I remember reading this somewhere but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The topic of the efficiency of the blower came up somewhere and the fact that the Hellcat blower takes about 80 horsepower just to run. Then somebody mentioned the LT4 blower uses about 140 horsepower to run. So switching to a more efficient blower that uses less power to run, will result in more power to the wheels at the same boost level? Let's say you swapped blowers on your car and kept the same boost level, would that combat the heat soak as well as bump the power to like, 700 rwhp or so?
