I'm just splitting hairs on semantics, so I'd imagine they're still very high numbers.
My numbers are based on stock. If we're 416 base: 416 x 1.4 = 582.

Am I confusing "at the crank"?

Heck, even if we avg ~350whp, a 40% increase puts down 490whp!

Splat, what were your last dyno #'s before the supercharger project began?

Lets please stop updating this thread with uselles "What-if scenarios" and "Debbie Downer comments."

The man will speak when the time comes. This is all voluntary on his part to the community. I say give him some time to tune the thing. Force induction isn't bolt-on. Troubleshooting and tuning comes next and sometimes it can take as long as the install depending on the type of gremlin.

tqui, please exit this thread until after Splat posts his results (couple pages of off topic, back-and-forth arguing posts from this afternoon removed).

wow, i missed an interesting afternoon!

I was just spitting numbers based on Splat's response above. Not trying to start a wild fire. Just a discussion based on the mathematics.

How about we all just wait and be patient...stop "guessing" what numbers the car is going to put down, and appreciate all of splat's hard work on this. I know that i'll be impressed when he does in fact get the numbers posted.

Heck, splat, you might as well create a brand new thread on this when it's ready...but keep it up!

I don't think it needs to be closed. This is like a running blog of the trials and tribulations that it's taken to get to the endstate. Some questions I'll answer some I won't due to respect for the builder and their wishes.

I imagine the builder will offer this for sale when all is said and done? This could be the only reason why some of the questions asked have not been answered? Which is cool by me. I understand 100%

I drove it home from Minneapolis - Milwaukee - Atlanta - Miami in two days. Car drives like a champ but has a few gremlins to get worked out quick. Getting the updated exhaust from ISSForged and then the car will be back at elite to get finished. The manifold that is on now is a prototype but it works and they have the kit one ready to go in the cnc machine that is supposed to be getting done this week.

Also been home for about two weeks now and daily drive the car with no issues.
