It would cost him even more money but it would be a great data point in trying to answer the question of whether a too free flowing exhaust negatively effects the actual numbers when SCing.

syperchargers have been used in racing for more than 60 years now. Have you ever seen a dragsters that they put cats or some other form of increased exhaust restriction on it for the sake of making
More power?

Those are almost exclusively roots types. I'm not saying I agree, just that this rumor has been seen for years and I've even seen some manufactureres allude to a too unrestricted out flow. I can't figure out why this would be but both SC applications seem to have a occational problem when the standard exhaust was changed. Might be coincidence, might not. Just an easy way to find out as it's the most significant delta in his car.

phimosis has headers and hfc and his hp is 421 and hes is running 93 octane still shy of the 438 advertised by stillen. He also has the orignal 9lb pully. Rcz is also running hfc and headers.
Got the car back today and runs way better. Has lots of power down low but sucks up high. Just doesnt seem worth the money to gain 74 hp. I think my car is going to make a trip down to stillen to either get the tune down or remove the supercharger and get my money back. Im not looking for a dyno queen but numbers close to stillens would be nice since thats what i paid for. By the way i know your reading this stillen. Do the right thing and fix it its been over two months and over a dozen calls to u by me and my shop

Than go TT and control how much power you put down with a boost controller and be done with it

Sorry to hear about all the upsets guys RCZ has no problems why so many others?
