Having a baseline is all that matters. They all read differently.

Run on the same dyno before and after mods to measure the actual gain.

Patience.

Still working through some things with this pump. Not going to release it until it's 100% right. It will be worth the wait.

The purpose of the foam is to dampen the noise of the injectors and HPFP.

You can remove it if you want.

All aftermarket PD style superchargers require removal of the foam.
