My guess would be a forged piston that lowers compression some? .. regardless going forged and lowering compression a bit to be able to throw say 15 - 16 PSI would be WELL worth it ....
Example. 04 cobra I had at about 12psi I made about 460rwhp / 460rwtq ... at about 16 psi I made about 509rwhp / 520rwtq .... When I was stock (with CAI) I was at 400rwhp and that was about 8psi .. Crowley

That makes no sense........I don't know why they don't run them in the LS series...they don't cost much more..........maybe the noise factor when cold

not to mention, its fun to push a motor/car to its limits and beyond.... then build it up the way you want. lol

forged pistons generally have higher density and tend to way a bit more. If your wanting to build a motor that requires them you need to maximize boost to make it worthwhile. There are already several cars that are running the 1900 TVS on ls3 and ls7 motors with not a lot of modifications. If I were building a forged motor I would go with the 2300 and really boost it.

But then we'd also blow the motors. Moral of the story: Forged internals always win in high heat and power apps. They may weigh a tad bit more, but the gains are well worth it. Why do you think we use them when weight is always an issue for aircraft? |

From videos I've seen, those style blowers make WAY to much of a whine noise. I prefer the "suttle" whistle of a Vortech and the sound of the cars exhaust more. Curious to see one on a Camaro though!

I don't see why this company is going to use old technology when they have these new rotors to work with... Oh well. To each his own Camaro will be kicking tail though, regardless of blower - period. Quote:

I agree, but LOVE it!!! I'm a little disappointed the ZR1 and CTS-V don't make a little more noise, but I imagine much more could get irritating after a while of driving - especially in a DD. It's funny some Cobras I've heard with KBs or Whipples whined so much that it overpowered the exhaust!!! That was with full exhaust including LTs. Those cars were stupid fast!!!

unless you are running a Ysi.... those beatches scream. I for one, want my s/c howling. just something more of an intimidation factor for me I guess. not to many people want to F with you when they hear that whine. leading to less street racing... like my logic on that one? lol Quote:
