Just a few questions?
How does 5.5lbs of boost make 587hp and 597 ft/lbs? Assuming the stock engine made 370 rwhp - 5.5psi would produce 510hp at 100% efficiency - If you are quoting crank hp then 425 would turn into 586 - you must be quoting Eng hp not rear wheel. 7.5lbs would be 642 eng hp. Your numbers make perfect sense and your video is a nice puff piece for Hellion. How do you tame down the compressor nice? Can you really make 646hp with a 52lb injector? – What pump does that require? |

So what are the other costs getting there? I know that you have to worry about heat and what not but...

The same can be said for long tubes with micro cats - they produce as much or more heat then the turbos do in that location. All of a sudden the turbos are look'n REAL good in a comparo to any of the systems out there Last edited by Granatelli; 06-27-2010 at 12:34 PM. |

Got a 2011 5.0 Mustang last night. We had beem working on the twin turbo kit for that as well. Customer wanted car back so I had to but my own. It is no personality like the Camaro. If fact there was a black 2010 Camaro in the parking lot like 20 feet from a black 2010 Mustang. Even in a sea of Mustangs, the 1 Camaro was best in class.
Driving it home, it seemed unstable by comparison to the Camaro as well. Lets see how the 4 cammer responds to boostage. I have a feeling lbs for lbs of boost the Mustang will react better based on the split cam profiles. As to the question posed, if I did not explain properly, a hydrid roots blower or centrifugal or whatever supercharger might seem like less money to purchase but when you factor in you need to push long tubes, a CAI and quite possibly a cam then compound the labor to do all that and the Turbo System looks cost effective. |

not trying to start anything with you granatelli as you are way more intelligent on turbos than I. what i do see a problem with was you were knocking ipsjeff on his kit for making something around 650 hp at 7psi not sure if it was SAE corrected or not. wouldn't your kit make something around 640 at 7 psi putting it within 2 percent of his kit?
i only bring this up because you were knocking the validity of his numbers. with the numbers you are showing here, you either were knocking jeff's kit for no reason or you decided to bump your hp numbers up just to compete? not sure which way it is. i know as him being a vendor he wont say anything, but i just felt i had to say something. i will be buying one of your guys kits...wont be for another year till i get out of germany though. just keep up the good work and make me miss the states even more... |

We are letting our quality, fit and finish speak for itself. Our numbers are real world. But like it has been said, it is hard to compare differnet cars on different dynos on different days. Half to STOCK dyno claims are already 30 or 40 hp higher than what we see from the dealer |
