**EDIT -- IMG made 785 WHP/528 WTQ with his low compression ESS VT3 setup after it was paired with the ARH headers/exhaust system and some head port/polishing
Meanwhile, Gintani has now shown that with a twin turbo setup, you can get 700 WHP and nearly 500 WTQ on a stock motor. While the Gintani turbo system is more expensive then the established supercharger options, it balances out when you factor in the cost of building a low compression motor to achieve that power with a supercharger. Furthermore, the turbo system will put less stress on the rotating assembly (i.e., reduced wear on engine bearings) than a supercharged setup (which applies lots of stress on the crank because of the belt system). Plus, if someone could overlay the curves, I'm sure there's a considerable difference in the area under the curve. |
Remember they arent using e85 and also havent even turned boost up all the way....Lets first see how long the stock motor holds up because it will only be so long before the rod snaps.
Everyone talks about the area under the curve but what use is it if you cant get the power to the ground correct with the SC setup?
