i find that hard to belive!! i know what artical you are taking about and i have read it alot of times! 9lbs is 9lbs and it will put out pretty much same amount of power no mater if its a super charger or a turbo!! and 9 lbs in a si does not put 272 hp to wheels!! most i have ever seen is like 23-240 with about ~9-10lbs. so somthing is up with that setup! an i think the public is missing out on some value info!!!

As far as a SI running 270+whp with 8-9psi.... Mine hit 279.9whp with 8-9psi. Got the DYNO to prove it.
And none of this takes into account the power curve that these units create...

also riceroket i think you had a 1.8l built too! so its hard to compare it to a 1.6 stock dohc si motor!! and i said PRETTY MUCH the same power i understand there are alot of varibles involved but for most part there will not be huge differnce!! sorry

i know it sounds hard to believe that it is a stock si pulling that much on only 9 psi but charles is very right about the displacement portion. the problem is getting the centrifugal blower to launch right because it is like a turbo by nature but blowers run straight off the motor and so the centrifugal still needs spool up time. if it were a roots it would have balls right off the line. and btw i run 8psi and am not anywhere near that much power. before anyone comes back on that comment... i am not vtec but not stock either.
oh yeah and the si tranny is not quite geared for blistering 1/4s
