No I don't, and I don't plan on dynoing it either, whatever it is, it runs strong and it's enough for me.
I would estimate at least 375hp under 8 pounds of boost..........:rolleyes:
 
Lot of work and $$$... Not criticism, concern... isn't that very hot air she's breathing with that air filter location??

rumor has it a H.A.I. improves mpgs...

wouldn't it be better if you put a IC on it for lil bit more power?

Thinking off playing with the angle of the inlet pipe, both lower headlights are removed and have mesh screens that ram air at speed to cool the engine bay, also the whole area under the gigantic scoop is cutout and blows plenty of fresh air in also

Thanks for the idea and comment, I talked to Torqstorm about that, they say it doesn't heat the charge like a turbo or roots type supercharger, they said even meth injection wasn't really necessary, and it's even compatible with 10:1 compression, the aluminum heads do help sink some heat as far as detonation goes,this a street SC, it'll do 8psi and add about 150-200 hp, for the price and the quality, as well as the "eye candy" i recommend it, unless your super serious about taking out some heavy hitters, face it, these C's ain't light, it would take SERIOUS HP to make then fly.
