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.
This. The further you get outside of the blower’s efficiency “sweet spot”, the worse the air temps get and the more wasted energy you get. Depending on where your blower is operating, you might be better off finding ways to get the engine airflow up at a lower boost number…. The blower might be much happier there. (Jason, that comment was for JSH not you lol…you should teach a class on this stuff haha).
