Superchargers in general have a linear curve so if you hit 500wtq it’s at the very top near redline, your motor is spinning at a high RPM so it’ll wear the motor out less quickly. On the flip side, twin turbo setups make torque very low in the RPM band which puts a lot of turning/twisting force on those con rods which is how you end up having a bad day if you just “tune for max HP”, disregard the fact you’re making 550+ tq, and give ‘er a full send or 2, hope you got $$$ for a built block. Then again, the torque pulling you like a freight train down low is what people love. It’s all what you want to do.

Still need to see a dyno or driving video of the TG C39-110 kit.... I need to hear some S/C soundsssss :driving:

Can you prove/validate your 15psi? Pulleys, SC rpm, SC trim, SC bearing upgrade, accuracey of boost gauge, etc? How do you know people making less than 15psi is due to belt slip? How did you figure out and know "proper belt tension"?

Stillin plenum with A2A setup....15.2 psi with a v3 SCi trim 2.87 serpentine pulley, 3.47 jackshaft pulley, 2.95 supercharger pulley, K&N filter. Validated through EcuTek data log. I’m sure if I had an Si or upgraded Ti trim and no filter it may be more...but that v3 can’t take that abuse for long before the oil slinger is destroyed and is eaten by the gears-trust me on that.

I have also have Stillin plenum with A2A setup but about 2000rpm slower with my pulley sizes (checked with Vortex calculator), but with upgraded Si trim and only get 10psi. I'm also running the "standard" belts on serp and SC. Are you using the Gates "RPM" belt(s)?
I have ordered these to see if they will help with boost, otherwise I have no idea how you could get 50% more boost than me, but would love to know.

True. Lets get back on topic here.

We are going back to the Dyno on Monday and will have additional boost level logs to share. I think we will do a 15psi log, 20psi and then also one where we remove the filter system to see where the kit can go. However, we will most likely run out of fuel again so we will chop throttle at 100% duty cycle and then superimpose the boost line to show what the kit could do if someone were to string it all the way out.

I was talking to a guy on the phone last night and he was saying that he was trying for the NA record and was taking his motor up to 8500rpm on the dyno. He is now going built block and this kit. Cant wait to see someone run this thing up.

Stock intake manifold? I recall there being problems where the stock manifold can crack at those higher boost pressures.

Yes stock manifold.

Do you have a picture of one of these cracked ones? I think its more of a scare tactic for people to buy unnecessary parts and spend money.

How'd that dyno-day turn out?

Shucks, I kept checking for the results thinking it was this past Monday lol

It was supposed to be but by the time we received the new injectors and had them in we only had a day to road tune prior to the dyno and it was raining that day. So we had to push it back.
