Have you seen bolt on dynos? With LTH, exhaust, intakes, and a tune you get enough power that anything under 400 whp would just about make this pointless.

It's not just about peak power, it's also about low-end and mid-range torque. Although a tuned naturally-aspirated VQ can put up solid peak numbers, it won't be able to hang with a forced induction kit (even a centrifugal SC-based one) in the rpm ranges where most street-driven cars are at most of the time.

Initial tuning has begun things are going well over all, i did have to stop due to a bad air fuel ratio sensor on bank one yesterday .

That was replaced this morning and I'm back on the car tuning. working on mainly driveability right now and then we will start focusing on power and dyno numbers.

Also we will be adding a boost and air fuel ratio gauge to the car tomorrow to give a better idea what is the car doing while we are taking the videos .

here is couple videos we took today of the car starting and idling, the car is very quite and you can not tell there is a supercharger on it, in a matter of fact you can here the bigger injector over the the whole supercharger system .

Nice Sam, thanks for the quick vids, I think it sounds just right, you can hear it but it's not overpowering.
