I know I've been taken the wrong way. I have to feel the person out first. When you have a highly modified car it attracts, not only those with knowledge, but the idiots. And you get some of the stupidest questions and comments and sometimes it get frustrating. So sometimes you come off wrong.

But I can tell you one thing that I've learned about cars... It's never the car that has the stigma; IE: Mustang owners or Vette owners or Honda owners. It's the owner.

Yeah I can see how I came off wrong. I mentioned GTM Stage 2.5 supercharged and that seemed to do it. I was planning on going Stage 2 with extra blower-assist mods on top of that. So I sort of unofficially called it 2.5 lol.

This is exactly what happened here.
Synak when you come up talking a bunch of sillyness about stages and things, people tend to think you dont know what you are talking about. Hence why the conversation didnt last very long.

I was standing right there when you told him the 2.5 kit came with a custom tune and injectors... Some of the information you were throwing out was a little off base, and honestly I dont think I would have taken you seriously either. You told him the 2.5 comes with a "Custom tune" and a few other things... Most people that are doing these modifications tune their car regardless of the stage.

The stage 2.5 kit doesnt exist... Anyone can buy a blower and piece together GTM parts.

I am pretty sure you were confused about the other white nismo because it doesnt have the bbk lol.

The tune, injectors, heat exchanger, etc I was referring to were just random mods that came out of my mouth. What I meant by 2.5 was that it was the 2 with upgrades beyond what came with the kit like some of the things I mentioned above. Everyone knows a supercharger's worst enemy is heat. Wouldn't want to get heat-soaked especially in Texas. I do admit I came off fast like I probably didn't know what I'm talking about. In reality though I do have a bit of experience with superchargers. I had a 06 Cobalt SS before this with 320whp, which is hard to do with the stock S/C. That's just another reason I'd rather go S/C than T/C. Not to mention it's cheaper and easier to install DIY.
