Default Re: Intercooled Magnacharger installed

Talked to technition who was watching my Tahoe being dynoed.He said that during the dyno run the K&N filter that I had retained from my cold air system was almost completely collapsed by the supercharger.I wonder if that cost me any hp.I'm going to look into modifing my stock airbox and using the K&N replacement filter that I received with the Magnacharger kit.Does anyone have any suggestions?

If the filter was being sucked in you were losing some hp. Your numbers are good but I think you'll see some more horsepower from this kit.

I paid under $4850 for Magnacharger kit before they were released and $644 for install.

Just wondering if you still have the underdrive pulley on. I would expect more than 90 rwhp, not that it is horrible, but for $5000 I would expect more. Still 358 rwhp is very nice! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think problem was collapsed airfilter.I'm modifing the stock airbox and using a K&N replacement filter.I hope that fixes the problem the motor was only at 5100rpm showing 358hp.I think when I redyno I'll see better results accross the entire rpm range.
