Jeanyus.. You need to be in my car when I drop the clutch at 5k rpm.

That's when simulates a roots style blower and throws down all the boost

I've never been in my car doing that either. :P I was really talking more about laying into the throttle at 3000 rpms and not so much leaving the line hard.

Most of that is probably because of the "de-tune" that Doug had to put in the car. There is no telling how much timing is in it. You could probably throw more timing in it on the low end ( say 4000 rpm and below) and the car would feel a lot better on the low end and mid range.

I am only speculating though. Doug may have tuned it with a good timing curve on the low end or he may have pulled timing through the entire curve

That's because the s-trim is a smaller blower and it turns up faster and feels better in the mid rpm range than the t-trim....plus you're out of the efficient boost range for the t-trim. I have talked to a few people that have went from a S-trim to a T-trim and said they like the s-trim better for the street because it feels better in the mid rpm range.

Re: Vortech Mach 1

Doesn't chips cobra have 4.10's in it still or did that change? Also is the Mach1 running the stock 3.55's. That'd make a huge difference in how the power feels, just because of the quicker acceleration.
