David - Are those graphs of MAF readings(lbs/min*10) for horsepower plotted against rpm? What program did you get them with. Just curious.

Thanks
The data was captured with EFILive. The LS1 computer has a bunch of stuff you can monitor with EFILive, including Engine Torque. So if you know your torque and RPM, you can calculate the Horse Power. This is great for comparing "same" to "same modified". I would not say the torque numbers that the LS1 computer is giving are gospel. They are probably close, though. I was figuring that I was making a peak of 470 HP based on 1/4 mile performance, but the graph shows a peak of just over 500 HP. You would need a dyno for numbers that you could compare between different vehicles.
The point of showing the graph, was to show how the power comes on strong a lower RPMs with a positive displacement type (roots, screw) supercharger, vs a centrifugal. It also shows what a nice improvment in performance you can make with just the supercharger.

Like magnacharger says.....The Radix knocks off 2 Seconds. This is proof right here.
