Who has a ported 1.7 blower only in a full weight Gen6 that ran 9.4?
Not sure where you are drawing your comparisons from but I have stock heads/stock cubes, swaybar, small-ish crank pulley (we dont like excessive crank stress), etc. Kaizenspeed has installed numerous blowers so the data I speak from is real world. Our Whipple build has all the supporting parts and I can tell you the 2.9 vs the 2.3 are very similar. No bashing as both units have their strong points.
Also for Ed, the Redline EForce 2650 build did use meth. Lingenfelter did a one off dyno run on "93 octane" that made 840whp on their build with ported heads, big cam, etc etc. However, again, thats just dyno numbers. That's why I like to see track times and actual IAT data. You can get anything to survive a dyno pull and IAT's won't really be effected too much. Real world conditions though... Either way I wish you the best and it doesn't sound like you will be pushing it too far so I am sure you will be fine.
Not bashing builds just trying to keep it fact based. Meth isn't required for cooling. In fact the base IAT's on a PD blower are only going to change about 10 degrees or so (again actual testing data). Meth will add octane and it will also help with preventing heat soak. Back to back to back to back runs were achievable with the meth.

If someone runs a 2300r 416 stroker on ignite 114 race fuel, a crank pulley so big that you have to remove the swaybar, meth injection, and ported heads it’s clearly gonna be faster than another car with stock throttle body, cubes, heads, no meth or race fuel etc. The only way you could know one was better would be if you ran the same setup with a different type of blower and used the same supporting cast. Really once you get to 1000+ horsepower blowers so many other factors go into making a car perform. Your part of a small group if your pushing these blowers to their max potential. Maybe your the only one pushing that hard. I feel like if a ported 1.7 blower can make 750+ rwhp and run 9.4 @ 144 then clearly there’s enough potential in all the aftermarket blowers to make more steam than the drivetrain could ever handle. All the time I see the E-Force, Whipple, Procharger, and LT4 bashing by the Magnacharger guys but really is their any point in telling someone not to go that route when the average person could never afford to utilize the few ponies one system could make over another? Should a person pay a lot more for a Magnacharger when these other systems can squeeze out a 1000 horsepower for less and theoretically run cooler?
