Time to guess Dyno numbers again!
My car put down 557 rwhp early last year when I was running the older procharger twin intercooler setup with a 4.0 pulley. I was running 6lbs of boost then. I have since changed to the latest A&A front mount ram air intercooler, swapped to a 3.7 pulley and added methanol. What would be your guesses on my power level now. Probably will dyno in about a month.

Decided on keeping the supercharger, since I decided to add meth. It's a stock Ls6 with the big blower cam and supporting components and kooks longtubes. Everything on this car is from the torch red 2001 z06 I previously had (long story). Meth will be tuned for more safety, I think, lol. I like the simplicity of this new front mount intercooler. With the tigershark fascia this new front mount intercooler should really get the air it needs. I have done all the work except the tuning, and a good friend of mine does it.

So hard to say on FI, but I guess around 620. I think most of the gain will be from smaller pulley and retune w meth, as I don't think the twins were much of a restriction yet. I think you will get even more real world results at highway speed with the ram air effect.
Was the change difficult to do, did you already have cradle modified?
Let us know if you see any rise in temp after the tune and it gets hot out, since the rad will now be covered with the IC.

Results are in! It would have made more, but was running out of pump, so had to stop. Time to upgrade to twins! It made 646 rwhp and 500 rwtq.
