Merry Christmas!

I was talking to Josh @ A&A about the billet wheels for YSI and What i know is there never released the billet wheel as it didn't gain the power they were hoping for.

Vortech says it was a flop, a failure. lost massive midrange for no reasonable gains up top.

pretty much the ysi and 2000 the way they are are best bang for the buck and all around most reliable blowers take your pick one is quiet (2000) and one is noisy(ysi)

Based on what I can tell, the YSi is the blower you buy if you want to make 1000+ WHP in a "small blower" package without over spinning the heck out of it too much.

A 2.75 with an 8 inch crank pulley is over spinning it at 7K.

I have a 2.75 pulley on my YSi.

I thought they gained up top but lost midrange.

Who cares about midrange? lol

Funny, just the announcement of a YSI billet wheel made most heads up drag racing classes add weight or not allow it.

Well isn't that some ****!!

It would seem that if they are making the heads up classes add weight or not allowing it, that it's making some jam!!

Wish I could've had a cast vs billet comparison but we stopped at 1140/900 on breaking my engine in (engine dyno) w/billet wheel.

LSN 388ci (4.125 bore/3.625 stroke)
AFR 230's (older version)
ECS Big blower cam
Holley Hi ram 92mm
ID1300's
E85
2.95/8" pulley combo (21.5psi at 6800)

This was tuned at a timing map of 20* and we just crept up on it psi wise by changing pullies. I have no doubt it would've made 1200hp with fine tuning, better fuel pump voltage (notice the reulator psi dropping), and spinning it to 7000rpm. I may try the 2.75 pulley once the motor is back in and on the chassis dyno and just see where we end up.
