This thread was started to talk about stock blower IATs and yet it never fails in every thread, you had to inject something about an Elite Catch Can when nothing about this thread had anything to do with catch cans. Really? You don't consider a plug about Elite catch cans to be a shill move?
My other issue is that, you always post shit on anyone that decides to do anything with the stock blower and try to force a Maggie 2650R down their throat. I can at least accept it in this thread to some degree since you started this thread about the stock blower IATs so at least the topic at hand relates to the stock blower. In general though, I have a problem with you trying to always talk people out of doing anything with the stock blower. I think most people know the Maggie 2650R is a better blower, literally no one disputes that from a pure performance standpoint, but there's a point where it makes sense to own one, and there's a point where it doesn't and cost is a big factor.
When it costs almost $7K for a 2650R, that's a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people unless you really need a blower than can support upwards of 800hp. I get that its more efficient at cooling but not everyone will need that too. If you're hot lapping at a drag strip or road racing it may have some benefit. You make a reference that these cars have power levels that vary on the dyno, I assume because you're implying that they heat soak. No one races on a dyno, its a tuning tool. A fan on a dyno doesn't cool the car nearly as good as a car that's actually moving so a lot of the heat soak you're talking about isn't happening as bad on the street or the track. There's also good options for improved cooling such as upgraded heat exchangers. Sure I get that the cooling bricks in the stock blower aren't as good as the 2650R, but that doesn't mean that improved heat exchangers don't help a good bit as long as the car is moving between pulls. A KONG ported blower and snout costs about $1300 and its worth about 30-40whp, that's a pretty decent gain for such a small investment. For someone that is going full bolt-on without going into the engine, 700whp is about the max power these cars will make without meth or additional fueling and that's more than enough power for MOST people. It doesn't make sense to add a Maggie 2650R for this level of power so a stock ported blower has its place and its reasonably priced.
No one is telling you how to spend your money, but you sure like to tell people how to spend theirs and I have issues with you trying to make people feel stupid for even considering anything other than what you recommend.
