 The number one thing I get asked 90% of time the number one question is how much boost Can the torque storm supercharger make a blessed day? today We are gonna talk about a subject that gets brought up a lot And a handful of questions that I get asked also Across my social media platforms, and that is gonna be Superchargers we're gonna talk mainly about the torque storm supercharger But we're gonna talk about boost and power and goals and before we get started guys, please Scroll down hit that like button thumbs up button and if you're not subscribed to the channel Please hit that subscribe button, especially if you're in the mo powers racing Mods are just overall anything to do with cars or trucks. I'm sure you'll find something on the channel that you're gonna like the number one thing I get asked 90% of time the number one question is how much boost Can the torque storm supercharger make and or how much power it puts down? Yada yada yada, so this is nothing that is Hidden or not easy to find if you go to torque storms website. You will see in their supercharger descriptions depending on the Single kits or the twin kits you will see That they advertise a single supercharger kit to make Around 750 horsepower plus Now Does that mean you're only gonna build you're only going to be able to make seven or 750 or 800 horsepower with a single Torque storm supercharger. No, there's a lot more To it than just The supercharger itself the overall build or vehicle or set up the entire package Is what's going to determine how much horsepower you make or how fast your car goes down a quarter mile or Truck for that matter. There's more to it. All right everybody wants to know How much boost can I make can I make 20 psi? Can I make 18? Can I make 15? You know yada yada yada Well Simply said boost numbers does not matter, okay For the majority of people and for most builds a boost number Doesn't mean jack, okay So, you know, whether you have a car that makes 10 psi or a car that makes 15 psi The 10 psi car can just as easily wax gap or just straight crush a 15 psi car Okay, just because This guy's got more boost pressure than this guy doesn't mean that, you know, just because the guy with the more boost is gonna Automatically be faster automatically when a race That it's not how it works again the overall package the overall build the whole thing is what is going to determine How the vehicle performs for a single Torque storm supercharger? I can tell you right now that there is many vehicles out there making over 700 horsepower on a single kit There's cars out there making Upwards to over 800 horsepower plus on a single supercharger kit And it doesn't take insane boost numbers to be able to do that Again, it goes into the whole package, you know cam choice other bolt-on mods You know converters transmissions gearing There's just so much more to it than just okay I'm gonna take a vehicle. I'm gonna throw a supercharger on it and I want 15 pounds of boost I want to make you know 900 horsepower. It's not how it's gonna work Majority of the people that is in the boost game is gonna understand what I'm saying here But if you're brand new to it and you're shopping superchargers and you are shopping between Superchargers that say okay, they can make This one can make up to seven or 800 horsepower. This one can do a thousand plus this one can do 1500 plus so That's mainly what we're gonna talk about Now I can tell you right now that there is a huge huge huge difference and amount of money that you're going to invest in a vehicle that starts to get past the 700 800 horsepower range when you start getting up above that level You're gonna be investing so much more money in transmissions to be able to take the power rear ends axles Engine modifications to be able to take all the extra power suspension upgrades Clutch upgrades. I mean it goes on and on and on and on Lots and lots of extra money is gonna be Needed to ever go to that power range or above it So this is where I say What is your goal for your vehicle? What what are you wanting to do with it? What's your goals? How do you plan to use it? That's the first thing you need to ask yourself Before you even start shopping or looking for a supercharger or some or some form of boost Regardless, is this vehicle gonna be? your daily driver is this vehicle only gonna be a race car and it's gonna be trailer or Perhaps it's gonna be a you know a still a street legal car but 90% of its time it's gonna be sitting and it's gonna be going to a racetrack other 10% of time It may just sit in a driveway and be a toy so That's what you got to decide on. Okay. Do you want a do you want a daily driver? Do you want to be reliable? You know, do you want to try to keep costs down? Do you want to put a ton of money? in the vehicle and upgrading transmissions upgrading rear ends upgrading Engine parts. Okay, if this is going to be a Is this gonna be a daily driver slash a street strip? car Vehicle Where you may daily this car or if you're not daily in it you may drive this car a lot But you're gonna be driving it to the drag strip and you're gonna be racing it on the weekends Okay, so that's the case What's your goals in? Quarter-mile times or whatever it is you're doing all right Let's come up with an idea of how fast you want to try to make this car a lot of people's goals Is they want to try to get a car, you know down into say the 10 second range You know the 10 set the 10 second 11 second range is a fun little area to be in You know a 10 second vehicle is gonna be a very stout vehicle that can compete in a lot of different classes or Racing and be able to hang with a lot of other fast vehicles out there on the roads today now