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.

Nice numbers Charles must be a hoot was that on e85? interesting to see how the boost comes in 7psi@2400 - 10psi@4200 - 12psi@5800 - 13.8@7500
Not what i was expecting thought it would be fully lit from down low.
So going by 0.75 multiplication that would work out to roughly 611whp @13.8psi is that what you meant?
And would torque roughly follow this rule?
If not what would you assume torque would be @500 and 600 wheel respectively?
