It makes 20psi but only 630 hp. They're going to check tomorrow to see if there might be an exhaust restriction somewhere.

That should be easy to check. Drop the y-pipe and put it on the dyno with basically open headers.

That's what I'm asking them to do.

What about clutch slip, or would the dyno sheet reflect that? Here's the dyno sheet. The blue line is the blower that's currently on there, the red line is before it was modified?

The graph looks too good for clutch slip. When a clutch slips on the dyno you get react readings.

I was just doing some reading on that and they were saying you won't always get it by just looking at power and torque curves. You really need to calculate speed and gear ratio to be sure.

But, I sent an email to Seb asking him what he thinks. As you can tell, I'm really grasping at straws now

When I had the new blower installed, I had a prototype belt tensioner set up installed on the top side of the blower belt. I also have the stock lower tensioner set up on it. I wonder if with both tensioners on there, it might be putting too much load (drag) on the motor?

Though you’re in Cali; may have to either get some nice headers & HFC’z....Z1’s Shorty, FI’ Long Tube or PPE’s Long Tube

Where’s I lives at, heck....you could bout roll without mufflers at all & certainly without cat’s

I haven’t measured the tubing on the oem header, but they aren’t very large

Now on a Turbo engine, the turbocharger creates it’s on restriction/back pressure....so you can exhaust out the hood,fender or flow out the rear w/3” or larger

Heck, as close as you are to Seb....you can go catless & then install for your yearly inspection...then remove afterwards

T-100 ~ Discount I got on new torque wrench yesterday

jchammond · 01-08-2021, 04:26 AM

Accuracy is very good on this type & has multiple different ways to alert you of approaching & reaching torque

Gonna take my click type back to work, as.....well you know my hearing situation