When you start getting faster than this 10 second mark, you're gonna run into another issue You're gonna start getting to power levels where you're gonna have to start upgrading things to be able to take the power That you're putting on this car not only that you're gonna be investing More money and the safety equipment to build it even race this vehicle on the track as a lot of vehicles Or look as a lot of tracks once you start getting faster than 10. Oh's They're gonna start requiring you to have say roll cages You know like battery shutoffs safety loops different seat belts and or seats You know they really start cracking down on the cars a lot more when you start When you start crossing over Into that zone so then again you have to ask yourself Okay, is that is that where I want to be or you just trying to make a nice fun vehicle to drive to work Go hit the track on the weekends You know build a compete and run and lots of different race classes Have a 10 second car 11 second car 12 second car whatever it is and that's a very very fun Section to be it a 10 a 10 11, you know an 11 second a 10 second vehicle is a blast. Okay. It's gonna compete It's gonna be able to hold its own out there on the road for the most part It's gonna be a fun car. It's gonna be peppy. It's just gonna be a fun car overall And you'll be in that power range. You know for instance, I'm gonna for example I'm gonna use like like say let's say a hell cap All right you know most your bone stock hellcats are gonna get out there to the track majority of them that I see and They're gonna be out there running, you know mid deep 11's Better drivers may be cracking off some you know some some 10s mid 10 somewhere in there if they're if they're running on a tire per se and That's pretty cool. I mean if you got say a 5-7 or a 392 car Or whatever And you can throw, you know a little supercharger on it Go out there and run 10s and 11s and be able to hang with these guys and compete And kind of make it like a driver's race, you know It's gonna be whoever gets out the hole first gets better traction, you know, who has the better setup overall like I said Not necessarily who has the most boost or the most horsepower Whoever has the best setup that's who's gonna win the race on the drag strip All right, I see it time and time again. I've done it to many many many people myself Incredible himmy a lot of you guys follow his channel as well with his truck, you know Me and him is not making tons of horsepower guys By no means but our trucks 60 foot they hook up they go I can tell you right now unless you have a Super significantly faster vehicle sleep at the light Or you spend a little bit or something with a car that makes a little more power You got no shot We're already gonna be at the finish line Before you started making up for that big mile an hour, so and it comes in the setup But what I'm getting that guys is you may not need a $10,000 supercharger, okay Why do you need a $10,000 supercharger that says it can make a 1,000 or 1,500 horsepower Or whatever if you're never going to use it and this goes to the question I asked What are you going to do with this car? Are you going to build it make 1500 horsepower and drive it to work and expect it all to be hunky-dory? negative ghost rider that may work out for a little while, but a Vehicle like that. You're going to be putting wrenches on it almost every day It's not going to be very street comfortable You start getting over to that zone and that's when you're starting to creep into the trailer Queens You're starting to creep into this is a weekend toy. This is a race car that sort of thing So again unless you ever plan on going to that that far with it, or you're trying to go past 10s Or something like that You don't need a 10 $12,000 supercharger. You just don't need it You make plenty of horsepower on a single supercharger for torque storm running a decent reliable amount of boost Build a setup that works a suspension system that works and have a very reliable daily car Go to the track car go out there and compete, you know with Out of the box fast cars hillcats zeal ones You know scat packs whatever and save a bunch of money doing it biggest thing I'm saying is don't get tied up in the boost Numbers don't tell yourself. You need 18 psi boost or I want 20 psi boost I don't I don't get why people's you know, they they they look at that number I don't I don't know maybe they feel like they're in the cool club because the car makes a whole bunch of boost But it it's a turd. It goes down the track as a turd I don't know. I'm just trying to get you guys to understand, you know, get out of the boost numbers Look at look at your goals. Look at your vehicle. Look at what you're wanting to do with this thing and And build it for what you want you don't have again You don't have to have gobs and gobs of boost and One thing's for sure anytime you can make more horsepower on less boost that's a win-win and Much better overall for everything. So look at it like that, you know, I've seen dyno videos before where people start out with say a boost set up on a dyno with a particular engine or whatnot and You know, they're testing camshafts or whatever and per se on this camshaft Maybe they they they spiked out or they peaked out at like 18 pounds of boost They tried a different camshaft maybe with a little less overlap or whatever and then they noticed boost pressure peak Dropped down to say 15 psi, but the car picked up 50 horsepower across the board so You're gonna argue with that lower boost More horsepower because they changed something that was bet that was overall better for the engine the engine liked it better than having more boost So