Spoke with Jackson Jr. at their booth; about 280hp on a hub dyno. They had a graph on the table, didn't get a pic though. Car is otherwise stock. Very nice looking kit.

Are Hub dynos known to read 'high' (or low) compared to others?

Was he talking WHP or HP numbers? 280 WHP is a pretty strong showing, especially compared to the HKS unit, with is also Rotrex based. 280 engine hp puts it in line with all the other supercharger kits.

I feel like this kit will yeild similar gains to the HKS kit with the restricter removed. I would even go out on a limb to say the dyno curve will look very close. Looks like they are pretty close design wise. I would like to see the spec on this unit vs the HKS.

I'm not exactly sure. I'd agree crank is more likely. Will have to wait till they post the details.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a monstrosity? But damn 280 beats the innovative by a bit.

My guess is they are using a C30-74 Rotorex supercharger since they use that for all of their other kits.
http://www.alfaclub.pl/Rotrex%20C30.pdf 280whp sounds about right... the questions I have are what fuel did they tune on (tired of seeing e85 tunes, need real-world pump gas maps), and what supporting mods was the tune done on (exhaust parts, fuel pump/injector upgrades). |
