any dyno numbers out yet ?
Speedwerx Supercharged M8?
- Thread starter maniac mechanic
- Start date
No way is it anywhere near 225!
Id say around 180-190 max at that boost level... Been running a couple SC cats here for a couple years (M8 and proclimb chassis) I dont have dyno numbers but running with the stable of sleds its sub 200hp no doubt!
That's just what speedwerx told us. And I can guarantee they are well over 200. They will kill any big bore, even at low elevation. 180 is a piped and ported cat. Mine will beat my boondocker cat at even boost level. Not just barely either. They have more power than you think. What clutching, gearing and drivers are you running?
the standard "pump gas" supercharger kits (with dropped compression less on stock comp ratio) are set at 6-6.5 lbs of boost at 8200-8250 rpm (max) This is the setup my buddy is riding now. He has new pullies coming from jeremy to get into the 8lb threshold.
8-8.5 lbs with a decent mix of 20-30% race fuel. Jeremy is claiming that beyond that point the big boost race gas setups are needing aftermarket ignitions because the proclimbs are blowing spark out.
Turbo manufacturers went through the "200 HP" pump gas 800 setups a long time ago and never made the mark, and we all know that supers dont make the HP per lb of boost as a comparable turbo setup does.
Id love to see dynotech strap one down though!

We have 6 kits at 8.5 lbs now. 100% pump gas. Pull up to the gas station and go. I will put my super charged sled against a pump gas turbo any day. I was skeptical last year and was a big boondocker supporter. Superchargers are the future
What elevation? And my pump gas impulse apex eats that supercharger for lunch! Like 6-8 lengths from a dead stop
We have been in Seeley which is roughly 4500-7000, up to tepee which gets up to 9500. No matter where weve been they all run very similar. I was hoping to ride with a 2012 cutler turbo which I know runs good, but his plans changed. I got beat every time last year on my boondocker at 8.4 lbs with a 3" track compared to a sc at 6.8
Seriously check your setups. Clutching, rpms, make sure the maps are installed correct, exhaust valves, spark plug gaps, tps is calibrated. Lots of simple things can really affect a good running sled.

No pros yet. Carl's cycle bought exclusive rights to the kits. We have to buy a kit through them to sell. Weird deal. We did ride on past year with a vipec at 6 lbs. It ran good, not quite as good as the cat at 8 lbs, but actually very close. For sure would beat any poo turbo IMO.

162 3". 8 lbs of boost, 300 plus pound ruder

Those things do rip out of the hole!... The cats sounds mean
B
on my second year with mine now and haven't found a true pump gas turbo that competes with mine on pump gas yet or a big bore for that matter either

Any idea who did the Vipec mapping??
It would have been Sebastian from ViPec with Ron's help. Those two guys are the driving force behind the supercharger/ViPec combo.
