Not what I'm looking for. Blower seems too small for the displacement and it seems overpriced. I'll continue to wait for Magnacharger or some kind of turbo kit to come out. It would be interesting to see a dyno sheet.

I dunno, I just assumed... how they would measure flywheel HP, unless it's calculated? These motors are putting down around 325 to the tires bone stock. I would hope that's rwHp it's already a pretty stong motor. 147rwHp would be less than a 50% gain isn't that par for the course @ 7-8psi?

makes sense to me then. a 50% gain with about 50% more air is right on par
