Maybe they wont be able to change the vvel much. I would think that it shouldnt be much harder than rewriting other programs I would think, but I could very well be wrong.

If this kit could produce 100 rwhp and it was 5 to 5.5 grand I would say it would be "acceptable". If it were 6500 or more than it would have to add 150 rwhp or close or otherwise most people are going to likely spend a little more and go TT or do nothing at all. I don't think I am alone here either, I suspect many others are still on the fence between a supercharger and a TT.
I have pretty much made up my mind on installing a TT kit. I am for the most part just lurking the supercharger threads out of mere curiosity.

I am not looking for a cheap solution, I am just saying if this kit costs 6000 grand or more and doesent deliver over 100 rwhp, it isnt going to sell. 5K just came to mind becasue when I had my 350Z I could have gotten a supercharger kit for 5K for a bit under 100rwhp gain. I am not trying to be a total dyck on here, I am just being realistic. Its simple economics.

less than $7000 + 450whp is what I'm praying for with supporting mods of course. Sure a TT will get you 500whp but not the gobs of torque the SC's will give you.

Then 513 --413 91 oct.... Your also comparing one SC compressor to two TT compressors..... Twin turbos spool faster and creat less lag than a single turbo.If the TT only came with one Turbo then I am pretty sure the SC kit will dust it.... I asked sam how much PSI can the rotrex unit put out...I am pretty sure if it puts out 13 psi of boost, the HP level will be more than we need (probably close to a 9 or 8 psi TT setup)... Let me check out the SC dyno chart....one sec. |
