Easy fix is to change a pulley to make up for the loss in ambient pressure and your boost will be back, but then you’ll be adding heat by spinning it quicker.

So by that math, I should be at roughly 590-600 crank still?
Not too bad then. I'm coming from a 392 challenger. Last time I was up here it was an absolute dog...don't get me wrong...it sounded great, but I definitely felt a big loss.
So far the ZL1 still feels much quicker than what the 392 was even in indiana.
