Hello, new here to Lextreme. A few FI questions.

[FoPar]

If car weighs 4000lbs n makes 400hp at engine good for 111-112mph, 400rwhp is roughly 500hp engine, then u should run 120mph

Yup agree.....you are still up against it though. Rough numbers, 0.5 bar is a 50% increase in mass airflow (if the system is 100% eff which we know it's not), so at the very best theoretically possible we get 375rwhp...it takes roughly 50hp to drive the SC so straight away without even considering eff losses we are around 325rwhp max...which is about where i would expect power to be and with the great torque the SC provides will still result in a very quick SC.

more boost = more powahz = more risk on the stock rods

enough guessing though, let's see the thing in action

i should have quoted...my comments follows jBrady, not FoPar

It's installed! However, still not tuned yet; I'm running directly off the stock ECU so I'm very rich right now. Starts, idles and revs great. I have been driving it around town under3k rpms just to not have it sit. My FIC-8 is with AEM getting inspected now as I think there may be something wrong with it.

Check out this video and here is a pic!

One more shot of the car.

.....I thought you had the new SRT kit not the old one

Sweet!

I would look to block that heated air off the radiator from going into the air cleaner/blower inlet. Feed it cold air and you have that much less heat load to deal with.
