Thanks Greg! Yeah. Best run was 955 WHP after Kong porting with the 2.9. And that sucker was maxed out…it would take a 6 gallon batch of ice water and make it hot in one pass! IATs would climb 20+ degrees during a run even with the ice tank. Now at 1059 WHP with the 3.0 and I could do 3-4 runs on the ice tank and still not be hot. The efficiency and cooling improvements are unbelievable. So I gained 104 WHP on the same dyno using the same pulley combo. Tough to beat that.

Nice Josh! Do any pulls with the smooth boost dialed down? Curious what you would see at the lowest setting. I’m at 650 now and no way am I going for more without a simple way to dial it down so I don’t blow the tires off trying to pass someone at 55mph. lol

Hope that helps. I LOVE the Smoothboost. Hopefully I’ll be able to do boost by gear with it at some point down the road too.

That's cool to have the boost controller, its just kinda expensive, my 707 is hard to control below 60 mph even on drag radials and my old Camaro at 850 was pretty dangerous. I'm actually just running my larger pulley on the street which is 677 rwhp and its still plenty fun and only 9.2 psi of boost, so very safe.

The smooth boost seems pretty cool. The only issue I see with having an aggressive pulley combination and the smooth boost is you are just capping off the amount of peak boost. The tq is still going to come in very early and aggressive on the hit like a light switch vs using larger pulleys to slow down how fast the supercharger ramps up.

Saw an interesting comment today from a Whipple employee on LSX Magazine. Looks like the days of 18K max blower RPM for Whipple blowers in cars is gone with the new rotor pack thankfully. Good to know I can dial this bad boy up once I get some more fuel.
“For the supercharger, we go by maximum supercharger input RPM to set a safe limit for those reaching for the sky. For our superchargers, 18,000 input RPM is max for sustained usage such as in a marine application where WOT can be for minutes at a time. In automotive racing applications, they can tolerate up to 22-24k for short bursts. To calculate blower input RPM, you divide the driven crank pulley diameter by the supercharger pulley diameter, then multiply that value by your peak engine speed. An example of this would be: (8.00/3.25)*7,500 = 18,462 input rpm,” Purciello says.

I don’t think so since in a 5/3 rotor pack 18,000 RPM on the 5 rotor is 30,000 RPM on the 3 rotor (which is vaporized bearing dust at that level in sustained operation lol). With the 4/3 rotor pack, the small rotor is now 24,000 RPM which is sustainable within reason and can survive a short burst over that.
