GTM Performance Engineering Stage 1 Turn key Supercharger kit In house Instal II

Look like that poor little Rotrex has to work it as* off trying to push air through a small pipe at the out let to fill the air to air cooler and then to big intake pipe to a motor with valve overlap. But then 390 wheel horses is a lot of horses already.

I'm guessing Staples missed Tony's long post about this issue

I just read Tonys post.
Shumby, if there really was an exhaust leak or pressure leak like Tony wrote, why didn't GTM try to reinstall the FI long tube headers and see what happens? How long do you think the stock cats will hold up with the added pressure of the supercharger feeding air through them?

I'm just curious as to why the LTH had such a negitive effect on the boost and supercharger... And Tony is saying that it was not the problem. Also Shumby, what exhaust did you have on before you went to GTM? It's just strange that you have to run OEM cats and exhaust with the supercharger. But them again, what do I know, because I'm not professional. I only ask because it's curious to me.
GTM does great work and definately know their stuff, and hopefully continue to push the limits even further.
Shumby, I hope you are enjoying your new beast.

Thanks Shumby, and trust me I'm not smashing on GTM by any means because I plan on going with their supercharger one day. And Sam, I'm sorry and do not mean any offense.

Less air = less fuel (or too rich) = less power.
Unfortunately, there's no way to adjust the valve timing with VVEL here (yet), so GTM compensates by adding a restriction to reduce loss, which ultimately nets more power.
