Now I know that turbo’s make more torque then super charger but damn that seems like a low amount of torque for 12.5 psi of boost. Why is the torque so low?

Re: Forced Induction...an intelligent debate
hmmm...sounds kinda underrated to me. GM is kinda known for that kind of stuff *cough* LS1 *cough*....
but it sounds like its got potential to me....low compression with good rods, pistons and crank with 4valves per cyl....i better blower or turbo and that thing would wake up...
also, the blower is a m62 eaton roots style...kind of a small blower. that might be why the boost # is high, but the output isnt....just a thought

Re: Forced Induction...an intelligent debate
its a 4 cyl hehe..
seems about right really.. i mean, dsm's are usually around 11-14 psi stock and would probably pull similar numbers..
*EDIT:how did the tq. curve look though?

Re: Forced Induction...an intelligent debate
damn.. doesnt the 03 cobra have some type of intercooler underneath the blower?
thought maybe it could have a setup like this.. but 12 psi and no intercooler, eck, wonder how much it could be pushed like this?
