Yes, were working on it and yes, its far superior. @ 1.6 overdrive, 10,000 engine rpm, it makes 60psi on a alcohol 540ci BAE engine. That was 3500hp on methanol. PSI had to turn 2.25 and had 7.5psi more boost to get the same power.

Not refering to the engine, just the superchargers. Then try to get 2 the same. Just put some feeler gauges between the rotors and see, then measure rotor to bearing plate clearance. The 980 is almost twice the size of the PSI and is a true axial entry, there really is no comparison.

[QUOTE=Whipple Charged;2741492 just think if my cart had whipples on it 
[/QUOTE]
Well if my cart wudda had Whipple's, it clearly would run slower
but show more power on the dyno! 
Well get workin on it BIG Daddy and dont fill it up with that Cali gas we'll get ya some 118

You started this sh*t with knocking your competitor instead of your product speaking for its self.
I dont see Blower Shop,Little Field,Psi and all your other compitition downing your product, makeing claims that cant stand behind.Ill say it again and agian show me 1 comparision in a true life condition and shut me up.
No one has posted on this thread as of yet and gave me a hard # on speed gained when they went to your set up.In fact the 38.8 that was tested fell way short of speeds that the boat should run with 2400Hp
In fact that set up should run 140-150 all day long with 850sc race packages.
Now you need more details about my set up. Like I stated before More HP in my hull will equal more speed, damm Im running a hull that was a race boat for 2 different race teams and holds National and World titles. JC and ByrdMan ran 190 in a 46 former race boat with big power and psi blowers.Im thinking 1550 + so. If I pick up 200-400 hp I should see 10-20 mph easy if not Peter has never built a championship
race boat.

The Kramer 388 Skater has Teague 1200EFI's with our W305ax superchargers. The boat is built for Lake Tahoe, 6500ft and has the same pulley's as sea level, negating 3-4psi of boost @ Tahoe. Therefore it's prop/gear combo is setup for just that.
I didn't dyno the motors, but when we dyno, we use the proper correction factor. By the way, instead of correction factor, you should mention "cali" gasoline, just about the worse in the 50 US states. And the motors do make 1200hp, actually a touch more.

Not to be a D**k but theres alot of complaints in the industry about warrantys and kits that dont work.

If I remember right Nasville Cat had many problems and were repaired not long before the crash.

Keith, I don't build boats and have no part in the magazine articles. I only know about it because it has the supercharger and I did the ECM programming. The boat was tested and setup at and for Tahoe. They brought it down for the test. I do not know why they didn't change gears, not my boat. Write a letter to Powerboat and ask them, or call Bob Teague.
