Ive heard that if you remove the vband on the compressor you can get more power out of the 42r? Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. I know there isnt a lot of guys here running it, but figured id ask.

Picture:

 

that makes no sense to me why?

What you've just said made absolutely no sense.

More like you were referring to the anti-surge/ported shroud compressor housing at the turbo inlet. Yes, you gain power, but it's not an easy task. I'd worry about the anti-surge after you maxed out that turbo (900+ HP) and want more.

so they are just machining down the antisirge shroud? hmm i wonder if i could find a picture of that.

 

No they weld a velocity stack in the inlet which reduces the turbulence caused by the anti-surge slots.
