If I've got a 2001 cobra engine with low mileage and im running a 3-core intercooled supercharger, what is the max amount of boost I should use if its a daily driver? With the maximum in mind, safelty, how much power would that be pushing?
Thanks for any help..

Milky

Anyone? Help?

6-8psi, you got her tuned right?

DeViouS

as much as you want (no more than 10) as long as it doesnt see high boost everyday

Milky

ya its tuned, burned a diablo sport chip? Its at 7, should i be upping it at all?

jdaniel

If its tuned for seven then I wouldnt add any boost till you get it retuned for the amount you wanna run or get a flip chip. You cant just add boost without adding fuel and timing. So you need to get it retuned. The most I would run is about 9 psi. That should make you close to 400-450 depending on the tune.

Milky

Ok well thats explains most of what I wanted to know thanks.. I'm not sure exactly but I was told the car running 7psi was making 420 or so at the wheels, would that be wrong since your saying 9psi would get me about that?

jdaniel

What kind of blower. How safe is the tune and whats the AFR? There is a lot of things involved in making power.

probably about 8psi max for 93 octane and descent timing... now thats just for the tune part. you also have to worry about breaking the stock rods which won't hold much more than 400 or so rwhp before taking a dump on you. Tune for boost but keep the engine around 400rwhp or below if you want it to live.
