Do any of you supercharger guys have video of your backpressure gauge while you're in the throttle? I'd be curious to see how its responding.

Funny, I still haven't seen any pressure rise at all from my 402 on ~8lbs with 1 5/8" headers and dual 3" back to a single 4" with a big muffler. Maybe I pinched the line to the gauge...

Put it upstream of the collector and see what happens.

I checked mine in the collector and in the mid pipes. Both were same size, readings were the same. At that time mine was restricted after mid pipes.

Most recent test I did in the collector (fwd 02 bung) and it was 0-.5

The needle bounces. With 1 5/8 primary what size are your collectors?

At the end of the day it's about what back pressure your exhaust valve sees anyway.
