You can get em from Marty... He was going to run mine side by side the
Magnum Perf unit but I didnt get it to him in time... Differetn dyno runs
can produce different results. The truck was a BONE stock 318 with a
catback. IMO Marty could have put a GENII on it for a better comparison,
(no limiting with the air inlet) but... Everyone should remember that
installing a TB isnt like putting on a Supercharger (Its a lot easier, but
you DONT get 100 hp out of it...). IMO its a necesary part of a good engine
build up and will augment most every mod you do, but its still not a silver
bullet...
Ive seen the TB250 from Jules and it is a beautiful piece of work! Its kinda
pricey though. I know how much it costs me to make these guys from scratch.
