Not disappointed at all, 40lbsft at the wheels is around 50lbsft at the crank, and that's about the numbers that Vortech got too. Remember one thing, unlike a turbo, it's not building maximum boost until higher rpms and after all, it's only a 8psig supercharger. If you read about those turbo numbers from the currently available kit, they were using ice water in the intercooler, running 10psig, and other things that were not necessarily mentioned. Not a fair comparison. Yes the turbo will produce more torque, but I would like to see a fair head to head comparison. That said, I can't complain about lack of horsepower now.
