Nismo feels SLOW! :(

Which supercharger? Your number seems a little low considering the amount of supporting mods you need to do the build right. Hell, some of the supercharger kits alone are pretty close to the 8k mark.

6200 plus the install for a stillen. Are there others out there that will perform just as good for 3 to 5k?

EagleTime

Stillen seems to be the most popular and good performance. Im not sure what that 0 to 60 would be or how much torque it would give me.

Chuck33079

Stillen is in no way the most popular. It's not even in the same category as all the other kits. The only thing they have going for them is a CARB certification, and you don't live in CA. 0-60 isn't going to change much regardless of which kit you buy. You're going to be limited by traction. SCs generally produce far less torque than a turbo setup making the same whp.

No, but the Stillen kit is by far the least bang for your buck you can find. The "662hp" Stillen kit had a lot more done to it than just the kit, I'll wager. GTM makes some better SC kits. Are you dead set on a SC? GTM has a MHI turbo kit that's fairly reasonable. A budget of 3-5k is just not enough for the total build.

GTM seems to be the most popular. Fast Intentions just recently finished up with their TT and it looks clean.

I would go with any SC or Turbo kit. I want to make the car 0-60 in the low 4 sec range and have crazy torque aka.. make it feel like a monster like my old corvette. Soooo 10k my budget better be im guessing lol

Chuck33079

If it's torque you want, you want turbos. The GTM MHI kit is in your price range, but budger another few thousand for the supporting mods. Then install and tune. If you get out under 10k I'd be shocked. Set aside more than than that so you don't have to cut corners. 0-60 might actually be slower than stock since you can't really launch it as well.

Also, lowering the 0-60 is not just about slapping on a SC or TT. You will need to look at tires and suspension, and work on learning to balance the power with the cars dynamics.

The only mod that's going to make more than a tenth of difference is going to be a set of DOT radials or slicks. A boosted Z is hard to launch without leaving a nice long 11 on the pavement.

The Elise is not slow. 0 to 60 4.5. Its not vette fast but not slow.

Why do you guys feed the troll? Ignore and it will disappear...

Chuck33079

A stock C6 has 430hp/424trq and weighs a little less than the Nismo. 80 hp is a little more than a slight difference. Of course the Nismo is going to feel slow in comparison. A base C6 can run high 11s with a good driver.

oh i thought it was only 400. at the crank. thats not TOO much more, but yeah we have all seen that 600hp Z on here get spanked by a porche with only 80 or so more hp so i guess it does make a huge difference.
