I tried to follow that. Couldn't get it done. Maybe I'm a just a little too "ignorent"....The statement relating the various belt driven superchargers was made by Livernois Motorsports. Not me. They do know a little about that stuff. I tend to lean a little toward their side on this issue.
Btw.How'd you get me call'n you "ignorent"out of my first post?You readin my mind "Mr.Houdini".

I dont wanna get into semanics here but,the statement "a pound of boost @6000 rpm is relatively the same between street blowers be it centuri,roots,screw."Is jus ignorent to all the characteristics that make a given blower better for specific application.You guys are smarter then that.There are isolated test performed on blower units so their capabilities are in black or white.Supporting hardware are at best details for the consumer to figure out.So next time you think debby downer about a specific headunit.Stop and use some common sense by understanding what the intended application really is.Good example is for the longest time most thought the 4.8 was jus a watered down 5.3 an should be ripped out asap.Jus like sidemount Whipples cant make much more power then n/a let alone good power for a blower lol.I used both together and made better power at boost levels lower then the competitions.I knew there was life outside the box but,to be honest I really had no choice other then go with a Whipple.I picked it up cheap off CL an made it work cause,all the numbers suggested the blower had potential.An Im no better then the next broke dick hard headed fool that enjoys goin fast....
Plus you spelled ignorant wrong, hence the quotes.

You are "ignorent" by sucombing to the opinion of a sole company that tends to lean a lil towards making money off you "the consumer"...Of course they're gonna say "OH,yeah....ah it really dosent make a difference what blower you use."While in his mind hes thinkin "shoot I can make money off them all".I mean why short youself an limit to the sales of a single blower especially a place used to dealing with many very diffrent types of people.

Seems like a typical whipple thread on here to me. :nunchuk1:
All joking aside, whipple does makes a good supercharger. Just some of there kits, and customer service was lacking in the past. The new kits they have for the trucks looks much better and so does the service. Pick what you like, whether it is a whipple or maggie/tvs.
As far as the same "a pound of boost the same a 6000rpm".... I would think that would apply to similar sized head units. But the smaller units are going to be working harder than a larger one at the same boost level. Right? So wouldnt that mean the smaller units create more heat at the same lb of boost (IAT's)? My thinking could be off base. I am by no means an expert.

My appologies to Tony...
An thank you for posting the results.Im curious as to the details of each blower like #'s of boost,pulley ratio,iat's during the run,and setup of the specific vehicle details if not stock?
Thanks again,
Duane

each bllower has its limitations, it's knowing that you are there and how you work with it.
I ask Why not the 2300 for your set up? could it be a simple rotor group swap? hit BlownChevy up?
