I understand a blower will normally increase power between 1.5 and 1.75hp per ci at 5psi boost. So by example, if a blower @ 5psi adds 1.5hp per ci to a 281, you can expect 421hp (281 x 1.5). The eforce blower claims to improve performance of a 281 @ 5psi to 466 which using this equates to 1.65hp per ci (466/281).
So, if you install a stroker crank/rods to take ci to 322, it seems logical to say that you could expect the first blower to give you 483hp (322*1.5) and, then, 322*1.65 equalling 531hp for the Edelbrock?
Then, how can I calculate the above scenarios to account for an increase in boost to say 8 then 12, 15 PSI?
Or is it simply a case of trawling manufacturrers published dyno charts...this is laborious, it'd be nice if I could have in my mind 1.5 - 1.75 at 5, x @ 8 and Y @ 12 etc, any ideas?
