One thing he did mention that caught my eye was when choosing a turbo you need to find out what the mass flow rate of the engine is WITH the supercharger, not the engine by itself. Mass flow rate is how much air the engine is capable of pumping. He said to find out in pounds instead of volume since compressing changes the volume of the air. He also mentioned when putting the turbo after the supercharger it would need a smaller compressor . The supercharger will compress the air first and the compressed air will take up less volume, hence the smaller compressor. Makes sense.
Did you account for this 3240? Do you know what the mass flow rate is for your engine?

The tranny just shipped from Australia and should arrive within the next couple of weeks. The car is running but the tuning is far from complete. We see just over 30 psi on that big turbo at a little over 5000rpms (about 500awhp) which is amazing. We have not been over 5500 rpms yet. It spools much quicker than the HKS 3240 thanks to the supercharger. It also already feels much more powerful then my last setup which was almost 600awhp. 800awhp with almost stock like spool????
The car is also very easy to drive. We're far enough along now where I can safely say that twin charging, when setup right, does work and works well. It's not going to require any high rpm launches since the supercharger will hit over 10psi at low revs. The car is on schedule to be done within 30 days.
