anderson powerpipe

I AM INTERESTED IN PURCHASING ANDERSON FORD'S POWER PIPE FOR SUPERCHARGED APPLICATIONS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ONE ON THEIR CAR& HAVE YOU SEEN 2-3PSI INCREASE OF BOOST ON YOUR CHARGER, OVER THE ORIGINAL SUPERCHARGER INLET TUBE-
LIKE THEY CLAIM
THANKS-HOPE TO HEAR FROM YA

I have a Anderson Power Pipe that I bought in November,I haven't installed it yet.

In most cases that I've seen,most cars when they add the Powerpipe,they generally see an increase of at least 1-2pounds of boost.Either way you look at it,it's still a nice add-on,because you are bringing in more cool air for the blower to work with

What kinda blower do you have?

I have one on my car but I didn't see a boost increase untill I put a smaller pulley on. When I called him and asked why I didn't get an increase he said b/c my blower was getting all the air it needed, but once I stepped up to the smaller pulley the power pipe would add extra boost, and it did.

I AM USING A PAXTON ALSO, I HAVE THE SN93 W/UPGRADED IMPELLER. I HAVENT RAN THE CAR IN A FEW YEARS, THE ENGINE IS CURRENTLY OUT-SOON TO BE PUT BACK IN FOR SPRING. THE CHARGER PUTS OUT APPROX 8PSI W/SMALLER PULLEY.
AND THE MAF IS CURRENTLY INSIDE THE FENDERWELL, BUT ITS RIGGED WITH A MAKESHIFT INLET TUBE, THATS WHY I WANT TO GET A POWERPIPE. TALK TO YA SOON

Just put one on but I've not gotten the car out of the garage yet to see if there is more boost. I know this doesn't answer your question, sorry -- but for the people that are getting ready to add one, it says in the directions to remove the blower. You don't have to, that sucker can be put in up thru the inner fender. You might already know this, I know I haven't seen it or read it anywhere before, but I know I didn't want to take the head unit back off. Maybe it will help somebody.

I'm going to buy one for my ATI. Anderson says it does give 1-2 lbs., but it's less beneficial on an ATI than a Vortech. Go figure.

i had one on my vortech a trim and did see an increase in boost by 2..now i have it on my s trim and have not noticed any increase but it is worth having because of the race bypass.
good luck

What all did you do to increase the boost on your Paxton? I know the 4 1/4 inch pulley produces 5-pounds of boost,while the smaller 4 inch pulley produces around 7lbs of boost.Also are you running a oil cooler for your Paxton?
