Per Andrew, it is NOT my car. Kaien is correct. It is the G37. But still, holy sh!t!! Man, I need to quit taking such big breaks from the boards. I miss all of the good stuff.

Will the engine need to be upgraded
with forged internals? I know the engine is rated at 550 tq, this car will be my daily driver, if I need to buy something to make it more reliable then I will.

Sam,

Congrats on the latest test info. You guys rock. I may come across as grumpy sometimes, but damn, I would have never expected this. I don't think I will need the VVEL control after all. :p May have to invest in the traction control now. WOW!! Keep up the good work and I will call you next week. Take care bud, hope the beer was cold!! Cheers...:tup:

Call Sam, he is the best source of info. But, according to him, no.

Drinking some bailey's and kahlua white russians in you guys honor.

NewYorkJon34 05-21-2011 12:40 AM

Ya, I'm gonna call him tmr on my lunch break, I'm still amazed & excited knowing I'll be owning this amazing kit. Ya, Racelogic might be needed, but $2300 ouch, lol

dixon cider 05-21-2011 12:41 AM

I was just kidding. I'm not tracking the car, so I won't need it for now.

Couple things here to keep in mind,Good and bad

Good-Supercharge system makes less torque, abrupt torque is what is relay hard on the engine, so having the linear power and torque curve is easier on the engine then a TT set up

Bad- The engine on a supercharger will always work harder to get the same power then a TT set up .

500 + RWHP on a super charger is a lot of power for sure but there is couple things that you can do to minimize the tear and wear like running a larger pulley and not redlining the engine all the time .

Sam

Grumpy is under statement :D Its all good, i Know it is slow process but the rewards are big.

Traction control is a must right now, it is going to be a fun car .