that's what I say again Don't get tied up thinking that you have to have as much boost as this guy down the street Or whatever build what you want build what you like Build what's gonna work for you in your budget. That's all that matters And for many of you guys that follow the channel, all right my truck frostbite that's a 2011 Ram RT regular cab pickup truck All right, I'm gonna go over it real quick for you guys and we are I mean literally We're like a fart away or I could I mean that I could have threw the owner's manual out of the glovebox Going down the track the other day and We would have went into the tents That's how close we are. I just got to get the time to get down to the track and Just make it happen But my truck, all right, we ran The other day in 11008 at 121 miles an hour All right, this is a pickup truck full weight full interior I Had seats in the truck granted. I do have racing seats so they're lighter seats But I have full interior door panels carpet radios or excuse me the radios in the truck that Speakers door speakers. It's a stereo system headliner. Everything's in the truck. This is a 100% Drive it down to the grocery store vehicle Granted we're on tires. We got skinnies up front. We got drag radials in the back We got a very good working suspension setup right now on the truck But We have a stock block 57 hemi with stock pistons stock rods stock crankshaft stock heads stock throttle body All right stock engine We are running the Holley high-ram Intake manifold on it with a single torque storm supercharger and are cooled. I'm running meth injection. We're running MS 109 fuel. I Don't make a whole bunch of boost mainly because I'm we're trying to keep it somewhat mellow because it is a stock block 5-7 hemi and we all know the pistons in the himmys are Not good and I have been racing this truck for Over two years now one year. We raced it on nitrous this whole entire year we've been racing it on boost now just a supercharger and The engine just keeps holding on. I mean it just keeps holding on but that goes into tuning fueling The setup everything it all works as a package, but So we have a we have a four thousand pound plus pickup truck that is Pretty much a 10-second truck now the amount of boost that we're peaking If I look at one of my data logs on that fast on the fastest past it We just ran We peaked over just slightly over 10 pounds of boost and yeah, some of you guys are gonna be like That's a lot of boost on a stock hemi and it is you know eight psi is kind of like the golden zone So there's no doubt. We are crossing that line And I fully understand that and understand the consequences if something happens And again, that's what you know, that's why we're we're trying to blanket it as much as we can with good fuel meth injection and tuning and That's that's what it that's you know, that's what's working right now I'm trying to I'm trying to run The fastest time I can this year on a stock block 57 engine Before we upgrade internals or we do a stroker or something like that. That's my goals but what I'm getting at guys is You know, we're running pretty stupid numbers in a pickup truck with not a lot of boost a single supercharger from Torx storm and You know how we're popping the tires off the ground now on this on the launches Now a lot of that has to go with the transmission we got from John Cope with the trans breaking everything but moral of what I'm saying guys is The single supercharger has more than enough bump to get you to the tens and Then some all right these 800 plus horsepower cars running single superchargers There's one car That's made. I believe it's in the mid 800 horsepower range on a single supercharger and this car is running a I want to say a mid to high eight second quarter mile time right now on a single supercharger. So Again not a 10 or $12,000 supercharger and 20 pounds of boost They're doing it on one supercharger With a good setup overall and they're running eight second quarter mile times So hopefully that kind of helps you guys out and gives you a little understanding of What works? What you may need or actually need or what you could expect kind of thing But again guys it The million dollar question comes down to you And what you want this vehicle to do and what you expect out of it? I'm not telling you what to buy or what not to buy I'm telling you what's worked for me for these guys that are hunting boost numbers and big horsepower, okay? A lot of people don't know but torque storm does offer a twin supercharger kit for Majority of the vehicles out there right now an engine platform so The twin kits are capable of going you know over the fourteen fifteen hundred horsepower zone and Easily over you know easily up to the 20 and over 20 psi capabilities there's people out there making pretty stupid power on twin kits and The biggest kicker overall is a twin kit from torque storm guys All is still is still cheaper than a lot of the race version other brand superchargers a Twin kit, I believe is still around the six to sixty five hundred dollar zone I know they're under seven thousand for a twin supercharger kit that you could make stupid stupid amount of power boost with If that's your goals, you're building that all out Go get her go crush some feelings. You know race car Trailer Queen toy, whatever you want to call it The twin kits get definitely going to get you Way down there and quarter mile tops for sure and Definitely, you know if you're in the dinos and dino numbers and all that stuff You know definitely put a big number up on the dyno for you So That's another option You know you can get a twin kit Make a bunch of stupid power make a bunch of booze and still save a bunch