Struggling to see how they get a 600bhp dyno from what apparently is a straightforward s/c kit?
Thought you might be able to tell from the pics?

Thanks

It is just possible you could get that on a centrifugal blower. Base engine is circa 320BHPso to double it would be 15PSI of boost. The blower looks big enough but it isn't running an intercooler which is generally recommended once you get over 5-7psi.
So given what they show I think 600BHP is unlikely more like 400-450. Unless it has NOS but you don't normally dyno NOS installations.
So looks like 600BHP could be a BS guess?

Hi :)

I seriously doubt two things....

First I think I would KNOW of any other 928 with Nitrous as Trev Langfield (owner of Wizards of Nos) is a friend of mine and would have told me...

Second I SERIOUSLY ALSO doubt 600 hp on a dyno... years ago with only 150 of Nitrous I only managed 505 bhp....and a blower generally has LESS power than Nitrous.... unless that 600 figure was ESTIMATED flywheel power and NOT 600 at the wheels....

All the best Brett :)
