Seems like your results are spot on.

Remember, this is why absolute numbers have zero meaning. % gain is what matters.

Anyone can flex a high WHP number on a generously reading or altered dyno, and folks frequently do.


It's no different from 700whp MKIV supra owners getting sour when they lose to 500whp MKV supras. Does the number really matter when you're going faster?
Don't get me wrong the car feels good and its so much more fun now, and I doubt 20 more Hp will make my laps times any better at my current level of track experience anyway.

The size of the number is unimportant, I was more concerned that there might be something wrong with my install/tune/rotrex. It was mainly the torque that I thought was a bit low.

Maybe I am just being paranoid, first time I have supercharged anything.

Very tempted to just get the HBP and push for a bit more...