of money compared to other brands out there Now The other thing to consider two guys is All the torque storm supercharger setups come eight rib drive Which means you get an eight rib drive belt and pulleys And all of that comes standard No, you know, no special upgrades needed no extra fees That is how they come out of the box. They're already eight rip drive No other No other supercharger out there right now That you can bolt on a hemmy All right, as far as I know or pretty much any other platform Do they calm Eight ring they all come six rip majority of all of them come six rib Except for the Hellcat Now we're not talking about that. That's a factory supercharger or whatever, but Like your whipples your pro chargers Your vortex they are all six rip drive for the cheaper supercharger setups that are gonna run you around that six to Seven ish set thousand dollar range. You're gonna get a six rip drive set up that even on low boost You're gonna be slipping belts You're gonna be probably tearing up belts or they're not gonna be lasting You're gonna have issues, especially when you start to try to turn it up and make more boost. They're gonna slip Now there's ways to fix that. There's people changing pulleys Putting on these, you know, special coated pulleys that tries to grip the belt batter Or they're cranking down these tensioners to the point where the belts are You know, you're just loading it down really bad to try to keep the belt from slipping and even then they still slip and That is where the torque storm is far superior over everything else because of the eight-rib drive setup stand I Have not experienced any belt slip on my truck at all Or on project storm that we've built Nor have I had to replace a belt yet. Now keep in mind. I've raced my truck now For well over a year and a half on the supercharger We're still on belt one All right, and belt one looks brand new No No tearing no nicks no burning Looks like a brand-new belt Absolutely flawless the other superchargers out there you can upgrade them you can upgrade to They do have most of them have an eight-rib drive set up Add on it's a lot of extra money really jacks the price up and then you have cod pulleys Setups that is even more sky-high but does offer zero belt slip And for the most part that is for guys making tremendous amount of power usually and lots and lots of boost So this is gonna be a daily or weekend warrior That's you know, we're really not even gonna get into that situation But for the amount of money you pay for a torque storm You're getting the product built here in the US. They pretty much make absolutely everything for the supercharger in Their own facility, so they have their hands on pretty much the entire package They don't have to really worry about a middleman or Anything like that. They are making their own product here in the States And it is super super super quality if you guys have not checked out some of the unboxing Videos I've done on the supercharger go check them out the the craftsmanship the materials the product overall the design Everything is just Beautiful flawless made perfectly machined perfectly and again, they make They make like 98% of it themselves They make the supercharger. They make the pulleys. They make the blow-off valve They make the brackets about the only thing they're not making is the belt the air filter. They send you The hardware bolts and nuts and stuff like that But the rest of it they're machine. They're making this. This is their dilly and All I can say is the quality is right there. It's all I can say super duper. I love mine It has done nothing but perform well for me. I am more than happy with where it's gotten a truck today And I know we still have lots more room We could grow with that supercharger and go even faster And If we ever really wanted to get insanely stupid with it We could always throw another supercharger on the other side and run a twin kit and just completely be Insane like the truck would be insane. The other thing I want to mention too is, you know, the staff at Torque Storm is just it's just awesome Chris and Chris and those guys are definitely jam up Every time I've been to an event they're you know, they're cool to talk to Cool to hang out with they're all car guys almost everybody there Had one of their superchargers on their cars and or they're racing their cars or taking them to events and you know Enjoying them playing with them what not so they're car people, you know, they get they get what we're trying to do and They make a dang good product is all I can say so Again not trying to tell you guys what to buy what not to buy just trying to inform you and educate you on What the Torque Storm supercharger is what you could pretty much expect out of it and What it can do for you. So definitely give them a shot Give them a read, you know, go check out the website look into them. Go check out some forums Check out some of my videos I have plenty of racing videos and installs on the Torque Storm This isn't a pop-up company that just like popped up all of a sudden said we're gonna make a supercharger They've been out for a while There's plenty of cars and trucks out there using them tons of builds out there Plenty of data to look into So again, it all comes down to you guys. What do you want out of your car? What do you expect out of the car? What do you want out of the build? How fast do you want to go? Is this a daily is this a race car? Answer those questions first and then look into What may work for you? But other than that guys, I hope you enjoyed the video stay tuned for more cool stuff coming up in the future And as always stay safe out there and we'll see you guys on the next one
