Okay, guys, we're still here, and still trying to deliver the results today, even though we ran into a couple snags with the power steering system. Things are coming right along. The team will be working late on the car tonight and we'll be coming in tomorrow to finish up. Thanks for your thoughts!

Good deal.

so excited about the supercharger results. The supercharger just seems like a better fit for these engines to me. I keep checking back every hour, I can't help myself.

The funny thing is that I don't even plan to go with FI. Don't have the 100k+ annual income to justify getting one with no actual need besides I WANT IT.

Not to thread jack, but what makes you say that?

Between 0-3500 rpm there isn't much oomph is all. A super charger would fix this more then a TT for sure. Obviously if you are looking for high RPM HP increases then that is out the window. Thats why I said in my opinion, I would prefer to see a kit that would show me gains on my daily driving rather then a kit that would only really really shine on the track.

The possibility exists that in the 0-3500 RPM range this kit won't add all that much oomph either just because it's a centrifugal supercharger and not a roots or twin screw type...

Our prayers are with you Mike lol

I was looking at a sc dyno in the beginning pages in this thread and it showd the HP and TQ as being less than stock till about 5k rpms, is this normal?

TARDCORE · 01-29-2010, 10:54 PM

kinda wierd, but I have seen some people not go wot til about mid rpm on dynos which kinda ruins it.

You're looking at the dyno wrong. The blue lines are with the SC and it makes way more power and tq throughout the entire RPM range.
