Respek' to Jeff.. I've been watching your build up of that 22RET for quite a while. The only thing I would have done differently is the EFI side.

Jeff is right, 200 rwhp is probably outside the range of that 22RE with a bolt on. Now, that being said, the supercharger is a positive displacement unit and it makes boost almost immediately. I haven't talked to LC about it for almost a year, but you might want to call and check for documentation and dyno runs. The TORQUE the blower put out was instant and very impressive, if I recall right - 50% more at 5-6psi. If nothing else, it will feel like a lot more power in a range where you can use it every day.

For peak power, a turbo is the way to go as it's not parasitic- IE - it doesn't require crank HP to turn the belt.

Another thing, you won't see 8psi on pump gas without doing some timing and more likely A/F control.

Alternatives for a good budget blown motor:
Use RET pistons (much lower compression)
use a RET head w/ stock pistons (somewhat lower compression)
Timing control (something like MSD-6AL BTM)
Water injection

Again, I don't know how LC is doing fuel control on the EFI unit.

I haven't dyno'd my junk yet... I'll get around to it one day, but my compression is very low - 7.8:1 EST. I can run 87 octane and 10-11 psi, stock timing, no pinging at all. There is probably another 25 HP in my motor if I could increase the boost efficiently.
