I received my kit and noticed the air restrictor in the inlet tube of my Novi 2000. I have spoken to many people who have removed this, most see an increase up to 10-11# of boost. I called Paxton, they told me on the stock 8.5# pulley I should see 12-14# of boost without the restrictor, I think this would be on a Cobra at like 7000 rpm, but I have heard some people with GT's reporting 12# and more without the restrictor. My most reliable source had a bone stock 2000 GT (5-speed), he removed the restrictor and says he sees 10#, he dyno'd the car on Paxton's overly conservative (safe, but very rich) tune and pushed 353rwhp and 344 rwtq. He then added catted x-pipe and Steeda cat-back and dyno'd 380rwhp, restrictor removed on Paxton's chip with the supplied 30# injectors even and stock maf. I could sure use some OPINIONS, ADVICE, and especially EXPERIENCE with this. I will be installing the blower the week of 12/15 when i have a an extra car to go up and back to work when I ship my EEC to Paxton. *** Last, but not least, Has anyone else noticed all the discrepancies on what power this kit makes between Paxton's site and all the supercharger vendors sites - For example, flywheel #s - Paxton says 360hp and 370tq, Superchargersonline.com 452hp 459 tq and 360rwhp and 400 rwtq, superchargers4less 452hp 449 tq. More confusing, Paxton rates the Novi 1000 at 360hp and 390tq, very confusing. Check out their #s for all the different years also. Thanks all, Howard.
