What are you doing for your setup ? The other night I was checking out compressor maps, looking at how a twin 3076 setup would be in good shape from 7-20 psi easily, something like 450 HP on low boost, and all the way up into the 700s with things turned up.


Then I realized I really dont need a 700 HP daily driver, and fitting all of that with a/c would clutter my engine bay more than I want, and 650 HP on the bottle is close enough.
