Supercharger Specification Terminology
- Gearcase
- Std = Standard Gearcase, HD = Heavy Duty Gearcase. Heavy Duty gearcases include high-speed bearings.
- Max Speed
- Maximum recommended impeller speed (RPM - Rotations Per Minute). Recommendations are based on supercharger efficiency and gearcase configuration (Std/HD).
- Max Boost
- Highest boost pressure attainable at maximum recommended impeller speed (PSIG - Pounds Per Square Inch, Guage Pressure).
- Max Flow
- Maximum recommended airflow (CFM - Cubic Feet Per Minute). Recommendations are based on supercharger efficiency.
- Max Power
- Maximum estimated horsepower attainable within limitations of Max Flow and Max Boost. Due to our rating system, horsepower figures are a relative guide and not an absolute maximum. Horsepower data resulted from engine dyno tests and/or was extrapolated from compressor map data.
- Peak Eff
- Highest compressor efficiency per SAE J-1723 Standard.
- Inlet OD
- Outside Diameter of air inlet opening, for hose or sleeve connection
- Outlet OD
- Outside Diameter of air discharge opening, for hose or sleeve connection
- Inducer Diameter
- Inside Diameter of air inlet opening
- Outlet ID
- Inside Diameter of air discharge opening
