Twisted Turbo Review

I'm lost...don't take this the wrong way, I'm truly trying to understand you. You are saying that detonation is a measure of power?

we take compression out of the head, every set up is diffrent diffrent boost # for the same power out of octane, octane and power level dont lie.
all you are saying is that you have to run 3 #S MORE TO GET THE SAME POWER OUT OF YOUR FUEL.

Not bashing but there are so many things that come in to play here ie. heat and efficiency that what you say is only about 30% complete.

We are both running Av Gas and with the regulations on 100LL, it should be identical fuel. I think compressor efficiency, charge temp and compression have a lot to do with the amount of boost you can run on set octane level. I don't think that Shains statement about more boost being needed to get the same power is accurate. If so there would be no point in air to air intercooling, water to air intercooling or water meth inj. I don't want to mess up this thread with tech info or this kit vs. that kit so I'll save this topic for another thread.

Congrats on the sled, its good to hear that the sled and customer service is working for you.
