I'm only running 8 psi. until i build a motor i'm staying there but could drop a about a 280hp/250ft if I didn't care about the chance of ripping rods in half. With a motor i could could make some real crazy numbers.
Trying to get the car in TTB so might have some down tuning to do even at 220/200.

A guy in the UK made 277 on a stock motor for years, Chargers don't hit as hard when torque peak arrives.

That is unless I've completely missed something.

I have a feeling that it could be measured someway. It's pretty easy to see how much power is used to drive a blower. Not sure how to accurately measure the power needed to drive a turbo. It's surely less than what it takes to drive the blower....but the laws of high school physics tells me it's not "free" to drive a turbo.

I didn't quite take it all in but the guy is a genius who is a lead design engineer of nuclear power plants by day and teacher by night. I think there is some discussion on the subject in Corky Bell's book as well.

You are making more power and torque at the engine to create the same whp / wtq as you are mechanically driving your compressor vs using a turbo. If this guy could make that power SC'ed reliably then you should be able to make more power with a turbo without grenading, though you may have something in the gentler onset of power.

That's how I understood his engine to have survived.
