An (under)driven SC like the 335 will be delivering 14 psi at lower revs, and it will be nowhere near it's peak output. So the only heat gain there will be mostly just from compression. So 14 psi with 30-40 deg lower IAT will have quite a bit more power. Then figure the SC will have about 10% drag loss, 400 twin screw HP is more like 440 turbo HP, maybe more. You get the idea. I think the question is whether the motor will sustain 14 psi at lower revs even with retarded timing or e85. Just might be too much boost for the OEM rods. But maybe not...if it can be done we will do it. Hopefully without a frisbee sized pulley though.

I asked about this. If you want to reign in the blower to levels safe for stock internals, the pulley is so big that it doesn't safely clear the hood.
