that sees alot of use  :bigsmile:

Go to DIYautotune.com and check out megasquirt.  Depends on your level of confidence technically. Also FAST XFI would work but expensive.
