That's what I was saying to myself after I read it! 30psi should have them right around 1500hp. Pretty damn awesome for a stock bottom end engine that's really only ment for maybe 400hp

For real though, what took everybody so long to realize the power these things can make with a turbo and 15 psi? I wish I would've known sooner lol

So basically when I eventually supercharge my 265K 5.3l LM7 I won't have any problems putting 6-8lbs to it.....sweet!!! (not looking to break any HP records just for some fun).
