Actually, the twin turbo setup has more hp and substantially more torque. No surprise though, as intercooled 6psi should.

Anyone have one of these? They're just up the road from us in San Antonio.

I agree that car is a blast to drive. I dont think we have any 0-60 or 1/4 mile times but the supercharged 2.5 will run faster than a STOCK 3.2.

We use a centrifugal blower in our kit, running about 4psi of boost. This provides a very linear curve, and picks up about 85-90hp to the rear wheels.
87.5 whp gain + 150 whp base = 237.5 whp. power gain = 58.3%

4 psi boost is 4/14.7 = 27.2% increase.

QUESTION:
can someone please explain how can you get almost 60% increase in whp with only 27.2% increase in air pressure?

Major

How are the problems inherent to boosting already high c/r engines addressed - just curious. I'm a bit of a forced induction nut and I'm looking at an '02 "S" right now. . . Just trying to see what options there are.
