I'm glad to see this supercharger over 600 rwhp. Which pulley are you using? Is this the 3.5" that comes on the 1591 kit? Also, do you think this can go to 700 rwhp with the correct cam and boost?

Yes 3.5 pulley as supplied with that part #. 700 is no problem with this blower. The LS3 has a great bottom end for a stock setup but I am not to keen on putting 700 wheel to it for too long. I would suspect that another 4 lbs should do the trick and be damn close to 700.
That pull was also a fairly hot pull and IAT's with a positive displacement blower on the dyno are tough to keep down. I think if the IAT's where down in would have blown more. The flip side of that is that this wasn't a one hit cold BS pull.
I was very impressed with the boost curve as compared to the ZR1 TVS2300 curve. This is a much more efficient blower right off jump due to the longer runner design.
We are working on a HO version of this with extrude honed manifold, larger heat exchanger, higher capacity heat exchanger pump and some other fuel system upgrades.
Awesome results at only 7psi! I have been very curious to see how well the H/E and pump would perform with the system. Are you planing on making your own H/E? I plan to do some experimenting with this, Ford guys rave about it.

Thats a pretty slick concept! I think Edelbrocks heat exchanger will work well once on the street. Its just tough moving "street" airflow when on the chassis dyno. Our chassis cell fan system draws air from outside and clears the room about 15 times per minute plus fans at front of car. Still not like driving. At these manifold pressure levels its going to work great. Its the 16+ psig I am concerned about.
If you or the car owner have a chance to do some data on the IAT's on the street with some back to back hard runs that would be great. I would like to see how well the stock H/E will perform on the street, and that will give us a good baseline to compare with you new HO setup.

Thanks for the post!
Honestly Edelbrock did a great job in there design for what they intended the "off the shelf" kit to do. The bigger H/E will be geared more for the 15+ psig application where heat will definately become a bigger issue. I really don't expect there setup to not get the job done. We pulled the lid of one and took apart the upper plenum heat exchanges and snooped around. Nice job.
I have some more "cam" related calibrating to finish up tomorrow and we'll hit the road with it and will update.
We have installed just about every FI setup out there and this is a great setup especially with positive displacement power and fit under the hood! We all know that knocks $2500 off the price without the hood.
Nice! If this thing can do 700rwp w/minimal mods and still be "close to oem" reliable, it has to be THE ticket for for a nice streetcar. I love technology.
