Ron.Strasser Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would be surprised if it was much more the 1/2 a second. Not enough time for the blower to start producing boost and the lower compression to start with. Hence less horsepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
