Too much boost..No added power?

From the first post it looks like IATs got up to 135 after some hard running. For 16psi and 70-80 degree ambient temps that is really good for this type of blower. While it hasn't been posted and I'm just guessing I would say IATs didn't go up more than 30-40 degrees from the 11psi run. 5psi more should more than make up for that increase in IATs from 11-16psi. I would think....
I agree that leaning it out isn't going to recover much power. 5psi on my truck made a huge difference.
Good luck

Isn't this the norm for that type of supercharger in that boost level? Not efficient at those boost levels and can't remove enough heat with the little intercooler. Running colder water through the intercooler will only help a tiny bit, the real problem is those little intercoolers don't transfer that much heat out of the charge air. This is one major advantage for centrifugal superchargers and turbos where you can run a huge 90+% efficient intercooler. Plus the fact that it takes 30-40 more hp to spin the supercharger than it use to at 11psi.

I'm running more boost with lower IAT's so you might want to look at a larger heat exchanger.
Did the airflow increase result in you running lower timing? The additional boost (cyl airflow) could have moved your timing into cells that have lower timing values.
