I'm only making like 4-5 PSI at 4500 RPM. Maybe I should run a tiny pulley with a wastegate instead. Probably cheaper than a pumpkin anyway.

No E85 within 100 miles and I want this to be a street car 😩 I could risk it for the biscuit with my meth kit though...

I just feel like it wouldn't make a big enough difference over the 3.73. I'll calculate the top speeds per gear with that ratio and see what it looks like.

285/35/19 🤷‍♂️ I've go the MT82-D4

Only go with 100 if you're running into octane limitations. 50/50 is safer and has better cooling capacity. Methanol flames are invisible in broad daylight. Race car drivers have been caught up in methanol fires and nobody even could tell they needed help until they started screaming and...

Alright boys, I've got a centrifugal supercharger, MT82, with the 3.73 rear axle ratio. With my wheel and tire setup, redline for these gears is at: 1st: 52mph 2nd: 79mph 3rd: 117mph 4th: 167mph And I've got an issue when it comes to highway pulls in Mexico starting from 60-70mph. If I...

Had NT555RIIs, lots better than stock but still couldn't hook below 30 except on a hot summer day. 🤷‍♂️

That's fair enough. Just wondering if there's something that makes Procharger better (maybe just their proven track record)? For me, driving a manual 600+ torque PD blown car on the street was a total buzzkill. No street legal tire in the world will hook on an shitty road surface with that...

Genuine question - why would Procharger have been the better choice?

100% this. Power delivery is just like NA, but with a whole lot more of it.

+1 my tune and experience with Wengerd has been awesome

Yeah but I haven't done IAT sensor relocation yet, meth is injected after the temps are measured still.

Yeah I may have been wrong with that one because my car is really just a street menace and I don't spend any time on the track/strip. But after long a long pull from 30-130 I can look down at my gauge cluster and still see temps still only a bit above ambient. It's mostly CHTs that rise on...

The power delivery of a centri is a lot like an NA motor, just on steroids. It drives similar to stock in the low end, then really gives you the beans when you decide to open it up. They give you power predictably without lag (unlike a turbo), just downshift and go. And they don't create...

Sorry, normally I'm fine with just letting dudes be wrong and going on with my life. But it's another thing entirely to be wrong and calling people idiots in the same breath like Angrey has been doing in here.

Nope, your entire premise is off because acceleration is relative. Consider an object in space, which will accelerate at a fixed rate with a fixed amount of thrust, no matter how fast it is going. Engines make lower torque at higher RPM not because it is "harder" to make it faster spinning...

Please do let it be your last post then. The force with which the engine turns the crankshaft and the rate at which it does that both matter equally. The engine accelerates the car by converting fuel into mechanical energy, and the faster it is rotating, the faster it can do that.

P = Fv is only in the case where a constant force is moving an object at a constant velocity. We are talking about acceleration. If torque was the only factor in acceleration, then we wouldn't be measuring horsepower at all. If RPM was "baked in" to torque measurements, then how does the...

This document literally says "power, force times velocity" which is flat out wrong. Power is force over time. If I made a PowerPoint with fancy equations, would you take my word as gospel?

Newton figured this out over 300 years ago. Torque is a force. Power is force over time. Acceleration comes from power (work). The dyno measures difference in barrel RPM over a fixed window of time to calculate the force required to achieve that speed delta for that known window of time...
