He says that it moves so much air that it just gets too much turbulence from the air-filter side to get a good reading, just too much fluctuation

to the guys doubting numbers:

I assure you this is REAL rwhp we are talking about, lol. I would say that Its pretty efficient, just look how big it is. I dont care what your GF says, SIZE MATTERS :-p (thats a joke btw lol)

Oh okay I didn't really know that thanks. Now I'm confused on what to do. I was going to keep my S trim and run a 2.87" for 16 psi.

Now it seems I can run a T trim at lower boost and get nice power but like Kerns said I always heard there is no advantage to a T trim until running big boost.

Anyways I guess I need to look into it more but nice numbers.

that pulley will make that blower spin REALLY fast so keep that in mind. What are your power goals? I love that the t-trim makes power with lower boost, It could also be that the inter cooler works damn good. He said my temps were awesome, and staying down during the runs. So I know that could have a lot to do with it.

A T-Trim and an S-Trim at say 10psi (3.33 pulley) on the same car will put out the same power. A T-Trim at 20psi and an S-Trim at 20 psi the T-Trim will slightly outperform the S-Trim. You cant spin an S-Trim past that, a T-Trim however can be brought up to 26PSI and a T-Trim at 26PSI will destroy an S-Trim at 20psi. People go to T-Trims because the S-Trim can't handle the additional boost. T-Trims are 1% more efficient (produce less heat) than an S-Trim so the difference is negligible.

Very nice numbers! Those cams are certainly helping you out. Get that thing to the track as soon as the tuning is done and you get some sticky tires!!! I wouldn't waste your time on street tires

+1... Street tires are worthless with 350+rwhp

I never had too much of a problem on the street, but that much power at the track with street tires meant basically no traction in 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd.

Lol he didn't learn to drive his car at the track with 288rwhp. I can't imagine what will happen with 450rwhp.

Congrats OP and take it to the track asap!

I was running 600+ rwhp on my T-trim with a 3.33" pulley, that's a ton (granted I was on an underdriven Crank pulley so I could run higher RPM).

so yeah, a 3.33" on a stock block is impressive.
just saw it was t trim
