No I meant stock blower/cooler vs. aftermarket blower/cooler. Both running 15lbs for example, all other mods being equal.

I made this thread to hopefully explain the diferences bet Weistec/Speedriven blowers
1) those that think the Speedriven IC core is smaller are again wrong (talk to actual tuner before spreading yet more disinformation)
2) I wasn't incorrect on 2ndary SMOG pump removal on Weistec stage (3) build install.. I said... "I could be wrong & Weistec could've misunderstood my Q's I was told it was a factor on Weistecs N/A 3.0 liter 63 build & the Stage (3) Weistec wont pass SMOG. The misunderstanding was it doesn't apply to the 55k 3.0 liter Weistec blower..
My trying to be helpful ends in childish critcism from a quick Iphone post (spelling.. marshaled mass sophomoric internet courage) to plethora of skimming readers posting/making summations on things I didn't even say or mean.. Carry on... PS update us on how many of you critics actually buy any brand 3 liter blower & install it (barring the few minority of REAL members here who don't just flap their gums about mods they'll never purchase)

I noticed that the Whipple sits lower than the stock blower.
Being I'm pretty familiar with the M113, that would lessen the space between the valley and blower thus limiting the core size to one that's smaller than stock.
What did Speedriven say the dimensions of their IC core were?

Does anyone happen to know the dimensions of Speedriven's IC core?

Marcin's on Dyno w/the E55k w/2.9 blower swap (Konrad tells me it indeed will use oem dual factory air-intake & keep surge tanks etc) Also was told this big blower doesn't REMOVE the 2nd'ary SMOG pump (Weistec's 2.9 blower does remove this & will make CA or other SMOG requiring states UN-SMOGABLE on Weistec's larger 2.9 blower)
Speedriven's 2.9 blower will be 50 state legal (according to Konrad, new employee.. Also says it's making great power)
My GT3076 Turbs & custom manifolds for my SL will be in my hands in 6-8 weeks
So to ALL you wondering if Speedriven was going anywhere? Not logistically, but moving the HP/TQ off the charts!

Actually, just kidding...I have absolutely NO knowledge of any of the participants or progress. Figured that might draw some info out of the woodwork!
Sorry.

Wondering about the cone filters, realize this is only development stage but what gains are expected from drawing in the hot air after being forced thru the rad, are you going to put some kind of barrel filter on the finished product and draw air thru the front scoops. Besides that any more horsepower and you will have to chain the motor down to the frame, good pull.

yes the car was a modded e55k dyno'ed 508whp at 15 psi with a stock amg blower, with our charger at 10 psi and same mods dyno'ed 500whp. So it seems to be very efficient.

We will supply which ever system is more efficient after the testing is complete
