[QUOTE="86merc, post: 13126862, member: 82554"] For years people have been spinning centrifugal blowers over their advertised max impeller speeds. Still making more power than staying below that speed. Not uncommon for Paxton, Vortech or Procharger blowers to make great power above those "max" speeds. People get hung up on boost numbers just like they do with dyno numbers. The boost number you see on a guage is just a measurement of back pressure from a signal in the intake. Different gauges may read slightly different. But that number doesn't mean much. It is all about air flow. How much air is getting into the cylinders. Procharger rates the P-1sc-1 a 825 crank hp based on air flow. Could it flow more air and make more power than what they rate it at? I have no real world experience with them but I would not be surprised if they could. It maybe out of the blower's max efficiency range but it may still be able to make more power. Does any of this really matter as long as the OP is happy with the tune and results? Well I guess to some it does. haha I like to deal in data and facts. The only fact is the dyno spit out a graph with a number on it. When I have been at the drag strip or at a street light I have never seen a dyno pull up next to me. So I am not worried what a car makes on the dyno. Get the power to the pavement and lets see how it tuns out. :rockon: OP, congrats and I can't wait to see the results from the track outing. Hopefully every thing goes well. [/QUOTE]
