Default Why is my TRQ so low...?

Well its not really low... just lower than I think it should be.

603rwhp and 506rwtrq

Here is my setup:
Procharger D1SC with FMIC 11psi at 7000RPMs
SW LTs Catless
Corsa Sport Exh
Comp 224/228 .581/.588 114lsa
AlkyControl kit
Upgraded Valvetrain

I have all the necessary fuel upgrades and whatnot also...

What would cause my TRQ numbers to be lower than most other Procharged applications? Could it be the fact that I run a Y pipe into a single piped exhaust system? I have been considering adding Cutouts before the Y-pipe but am uncertain if the cost would be worthwhile!?

Any thoughts on this or am I just worrying about something I shouldnt?

I am not so sure my bottom end would agree with a 50shot. When I finally get aorund to putting in a built 408 I plan on running about 13-15psi and a 50-100shot of nitrous

How long have u been pushing 11psi through the stock bottom end? Im trying to push 11-12psi now on stock bottom end and see how far it goes before letting go. Im planning to max the D-1SC on a 396 and 100 shot too. That should bring the TQ where it should be.

By the way whats your pulley combo to get 11psi at 7000RPM? Im seeing 11-12psi at 6800RPM with 7.25 crank and 3.85 SC pulley now.

ok first mick, your tq isnt LOW. second, its low compared to say... a magnason blower (roots) b/c yours is a centrifugal! your blower doesnt make much cylinder pressure at low rpm. thus it doesnt make tq. it also makes the car easier to launch at the same time as compared to the roots that makes its power at 3K rpms and holds it.

stop worrying. your setup is great. work on traction!

I agree with gator..... now start worrying about getting that much power to hook....
oh and add a cutout... for me it was a good $1 per HP mod... $25 cut-out and picked up 27rwhp.... plus it sounds mean
