Yeah I knew it was 6.4 psi but 6.5 sounds better 
I'm not sure but the units on for 200kw of torque dont really work out 
I think I talked with the tall guy at SEMA, i think his name was Chris.

It sounds promising, but I wonder how it will be affected by those of us with opened exhaust systems - high flow cats/mid-pipes, cat backs headers. Will we then run too lean?

Well, we're seeing more power from the exhausts on our car not only reducing backpressure, but also leaning out the mixture a bit, correct?
If a headerback system is in fact leaning out the AFR's, does the factory ECU compensate the fuel to make everything "better" - if so I'm concerned with nothing.
Anyone care to explain? To me, lean is lean no matter whether we're running an SC or TC. Either way is not good news.

if those assumptions are correct, its not the ideal setup for getting the most amount of power the engine can handle... but it could be a nice bolt-on kit that delivers decent power and no headaches.

that said, this is certainly lower boost levels, so its possible it might work. I'll be curious to see over time. I'm overly conservative by nature, hence my usual healthly sceptisim.

Kilowatts are a power measure! torque relates to force, hence the expressions Pounds per foot, Kilograms per meter, Newtons per meter, etc.
This level of inaccuracy makes me wonder if this guys know what they are doing...

hate to bump a old thread, not sure if anyone read that little snip bit about this supercharger in the lastest SCC, apparently power enterprise scrapped this supercharger idea, I guess they were having problems. So I guess another one bites the dust.
