nice correlation of torque and horsepower.. rare to see an understanding of that. while this blower makes instant boost, it doesnt make instant full boost.. at least it doesnt tend to in the applications i am used to watching it work. on my coyote the boost somewhat ramps in, so the peak torque can occur some higher and stay flatter.
but i still dont think we will see this blower make both 500 HP and 500 torque from the same pulley, probably going to have to pick one or the other. 500 torque is too much for the stock engine for 90% of users IMHO anyway... reserve that much for the risk takers.
heres the whipple 2.9 in action on my coyote, which as a 11:1 v8 DOHC. not all that mechanically dissimilar to a VQ + 2 cylinders. Notice the boost curve. I bet if you take the numbers and multiply x 0.75, that is probably rather close to what you could expect to see in VQ performance with it.
