I don't mean to stir the ire of true forced induction types, but I wanted to ask compressor heads about my application.
My custom sports car will be Contour powered, 2.5L from 95. I won't modify the engine to start except for the intake plumbing and filter, and a low restriction exhaust.
The body of this car is sleak, and I will build air scoops behind the side windows (it's mid-engine) with an area of roughly 84 inches each, out in the clean air. Both sides will feed a common plenum with the engine air filter in it.
I realize there's not much pressure involved, but wild guess is between a half pound and two pounds at highway speed. So based on the bottom of the curves you compressor types have real knowledge of, will the stock metering range handle this? It's like going a bit below sea level if you want to think of it that way. Just causually, do you think there's maybe 10 HP there?
Thanks, and appologies in advance where needed,
