Hi,
awesome car. Awesome tuning. It is interesting to hear that engine internals seems to handle the gain well. How many miles you did with it? You have automatic transmission right? If so it would be 8L45, how does this handle the extra torque? I thought going from naturally aspirated to turbo you move the torque curve to low RPM and that's always problem for clutch or transmission. Thanks |

Your peak numbers are good, but something that no one pointed out is how steep the hp curve is. A steep hp curve means the average hp throughout the higher rpm rev range used in a race is lower compared to a fairly flat curve in an SS, and thus, overall acceleration will be slower. Notice that at 4800 rpm your car is making only 275 rwhp, while a Camaro SS at 4800 rpm makes about 340 rwhp. At 5000 rpm an SS makes about 360 rwhp while your engine is making at most 300 rwhp, but likely more like 290-295 rwhp based on your curve. An SS makes about the same amount of power at 5500 as it does at 6000 rpm (around 390-400 rwhp) but even though the peak number is lower, would likely have a higher average hp over the rev range than your engine's very steep curve. What this means is that an SS will likely accelerate quicker than your procharged V6 since it has a flatter high rpm hp curve and thus, higher average hp. This flat high hp curve is also why the Ford 5.0 Coyote V8 paired with an A10 transmission runs so darn well. That engine breathes well up top and paired with a close ratio transmissions, pulls hard up top really consistently.

Yes, we can upgrade our V6s to the point that they will compete, of even smoke a stock V8, but it comes at a very steep price, especially if you plan on retaining any of the stock reliability. As far as the 4 banger Hondas, I have a good friend who ran a 9.0 in his boosted B16 civic, 10+ years ago. He was also into it probably double what I'm into my V6, and was stuck with a purpose built drag car, which was worth nothing anywhere other than the drag strip. There is always give and take, when it comes to pushing performance. |

That's really good.
I bought the edelbrock supercharger kit and after I got a smaller pully for more boost, and got catless downpipes I'm only sitting at 383RWHP.(Also only a 4th gear pull, in 5th/6th it'd be higher) Now supposedly that's on a very safe daily driving tune so maybe I could break 400WHP. But they don't want to break my car, and my dyno is apparently a "heartbreaker dyno" So apparently I'm making more HP than I know. I can race and beat 5.0 mustangs so you'd be in a similar territory. It's good to see other people supercharging their V6's. My next quest is getting a cam kit for it, but as far as I can tell, nothing exists. Literally nothing. No one has spent the money on R&D to make it. |
