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...

Seems like some peeps don't understand this.

I'm just hoping that with a kit like this and the same tuning we saw in this thread (and I have no idea what kind of tuning it was but damn holy torque balls..) GT Motorsports: GTM Stage 1 TT Tuner Kit, GTM 3" Cat Back, 583RWHP/532RWTQ then this kit will fuckin rock!!!

Give us a SC Kit with 450RWHP/RWTQ!!!

Possibility being the word. I'm pretty sure the Torque curves on the dyno will prove other wise.

fstrnldr · 01-30-2010, 09:32 AM

Regarding the "low end torque increase" A superchargers boost curve is 100% dependent on the RPM of the supercharger. So a pulley change would cause the boost to build quicker. The other side of this is that in doing so you could potentially over spin the supercharger by the cars redline. For those looking for that low end, an optional pulley could be made. Just might have to lower your rev limit a bit. Of course this is all speculation until we see what the base numbers are.

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.

This has kinda been a let down

lol... i love the sleepover comment, cause thats exactly what i did... fell asleep in this thread... but I'm back now and patiently waiting results

You guys need to remember most of the FI stuff for the Z has been custom made. It's going to take time. Believe me the last thing GTM needs is a blown car for rushing production.
