Another con for the BRP SC is the need to relocate the battery and do some custom work on the AC lines.

I believe the lovefab requires you to use a smaller battery and bend the AC lines a bit.

Two things that I don't consider to be the best solutions. I agree that moving the battery and replacing AC lines with custom made AC lines is a bit of a hassle, but at least it's doing it the right way IMO. Using a smaller battery probably won't hurt anything, but for those that live in colder climates, it may pose some problems with the temps dip below 0. I'm not sure I'd want to be tugging and bending on pressurized AC lines, but that's just me.

You don't pull them that far back.

Also, for either kit, you can get custom lines and get the battery relocated. The fact is that it isn't necessary for the lovefab would make it a plus.

Cody lives in Michigan which is about as cold as it gets in the USA and I'm not 100% sure but I believe he uses a hawker battery.

FYI
I started another thread related to this adding in an overboosted centrifical supercharger in the mix.

Here is an update for you guys:

Stock and Comptech curves were obtained from Comptech's website (no change from my previous posts)

The BRP numbers were obtained from their website, and are the latest and greatest. NOTE: These are AP2 numbers while the others are AP1.

The Lovefab numbers were obtained from Spoolin's dyno plots. I picked his results for a few reasons. He has one of the highest HP/PSI ratios on this forum and his max boost pressure is very similar to the other two forced induction options shown here.

The maximum boost pressure for all three kits here is between 6 and 6.5 PSI.

Keep it constructive or its punch in the face time.

I can't wait to see BRP's dyno from an AP1, but wow. That torque curve is table-flat and huge in the low-end, where no other kit makes power. The only question is whether or not it can hold that power until red line. On the AP2 it just barely begins to drop off a bit.

I've wondered the same thing. It looks as though the MP62 is running out of juice up high doesn't it? I imagine that the AP1 results will be slightly lower than the AP2 results throughout the powerband, and might even suffer a bit up high. I guess this is a question for the BRP boys, but are we nearing the end of the MP62's operating range? Can we expect further torque drop-off with an additional 800 RPM?

One a different note, literally, how prominant is the blower whine at normal engine operating speeds? Around town, highway cruising, etc. I asked a similar question on the BRP forum, but I think many people over here would like to know as well.

One thing to keep in mind here is that the BRP kit is pretty much maxed out at this point. The results are amazing, but what you see is what you get. The Lovefab kit is just getting started and the sky really is the limit.

Both kits are awesome though. No one can deny that!
