12psi on the stock motor isn't the greatest idea, and overall HP isn't what I'm looking for - it is the TORQUE that I want. Turbo kits like AVO's 5psi offering on standard 91 octane (most of us have 92 around) and zero fuel system mods puts out 230whp/197tq - which is more torque and close to your HP figure after you converted to e85, new injectors, new fuel pump, and a smaller pulley. FA20Club's kit nets even more on 5psi. 286whp/210tq.


The bottom line is there are more cost effective, scalable, and more efficient options out there. Supercharger on this motor doesn't appear to be worth the money.



Seriously? 3 different Dyno's bud. You can't compare numbers from 3 different cars using 3 different dyno's to state an argument. Dyno Dynamics are called Heart Breaker dyno's for a reason. They are the only ones I use to get my numbers with. Mustang Dyno is low reading also.

This car would break 400whp easy on a dynojet, and probably 430whp on a Dynopack.
