I don't just mean slipping the belt off the supercharger..
I mean has anyone ever bolted a ported upper and lower intake manifold off of a N/A 3.8L T-bird or mustang to their modified SC to see how much power/tq it made?
My last dyno run made 330.5 rwhp and 402.8 rwtq, which was prior to the headers and magnaport blower.. (ran with S-model, and ported stock manifolds.)
I have a spare set of N/A upper and lower intake manifolds off a 93 Tbird LX 3.8, and I think I might try it for ***** and grins.. MM&FF did this on an 03 cobra crate motor.. They put an 01 cobra N/A intake on the low compression 03 block and the fugger still made 369 crank hp and 377 crank tq outta the box..
By the math my engine is at 8.7:1 compression, which we settled on due to high altitude as the primary use..
Anyone ever tried this? I know it runs like dog crap with the blower belt off, but that's really a fair way to measure it since you get the drag from the SC, and the bypass (even when held open manually) is just too small..
