Going blown have a few questions?

Theoretically 6psi on a 710hp NA engine would get you 1000hp. Not counting the power it takes to spin the blower. How much power do they take?
I'm guessing it would have to be something like an 800hp 540 if it were naturally aspirated, which is quite tuned up!

Mike, I run 30* & 91 octane. I would be afraid to run 32 or higher on 91 octane. Do you have egt numbers on you motor...like say at 28* 30* 32* etc... Just curious how much it differs... Also, Im sure you realize, that cyl pressure & afr, change where the best timing lies from motor to motor. I think thats why some guys that run more timing in boosted motors claim they run better when way fat, like 10 to 1. Merc ran 32* w/ 8to 1 900sc & 28* in a 7.5 to 1 800sc. I dont think the 800 had inconel vales?

Thanks Mike.... couple other questions for ya.... have you ever run like 32 or 34* with an afr at around 11.7 or higher? What egt's were you getting at 32* and any numbers at 30* when you dyno'd your motor? 50 hp by 2* drop, .... that is a kick in the nads... but ya if the motor wants more, then I guess. Do you run 91 or 93? Detonation just scares me & I have enough JE ashtrays sitting around, but this summer I m thinking of upping my timing, not for the power but for those over 15 minute WOT runs. I also have enough junk vales on the shelf.... At least with the burnt pastons you can use them for ashtrays... is there any use for the junk vales? lol

Engine speed, cylinder pressure, cam design, chamber design, piston design, stroke, spark plug style, air/fuel ratio, all play a big role in making up the tune. As engine speed increases, so can the demand for more advance. An engine spinning 5000RPM max, might want 30* of total timing, but a similar setup spinning 6000RPM might want 34*.
The 800sc only ran 28* total. But it was also a longer stroke engine, running 8lbs of boost, with a max engine speed of 5000ish. The 525SC, ran 35* total timing, but was a shorter stroke running less boost.
I've been running 32 and 34* on my 9:1, 4'' stroke engines with 6psi at 5700RPM, with afr around 11ish at wot. I would not attempt that with an RV cam and propped for 5000RPM with my engines.

Morning, this will be my last post about this as i am not in any competition w anyone. Ok spoke w him an here we go:
it was 6.5lb w 34* which made 960. I was told it would make close to 1000 w some more boost prob have to splash the fuel i guess.. then he took boost out of it made it 5.5lbs at 34* made 909. that is where he did all final testing w that boost. then took alittle timing out an thats what he wants me to keep. Oh and compression is over 9 .Now all you engine guys out there i dont know what to say i guess i made all these #s up. Now i only wish it was warm enough to go prop test.
Have a great holiday everyone.

Thanks Mild Thunder, I didn't realize that your static compression was at 9:1, what gas do you run? Have you been on vacation? Haven't seen you on here for a bit.

he has been on a work vacation,lol.his new job including drive time makes for a 11 hour day.he burns 93 oct fuel and i believe boost is about 6 lbs.his 468s make right at 800 hp.timing is 33 or 34 total.he has 3 years on these engines and they run like they did when fresh,they don,t even burn any oil.

So MT's motors make 1.71 HP per cube at 6#'s. no chiller, and a B&M blower. Zul's 540 makes 1.78 per cube at 6.5#'s with a better blower, solid roller, good heads, etc.
Where is all the controversy coming from? Because of .07hp per cube? Seems reasonable to me.
