If most of the new power is from addnl boost, it would stand to reason that pushed to the limit boost wise, ie.. pullying down, it won`t make much more power than the previous model if both are pushed to their max safe boost level. Stock for stock big diff but both modded to max safe boost might not be that much difference.
The Trinity engine is nowhere near maxed out from the factory. The current 5.4L engines regularly manage over 800HP at the crank without issue. The blower is a bigger TVS than previous generations and make about 15 lbs of boost. There's easily 4-5 more pounds of boost to be had safely with a smaller blower pulley/larger crank pulley.

Right, but the question was a medium blue.. In my eyes, the Grabber is more Medium than Deep Impact.

Why would you? Granted, it needs to be moved to the "other car" section instead of sitting in the Camaro vs. area, but what would move you to delete the thread?
