Murf928 Stage 3 SuperShark is alive!

Tim,
Great news on the new kit! With Safety and Reliability being such big concerns with these ventures, I for one appreciate all the testing and development you've done. Of course we love the power! As I'm sure it is with all the different SC kits out there - it just feels right having this kind of power in the 928. Do I want more = Yes! Do I have enough now = most likely, but the desire for more is always there...
Sooooo, what's involved in the upgrade for us Stage II owners - injectors, new Vortech pulley, chips? Any idea on the cost?
Thanks,
Pete Whelan

I agree with Hacker. I don't need anything special, just a smaller pulley and some tuning... oh and probably 42# injectors. Also let's not forget that the TS is a bit more efficient CS , so I should be able to achieve 500RWHP at or slightly below 10psi. I've already talked to DR about achieving this goal.

Andrew
I thought TS was slightly LESS efficient than a CS....only about 10% though.... Something like this: 50% roots, 65% TS & 75% CS.....???

Brian-
I made 441RWHP at about 8psi. That roughly 20RWHP/psi. (I'm using 15% loss)
Murph achieved 511RWHP at about 12psi. Using 18% loss, that's an improvement of 214 RWHP or roughly 18RWHP/psi.
That means the TS is about 10% more efficient in this real world case. However, in reality, it's not that big of a difference... just a different path to the same destination!

I think the GT gets a better HP per PSI of boost gain then the S4 with the same system. I remember Andy telling me that his S4 systems made 15HP per PSI and the same system on a GT making 20-25 HP per PSI of boost.

That'd be 141 increase @ 8psi for 17.6/psi and 246 increase @ 12psi for 20.5/psi --> Murph's is more efficient
Looking forward to your results after tuning though and a comparison with the shape of your <TS> power curve
Congratulations Murph !!
