<font color='#000080'>ok how can they claim 617rwhp from just a blower and CAI install? if they are talking about at 22psi, who the hell is going to push 22psi of hot air thru their new $35,000 cars engine without an intercooler? doesnt make sense to me...

<font color='#000080'>im sure dealers would frown upon replacing one of these as well :

<font color='#000080'>there was a guy in spartanburg the other night w/a white 03 cobra. he was claiming he had 550 whp w/just a smaller blower pulley and an exhaust. right....</font>

<font color='#000080'>rob has a video of him running a 12 something missing 3rd and then like an 8 something.
even at a hefty 3600lbs. bottom line 550rwhp would be around 7.0 at 100mph...</font>

<font color='#000080'>he did say he ran a 7 flat</font>

<font color='#000080'>that moron with the white 03 cant drive it. &nbsp;

if hes really pushing that much HP, then we should start guessing when hes gonna wreck it.</font>

<font color='#000080'>nah his previous cobra had around 500 horsepower as well. &nbsp;i think he was just getting used to the t-56 when he missed 3rd.</font>

<font color='#000000'>the stock car has an intercooler already, and they reuse it

dont forget that that 617rwhp is through STOCK EXAUST, which is a pretty f'n donkey ass exaust. &nbsp;guys stock are gaining on the oder of 20-25rwhp on the stone stock cars <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> nevermind 22psi from a larger capacity blower <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

they measured backpressure at 30psi, ideal backpressure with that setup is ~5psi backpressure <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'></font>

<font color='#000000'>550 is about the limit of the stock blower, and any moron can toss on a few parts and achieve it <img src="http://www.illstreet.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

the motor's stupid overbuilt, the only thing holding it back is the stock blower (kind of like stock turbos on say, a supra, RX-7, etc)</font>

<font color='#000080'>hmm...
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">try another Kenne Bell approach. Cut off the entire exhaust in back of the catalytic converter and compare the runs on the dyno. You should also measure back pressure. If there is a gain, then you have to design - or find an exhaust system that can flow as much air as no exhaust system. As we've mentioned previously, there's not much HP left in the new vehicles, particularly the Fords, Chevies, Dodge 4.7, Jeep 3.7 and PT Cruiser. That's exactly why supercharging has become so popular - the HP is guaranteed. </td></tr></table></font>
