OK so a quick question that has probably been answered but I'd like to hear what you guys say. What is the maximum amount of power one can get out of a fa20 with this kit before hitting diminishing returns? I guess this is more directed at Matt

Matt talked about it briefly (he's very secretive lol) a few pages back. Basically Cosworth determined that 280-290 hp (at the crank) is the recommended output for a stock engine. BUT, if you've read any other threads in the FI section, you will quickly find out that that is not always the case. Some people can go much higher than that, while others blow the motor on a CARB-tuned engine. Of course, Cosworth has done a megaton of research so that's why I feel pretty confident with them.

The supercharger itself is good for about 380 hp. But that would require a built motor and a specialized pulley set which Cosworth will hopefully release.
