See Ethanol likes heat and the supercharger can produce much higher air temps without needing to pull timing. You don't need to spend a bunch of money on ice tanks what not. Ethanol likes heat. Combine that with the latest port programs and the stock blower does very well. It's been proven and plenty of data out there supports it.

Not trying to knock what you chose to do with your car. The 2650 is a beast you simply are not using anywhere close to it's potential. But I can see why you chose to go with it. For pump gas only the added cooling will be beneficial.

I am not biased in the slightest. I like all setups and there are definitely more ways then 1 to skin a cat.



Keep in mind you wouldn't make anymore power with a 2650 sitting on top at the same boost level. So I am not sure how you think this is lacking for what it is. First off it's a Mustang Dyno. This car made 660whp on old setup on this Dyno. The car trapped 135 in the 1/4. I seen someone else put a Maggie 2650 on their ZL1 with no other mods it made 700whp, but only trapped 130. So Dyno numbers don't mean squat without a baseline. If the car you cited makes 825whp then it's right on point from what it made prior and will likely be a 145-147mph car in the 1/4 in decent air. Seems pretty good to me.

A genuine question here- would you have put an LT4 x-port on your car instead of the Whipple if you did it today?
