Official Weistec M113K 3.0L Supercharger, PICTURES INSIDE!!!
That would put the motor at 235 crank hp...probably not that low but I bet the motor only makes about 300 at the crank.
I know there are Cobra guys running 17 and 18* of timing on 93 octane and running 18psi of boost on 2.9 Whipples, and there are even guys running up to 21psi in those cars but most are in the 18psi range with the above ignition advance.
And where the heck are the 2 guys that have these things mounted on their cars that are posting members on here? They should be running by now.
Those Cobras were making around 630whp at 18psi and 18* with a 2.9 Whipple while running headers and cars running 17psi on 93 octane and 16-17* were in the 575 range so it seemed to be pretty close to the Weistec numbers, hince the curiousity of what ignition timing.

On the 4.0L V6 engine I make kits for we shoot 18-20 BTDC at 6200 with 10:1 compress in the 12-14 PSI range.

Fired right up and idled very smooth. Drives very nicely. I can see that the traction control is really going to burn through the rear brakes.
AFRs are tracking just as I expected. Usually ends up around 11-11.5 WOT and full RPM.
Timing is up and then tapers off as the IAT comes up. The IAT does climb fast and also recovers fast. Ambient is about 40*F and the IAT was pushing 180 a couple of times. That might get better as the air burps out of the system. There is no procedure for bleeding the air out of it. Going to do the cooling split very soon.
Just have a few miles on it. I will say the overall performance is better than the 180 crank pulley on the stock system and way smoother. It does not have that shock from the clutch engaging. It just goes.
Need to put some more miles on it.
It is very nice to be able to drive the car after it sitting for the last 6 months.

An engines power is doubled with every added atmosphere of pressure with an effective intercooler. 14.7 PSI is one atmosphere or bar. 11.6 PSI from a stock E55 is 78.9% of 1 bar. If the car dynos at 400 RWHP with 11.6PSI, it would produce approx 223.6 RWHP without the blower.
Of course, these are approximations but it should be close. An intercooler that brings the air below ambiant can produce more than double the power at one bar but I think you can see the sense in the calculations.
Looks like the intercooler system is settling down a bit. IAT much more stable now.
Made one run to 150 and it pulls very hard and wants to keep right on going.
I was worried about the noise from the supercharger with that open element filter, but it is not to bad at all. You can hear the whine, but it is quiet enough to make me happy.
