hp gains on a ported blower
I will be able to gauge some kind of realistic numbers in about a month or two. I have a spare M62 supercharger at my house I am sending out for a real port and polish. Going to keep the same 2.7 pulley from my other supercharger and run before swap and after it before tuning on the dyno. After the first two runs I will dyno tune for the third and forth run to give an idea on power numbers and IAT2 temps.
Hope this helps.

I have a dyno setup all ready to go. I got one baseline, I'll be getting another one once my header is done (i have the intake and exhaust on also), 1 after stge 2, and then I want a ported blower to take on there. My only problem is getting my hands on another Supercharger to have ported as I don't wanna port my stock one. As soon as I can get one, I'll have a Dyno # up here.
A cobra heat exchanger to my knowledge isnt to lower your iats, but to fight heat soak by having a seperated core that is self cooled by air, then re-circulatd thru the rest of your intercooler system.
My approximate iat2 temps were 140 to 155 at the very highest.
once the porting was done, i dropped roughly 10 - 18 degrees.
I also added the dual pass endplate to my intercooler system as well.
Now my iat2 temps never get any higher than 125...ever.
Another reason to port the blower, less pressure bieng built up in the cylinders.
you do lose boost according to your boost gauges, but your still moving the same amount of air, your just doing it with less restriction, making it a tad easier on your engine.
I was at 17.5 psi, im now at 13.85 according to hptuners. Am i any slower?
Someone said they actually raised boost thru porting thier blower...i cant see how they managed that, but it may only mean that there double stacking. thats building pressure upon pressure upon pressure. Acts like a clogged up cat. Whoever that is, i sure hope it isnt true.
Anyways my conclusion porting the blower (THE RIGHT WAY!!!) ftw!!!
Oh shameless plug, for all your ported blower needs, contact Euthanasia, awesome work, price, guy, everything. You will not be dissappointed!
a stock ss/sc has 205HP at the crank as far as official factory numbers.
Normally, to get the Wheel horsepower (WHP) you have to calculate in drivetrain loss
which would probably bring it down to about the number he is saying.
Crank HP, is the horsepower created by the engine,
wheel horsepower, is the horsepower measured by a dyno, that includes losses due to drivetrain.
in the real world....the ss/sc was very underrated from the factory, mainly for insurance purposes...
In reality, the ss/sc dynos between 205-225 at the wheels.
which would suggest a crank horsepower around the 240 mark.
Hope that helps.
Funny, i thought there was another Shab at the redline forums....oh well.

A Cobra HE is a good idea to prevent heat soak. But, having heat soak does raise your IAT's. Steigemeier ported my blower before I had an interceptor to monitor those numbers with, and I didn't manage to go to a dyno before or after the work, so I can't give a very good comparison, I can only say that my IAT2's rarely go over 125-130 on hot days when I am beating the crap out of the car, and if they do, it is literally for only seconds.
