How about a test that would attempt to identify the best "street" top mount supercharger. A large percentage of the blowers sold are not charged with the task of making huge HP numbers. If blower "A" is capable of 900 hp matters little to the guy that is good with 2/3's of that and wants his power train to live long and play nice. All out builds need another thread. Let's put turbo's and centri's in a different thread also. They're great and deserve their own thread. Compare apples and apples here.

Set up an LS3 dyno mule and test the top mounts available (or soon to be). Equip the LS3 with all the bolt ons (no cam upgrade) and agree on a boost level of say...maybe...8psi. Level the playing field.

Personally, I think there wouldn't be enough difference in power levels to make performance a deal breaker either way. I'd be more interested in packaging, reliability, and track record of the vendor. Your thoughts?
