Do you ever find yourself saying:
"how much power will this add?"
"how much boost should I run?"
I find this equation handy:
[(boost / 14.7) +1] x base HP
best to add rear wheel HP because it accounts for your drive train loss.
plug in base HP and boost - this is very close to what your power will be.
Other factors to keep in mind:
posative displacement or roots type blower will give you a longer torque curve.
Centifical gains are more on the top (obviously)
Turbo's are a little different because they don't take power off the crank to operate.
Hope you guys find this info helpfull. ;D
