Thanks gretchen but I wish I would've known him earlier! Ever since I hit that wall back in November I've sold the supercharger and decided to move on to twins turbs like you. If the twins don't work out my next project will involve a small kenne bell or m112 if SC2150 can make the custom crank pulley. Our car is pretty easy to make a roots setup with a custom crank pulley because the electronic throttle body can be easily relocated and the area below the stock intake manifold is flat so an adapter plate can be easily made for the blower. However, if Magnacharger does come out with a roots kit and I had to do everything over again I wouldve definitely went with the maggie over the twins because roots blowers have less components to go wrong and worry about!

Dynos are pretty useful for determining gains and doing safe first tunes. However, the real test on the track (1/4 mile, autocross or road course). On all the boosted cars we are seeing the extra power is leading to too much wheel spin (especially on the autos). So, the next logical step is to do what some of the NO2 guys have done, put drag radials on them. I'm going to put better tires on mine and do the trailing arms, but since I want to do the road course I'm probably not going to be the one that sets in records on the 1/4 mile. If Max ever builds his custom SC then he may be the quy that does it. Otherwise we will have to wait on someone that really wants to run their car at the strip.

Different gears, weight, suspension, hitting the powerband in different places, etc. The actual HP/TQ numbers are just very small variables in otherwise huge equations.

A6 on the V6 has an open differential. That means one tire just spins. The L99 and LS3 equipped camaros have a limited slip differeential, so both wheels would have to spin -- they get more traction. The M6 camaros seem to do better on the launch, but if you put sticky tires on an A6 they do very well.
