Supercharger drag and max boost levels? I am still in the debating stage between a sc and tt.
Does anybody know how much drag is created by the pulley on the sc??? Estimations??
I guess that is the MAIN reason that people in general favor turbos, less of the drag on the engine.
I am going to see if the EWP (if and when it comes out will fit on the car with a sc to lessen the drag, IF I get an sc ahaha)
Also, what is the max boost you can use on a 9.5 compression BUILT (iron block, forges, bla bla) engine??? CAn I go 18 psi on a SC?? Does ATI sell such a pulley for these ls1's???

Re: Supercharger drag and max boost levels? I'm not sure but I don't think anyone has successfully gone as high as 18 psi with an LS1. As far as drag goes, it really depends on how fast you are spinning it (what boost you are making).
