Ok, now I'm lost.............
Dyno sheet is old when fuel line was restricted...522rwhp..... now have unkinked fuel line and no loss of fuel pressure, making 30hp more. Haven't dyno'd it since, but it's much stronger. Numbers are estimate......which even dyno's aren't exact and rarely match day to day.
I could have just said 400hp on the video....but it's just fluff.

Will beat your compressor to death and damage your belt. You can hear it in the vid loud and clear. I had it bad, had to go with a Tial 50mm bov to make it stop.
When you let off the throttle, the bov must release the pressure in the piping that gets trapped between the compressor and the throttle body. If it can't release it fast enough, the pressure must go somewhere, so it forces itself out backwards through the compressor wheel. It sounds like...t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tt-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t.....versus pshhhhhh. This pressure pushing backwards out the system causes resistance and puts a strain on the belt too...
