It's not much up by the throttle body.

I have a ton of video of the cars I've tuned but I'm probably not going to share them on here because some fuckwad will sign my business email address up for a bunch of bullshit just to be a dick.

I'll PM you though.

I haven’t dynoed since way before it was supercharged, and that was only like 248 I think on a mustang dyno with some wonky AFR readings. Feeling a bit more hopeful this go around.

So I Postponed my dyno appointment and went with the decision to swap to a larger blower. It’s a better choice in the long run. The 1.6L Lysholm unit would be pretty much maxed out at 9psi, this creates excess heat and more wear on the bearings.

Instead I’ve upped it to a 2.1L Kenne Bell, it will push 9 psi without breaking a sweat, have less parasitic drag, and have intake temps about 20 degrees cooler on average. Best of all it still offers room to grow if I want a little more down the road.

Hoping to get some numbers soon.
