Which is also hard to accomplish without melting the s/c
at around 60mph i can feel the turbo kick in pushing. the best way to understand it is get in your car and do a good hard run to say 60mph now you will feel the sc pushing you into your seat all the way up to 40 then let off just a lil.. now your still being pushed but just not as hard and it gets less and less as you reach 60mph...... now think if the pushing started all over agen back like it was say at 30mph but lasts up past 130mph. it dusnt feel as strong as from a dead start type kick in the pants but you are still moveing so you find yourself holding your head forward to keep from laying all the way back in your seat from the pressure
now driveing around town under 60 there is no chang. I have it set up where i need to have the throtle position past 50% and above 18psi of boost (going to chang that to 19psi and rase my fuel pressure a lil to lower my afr just a tad more) to make my fuel regulator open up more
I dont beleave the rpms on the sc go up if thay did that would mean the sc is spining faster then the belt and i have never herd any noize or lights come on. Now as i understand it our sc have a clutch system so at crusing speed it shuts off and the air is pulled past it bye the engin that tells me there is plenty of room around the blades for the boost to squeez through without makeing it spin faster but i can see where it might take away some of the parasitic loss of hp from the engin bye releaving some of the stress on the sc needing to suck so hard. Not sure what the math is but the idea makes sense to me. I have a stock pully so the rate at witch it spins at say 100mph would be the same on a unmoded srt6 at 100mph. I also beleave the bigest gain in power/boost is from the turbo air being compressed a bit more bye the sc. But theres alot smarter ppl on here that might beable to explane that way better then I can
