That is a rather specific range that i'm testing...you are correct on that.
On the overall population (of the DML), there aren't a whole lot of
Supercharged V6's. (No arguments on that one at all Shane.)
On the testing side, it can help give the other S/C'd people a better idea
on what does, what would, and what doesn't work...for the S/C'd
applications.
On the other hand, I actually should have a separate belt to bypass the
blower for the N/A crowd. (That's my bad.)
On the 1000CFM TB...Shane is 100% correct on the Intake and Heads for our
trucks. From what i've heard (haven't measured it...sorry, no flowbench in
my garage) even the M1-MPI is only capable of 790-800CFM...and let's not
forget about all that extra CFM capability...on the stock heads. Won't work
properly.

Testing TBs on a supercharged V6 (assumption) is almost completely useless
to
this group as far as I am concerned because I can't think of but maybe one
other
individual (ViperTruck or something like that?) that might could even use
the
results. I would rather see a test of a bone stock (ok maybe a few typical
mods) trucks (Reg -vs- CC, 3.9/4.7/5.2/5.9L, auto/manual, 3.55/3.92/4.10,
etc)
w/a stock TB, vs several other TB designs in a 1/4-mile, 1/8-mile, 1000-ft,
and
60-ft type scenarios. These results might be more valuable to a larger
crowd.
I think you might be surprised of the results.
Whew - thats enough for now...
Latr,
Shane
