Yes, for many of the superchargers, those which are not anodized, over time it will remove the thin coating on the rotors. If you were to ever remove the rotor pack after having ran the water methanol injection for a period of time. They will almost look like they have been polished. While the water methanol injection will remove this coating. It has not proven detrimental or effected the performance of the supercharger. This coating is designed to wear and will eventually deteriorate over time regardless if water methanol injection is used.

my buddy had his Mustang Dyno rollers coated by some company specializing in it. It's expensive and does not cause any extra drag. But again its big money. And lots of these guys get cheap where it counts and do nothing to help themselves by doing so. You have to spend money to make money etc.

I'll get you name of company pass it on to your people. Before my buddy found them it was a nightmare. New rollers were like 10k or so iirc.


For example. They are good for like 1500 hp on regular tire or some crazy numbers like that. No slip.

Reason number 7 for no meth for me. You sound like you work for Eaton or something. Why would the coating be designed to wear?? Looks a lot like it was eating the rotor to me he said he drove only it 3 -4 times.

Also using the stock pulley that I got with magnussen so I was only putting out about 12 pounds of boost so easily with 14 pounds again I'm assuming that I would be making 840 wheel horsepower.

He just copied and pasted that from pro meth's website.

His first post was that maybe over time it would happen, it happens quickly.

Those are awesome numbers on stock boost what are your mods? insane power on stock 1.7 blower. meth ? e85? cam ?

no. When you mean the track are you talking about the quarter miler at Sonoma or you talking about Laguna Seca? lol

I would like to try out how fast the car accelerates but I need to get some better tires. I don't think I can hook up with just my stock tires.

Not sure if changes have been made to the Maggie metallurgy or coating. But when I had my LPE 427 TVS 2300. I spoke with Magnusson Tech Department when one of my bearings went out and asked them about rebuilding the blower. When diagnosing I was asked about my setup and what it was doing, I mentioned to them that I was spraying meth and the response from Tech Support was that would void my warranty and that it was not good because it corroded the coating on the internal parts. Just passing a long for what its worth.

i am near 1000 hp with just 12 lbs of boost and great drivability. We could easily be over 1000 on the 2.3 if DYNO behaved.

This is what the z06 should have been all along. Think the 2650 is overkill IMHO

plus the HpTuners - TCM tuning makes the A8 actually and finally seem decent. It even Auto DS to 2nd gear now ! lol

Umm, no. Boost juice is damn near the same as washer fluid rated for cold climates (which is why you can use it in a pinch if tuned for 50/50). You was your windshield washer fluid tank every year? Some of the BS spread on this forum....

Edit: I see chevyfanatic pointed out the same already. When people say they run meth, it may be worth pointing out the huge difference in pros/cons of running 50/50 vs 100% meth. If tuned correctly and running 50/50, you should have sparkling clean polished internals. Not the black coated crap posted above.

Where are you getting the 1000hp from? Are you taking the number you think you might have made on a functioning dyno, and adding 17% for drivetrain loss plus another 8% for fun? I haven't seen a Whipple go over a 1000 to the wheels yet, and the 2300 is around 18% smaller.

So much random BS in threads around the 2300 it is nearly impossible to get reliable information.

was not talking about WHP. approx 1000 Crank HP. seriously.

approx 800 whp and that was without maxing the DYNO. so adding 20 hp for 820 whp at 12 psi.

820 whp is near 1000 chp. i said close to 1000 hp.

Not BS! UMMM read that more than once no reason to be a jerk on here. Thread was great till you showed up. Never specied the mix or boost juice if you use the straight stuff the pump will need rebuilt every season! The washer tanks and pumps go bad with just washer fluid too. I looked at my 2015 and it had a drip hanging on it! Looks like The meth is making the black stuff above eating the rotor slowly and voids any warranty on the blower.

OH no! your dyno is not the final word at all. do some math 12 percent 800 you have about 896 crank
top I have seen is Ligenfelter video showing 940 on an engine dyno with the 2300.
Plus your dyno readings you said were tires were slipping which shows higher peaks than actually have no idea what really have.
Why would you have 12psi when I have 13psi with mine??
You need to find a better dyno! Plus no sheet???

Here is the 2300 with ARH 2inch headers and a Halltech intake professionally tuned
on a Mustang Dyno no tire slip 2015 M7 673 rwhp 12.98 boost. 12.2 AFR commanded

I have the dyno sheet ! will post it up. thats nowhere close to what I made but considering you have minimal mods its good. and we kept the pulley that came with it because we agreed it was good enough. So around 12 psi. Obviously we would have been 60hp higher with the bigger upper pulley. I dont agree with that 12%. thats not correct
e.g. z06 A8 is around 540 whp and 650 chp. Thats at least 20% dude. your way off in your calculations ! who told you 12% ?

from forum - A8's typically dyno 510-540 RWHP range, lower end of the range is the car is fully warmed up or heat soaked, higher end if it's a "hero run" done while ECT is still cool, and not warmed up. Mine did 518 RWHP completely stock, on 93 unleaded
