torque is the problem and this blower produces very little torque (in comparison)

Haha, out partying hard last night? Just woke up at 1pm? I wish I could do that.
I won't be dissapointed with 190, cause I'll still tell people it's 200. And the drivetrain loss on our trannies (manual) is about 25-30%, so that's about 250 crank, which is plenty to brag about on a stock 130 hp car

200WHP at 4.5psi sounds DAMN good to me! Have you thought of looking into different pulleys to sell for more psi? I know your going to have different ones for manual and automatic but I'm talking ones for people with forged motors and such to run BIG numbers? J/W because im curious to see how far these numbers can go.

oh I can have any pulley you want made. Thats not the problem...the problem is finding someone who wants to push the limits of the blower. I've said ti before but I'll provide as much air as you guys think you can support with fuel and engine strength.

Just in case you didn't know rear wheel drive cars have a greater loss because it has farther to go to get to the ground. But if he has 550 whp then he doesn't have 760 crank, more like 600-620.
