I can add at least 250 more, but at 0 ft. I can only add say 100. I just don't see a maggie or eddie doing that. Nor can I see E85 doing that. I'm not sure about Meth but I'm sure N2O would do it.
My shop suggested removing the aero too. |
Yes, but spinning a supercharger isn’t free, it takes power. So it’s 1400 minus drivetrain loss AND parasitic loss, to get the safe estimate for WHP. The problem is, not knowing how much power the blower is eating up. The harder you spin it and the higher boost gets, the harder it is to turn.
It’s hard to say how much more you can make with your specific combo because there are many factors, but Maggie’s have been proven to make well over 1300 WHP. Not in 8k DA, but ~1500 DA, or close to the air your corrected numbers are based on.
