I want to move to Texas though now there is a good place to live. I think i'd want to be in the north eastern area of the state. Way better than Cali any day.

We pay to play - just like w/ the cars we drive

Well, I can tell you where I like to live, and that's inside my 370z, and what I want to live in it, is a freaking supercharger! can we stay on topic please

If anyone has any Ideas about design, cost, power, etc. regarding the SUPERCHARGER, please post it now, less then a week and the car goes in for development, would be great to give some feedback to the Vortech engineers.

As easy as it gets to install, yet the charged air should flow as freely as possible. Minimize cutting in the engine bay.

Inter cooler., when they get to the stage to the size or where to place it. Let them keep in mined that most (if not all) will have an engine oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator.

Cost wise.it really deepens on the HP goal. The VQ37VHR that comes in our cars. comes stock with a 370cc injectors (some one correct me if I'm wrong) those injector will almost max out with full blot on's.

Will Vortec just build the kit and sell it with out a fuel solution. or throw in bigger injector's, fuel regulator, or a fuel pump.

More HP = More $$

Engine bay cutting

I was thinking the same thing on the oil cooler, I was considering installing one this last weekend, but figured they would want to test the car as is. There is no doubt that the supercharger will generate more heat, so looks like an oil cooler will be a must. We'll have to see. Thanks for the input

People that live in California will tell you that despite it's shortcomings with taxes and real estate prices and all, that they still love California and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I moved to SoCal from Seattle 8 years ago and I would never want to leave. I've been to 27 countries and every state in the US. California is simply the nicest place in the world to live. That's also why is has the highest population and largest economy of any US state.

Buddy Revell · 09-06-2009, 12:55 PM

How did this become a pro/anti California thread? Let's get back on topic.

G37Sam · 09-06-2009, 01:57 PM

They better make this fit on the G37!

Togo · 09-06-2009, 09:43 PM

Just tell them to go big or go home...

I'd like to see 500, 550, even 600 RWHP!

My guess is they'll only do 100 whp extra with the supercharger if they're doing CARB. I definitely would want one...

...then I think I could just spend all that money on a ton of track time, tires, and brakes. The problem with more power is that, if you use it as god intended (on the track), then you need brake upgrades, possibly more oil cooling, bigger wheels and tires, a new differential, yadda yadda... The smarter move would be to get a Z06, but then I'm not really into the 'vettes...

Decisions, decisions. I think ultimately more power matters less than track time, but I guess if you have a big enough budget, you can do both...

man if only Cali weren't involved in performance parts there would be no such thing as "waiting for CARB certification"
