Well you are wrong as the discussions we have had with Rotrex signify that their graphs are nonsense. Again empirical evidence from the other supercharged Zetec engined Phoenix is that at 14-15psi at the plenum (with 2psi losses using a chargecooler) that got 358BHP on the same dyno as mine got 308BHP.

As I said I'm dealing with experimental evidence rather than some theory or other.

The theory isn't going to work if Rotrex can't even put out a proper flow graph :roll: (as I said "if this map is to be believed").

I look forward to seeing the experimental evidence on your car, and wish you well.

So after the top end rebuild due to the cambelt/idler/tensioner the engine is now at 300HP at the wheels....which has stripped 3rd gear. New box being built and plans to put a charge cooler in to find the lost BHP in the intercooler.
