I've heard this valve springs thing before - from someone that built their engine. @CSG Mike what's your reference point? You guys popped two blocks, but where are you coming from in saying the valve springs are scary, nomsayin'?

Those with 240 wbhp wish they had more, like closer to 300 wbhp?

So wait, ESC torque curves look pretty damn flat after 2500rpm. My concern used to be the battery recharge. Educate me, what am I missing? I'm as skeptical about supercharger torque curve as anyone, and I'm especially skeptical of the ESC, but I don't understand why the graphs and the commentary differs. I need to learn more! (Also, I can dig the pick a gear argument. I like that idea too -- maybe I've just been thinking about my ideal boost the wrong way) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know that that is the best way to replicate a single lap of a track no matter how good the dyno fans are. I am willing to bet a supercharger will lose power in that situation as well.

Remember, SC's don't have a turbo's hotside that's radiating heat everywhere, even with coatings and blankets. |

True, but compressing air still generates heat regardless of how it is accomplished hence the oil feed system on that kit.

Mike we would have given you the information about the springs as we have posted about the poor spring which are in the FA20. We found they have an install pressure of 35 lbs and at .005 lift it was 55 lbs. The rocker designs in similar to the 2AZ motor. However we have some advantages over the 2AZ uses a hydraulic lifter and the rocker arm has a slightly smaller pocket for the valve lash cap and lifter. The FA20 uses a solid lifter and the rocker that has a touch deeper slotting. We meet with Papadakis Racing last week and compared the 2AZ stock part, their upgraded 2AZ kit and the FA20 parts. At this time the best solution to control the rocker is to upgrade the springs as we have already done. |

Got it. I mentally merged your comment with Victor's. Victor saying that ESC wasn't going to be linear and then you talking about supercharger curves confused me. Shoulda quoted Victor in my question. My primary concern still remains charge. The graphs are pretty dreamy. Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
