....furthermore it’s typically not the HP value that destroys the motors it’s the torque getting beyond about 500wtq that blows the connecting rods through the block. It’s like an unwanted axe throwing contest inside your engine, you’re just waiting to see which one of 6 punches a hole first. 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
