WRXracer said:Is there a way to install a blower on your car, and still have it drive like it did stock and not be all weird..
WRXracer said:yeah part throttle driving was always weird reminded me of a carb car..
the GT isn't supercharged so it's not like they 'got it wrong'WRXracer said:well they got it right on the cobra why cant they get it right on the GT..
His lower horsepower levels have got nothing to do with the tune. Allen’s in general don't make as much peak horsepower as a KB or a centrifugal. They still utilize an Eaton, which is stone reliable, but make a fair bit of heat and therefore are not as efficient. They make a ton of off-idle torque and anyone who I've ever met who's got one, feels as though they have perfect drivability, part throttle, or otherwise. So, with that respect, yes, I think you may be in need of a tune. AED tends to tune their kits a little on the "safe" side and as such it may be slightly affecting your driveability.Carl said:
I think o3redfire is right. No offense, but you are running 9 psi of boost with an o/r x-pipe, etc. and are only making 318rwhp. I am running 9psi with an o/r h-pipe and I am making 410 rwhp and mine is completely fine at part throttle. It's just like stock. It idles the same and drives the same, just got alot more power.

Yes, I agree a few more ponies can and would be made available with a more accurate tune, but likely no more than 10 or so. I didn't mean to come off as though your point was invalid, I was just clearing up the misconception that everyone thinks that it's standard practice for a 9psi set up to make 400rwhp. This is true in most cases, with Twin screws, (which are admittedly more efficient blower) and centrifugals (which in my opinion, tend to by dyno queens most of the time and don't put near the power they make on paper, to the pavement) but the small M-90 Eaton does have it's limits and his power levels are pretty typical for a stock set-up.Carl said:I'll give you that. Roots blowers do make less peak rwhp than centrifigal and twin screw blowers. BUT!!! with a better tune, you most always get more hp. If the tune is bad enough to get horrible part throttle driveability, then there is more likely much more power available when properly tuned. Yes, as you said, not as much as a twin screw or centrifigal, but definitely more power.
Call him and ask why it doesn't drive so well...WRXracer said:No I have a perfect dyno tune done by the best guy in northern cali.. byron.. He got ever but of power he could out of it.. he told me I lost power in the mid range part throttle due to the fact that he had to back off timing to prepair the engine for full boost because you get instant boost and you can blow the engine..
