A very Vortech savy member on my350z estimated he was losing an additional 10-15% to the supercharger at 17 psi. If correct, that would push the Ti's potential whp down to 600-700. Have you checked into the calculated losses when pushing the psi limits of these head units?
Yes, I have considered the parasitic loss ... it is inherent with superchargers.
That's where Tubo's have the advantage in efficiency.
According to Bobby at CINmotorsport, bottom line with all factors being considered, the T-2Ti's are good for that 600-700 hp number, so, at least on paper, I'm good to go.
I'd be happy with anything close to 600 for now.
Time will tell.
Just need to keep the belts on the pulleys @ 15-16 psi.
Thanks for turning me on to the blower bracket brace you had made by Jtrans.

I really appreciate all of this input - and now I'm really really hoping I've made the right decision!

Who knows, I may have to upgrade again if 600 doesn't quite do it....
