But i did find .
"Updates the first post with pics from SEMA. Final tuning is still being done. The base tune (first test tune) was making ~530 WHP at 7 PSI but that is certainly not the final number. The car needs to have final tuning done.''

OK
7psi is 47% more air over the atmosphere
47% x 14.7psi = 7psi
lets just say 360 WHP stock
47% x 360 WHP = 529 whp
close huh ?

Lets say it dynoed stock @ 370 WHP
375 WHP x .47% (7psi) = 543 WHP
not as close as before but its pretty close .
There's no dyno sheet cause Turbonetics hasn't published it yet. Either way we can argue semantics all day. My point was simple, not every car requires exactly double the atmospheric pressure to produce double the horsepower. I was simply trying to stress that x PSI does not equal X horsepower. X amount of CFM increase DOES equal X amount of horsepower. I'd prefer to agree to disagree then keep going back forth. You can use your calculations as you see fit and I'll stick with compressor maps, mass flow rates, etc that I use. It's conjecture anyways unless someone figures out how to properlly tune the DIS system on the V6 for daily use.
