The CFM flow on the 10 psi 3" would be much larger hence more power despite both being at "10 psi" hence psi is a tough way to determine power output of a setup. And I am not even touching on the differences tuning make. If I had first hand experience I would try to answer your question in a specific way but coming from me would be all speculation.


thats why i said just a general list. Obviously, anyone who followed it and said i have X setup, now i'm running 260hp would be a fool. Each and every car differs, even if running the exact same equipment. Hence why frostbite ran 14s in the 1/4 mile w/ minimum mods...

thats why i said GENERAL.....







GENERAL!

Edit: superwhite.... thats alot of $s
