Thanks for the input, Mike. I did say I had limited knowledge.

As it is with the Ohlins R/T with included springs (700 kg F+R) I have tried increasing negative camber in the front (with plates) to try and compensate for the increased tendency to understeer. Even though only 20mm lowered, might need to get LCA's next year and reduce camber in the rear if that helps. Have also tried keeping dampers softer in rear than front but not sure that matters. Don't want to swap the rear sway if I don't have to.

Sorry for going O/T

It's hard to argue against the TVS1320 blower kits. All of the dyno plots outside of the CARB I've seen have them pulling to redline which negates the "centri for top end" argument. I'm sorry but if I'm dropping several thousand dollars and all of the headaches that come along with, I don't want my car to feel N/A on E85 in the low/midrange.

at CARB trim levels, the difference in power delivery is very apparant. With supporting mods, you'd be shocked at how much bottom end a Jackson SC can have, and how much top end an Edelbrock has.

I'm wondering if the Vortech makes more sense because of the EL headers I have already doing a pretty solid job of fixing the torque curve

Give it enough boost and youll remove it completely, exhaust pulse is important for a healthy spool. Something uel doesnt fair, hence all the big boys go EL.
