CARB = California Air Resources Board. They may have something in CT as well, but CARB certification would be useless because it's only for the state of Cali.

Forget the dyno numbers for a second. How does it feel?

 

thing feels like a beast. i love the way it feels. you coming over here anytime soon? I'm thinking of going there for the next car show if you keep me up dated. i have yet to get in a show this year

 

what gear was it dyno'd on? like people have said....no baseline. at this point a trip to the drag strip maybe more of a better indicator than a dyno with no baseline. even though, it's still around 50whp more than vortech'd DE 350zs made which claimed 412hp at the fly.

 

Excellent question.. the difference between stock and supercharged is a NIGHT AND DAY difference.. lol

Dynos are different, numbers are different, cars are different.. but this kit transforms the car into something else.

And there is plenty of room in the kit to chase higher horsepower numbers, this is the bolt-on kit..

 

A little tweaking and you'll be just fine.

We just cruised 12 G's up there for the show this past weekend and had a blast. Drove 2222 and a couple of other twisties.

There's this coming up weekend after next in Houston:

There's a cupcake meet in Dallas on 7/10 (same day as the meet in Houston):
CCM 7 | July 10th, 2010 | Dallas, Texas

I'll keep my ears open and PM you if I hear of anything coming up down this way.

 

So you're saying Josh that if I throw this kit on my car, have the complimentary bolt-ons, get a proper tune, and put the lower rear end gear in, that I'll need to put something under my accelerator pedal to keep from losing the back end?

 

thanks man. i have already though of getting a new pully. But don't get me wrong i am not ever giving up the SC. when i was driving it, it was great. Oh and the sound blew my mind. Sounds so good. I will try to get DROID videos of it

 

LOL.. some things in life are hard to guarantee.. this one is not.

Actually we've had many the internal talks within STILLEN, with a little concern to inform supercharger owners to consider taking some driving courses, so they can get familiar with more advanced driving situations.

At ~375-430whp.. that's significantly more power than most have had under their control, and can get you into trouble quickly if not prepared.

That being said.. IF prepared.. what a ridiculously fun ride.

 

I blew a tire on Sat that is why i never met up with you guys lol. It was like a flat head screw driver went threw my tire

 

^ I like em and i bet its a ton of fun to drive. So with the 5AT and the 7AT done. I havent seen a 6 speed manual done but then i dont know how the manual gearing changes from 08-09-10 or was that the first one you did at Stillen?

 

I'm a believer that dyno numbers do not always matter... if it is fun to drive, and you can feel its fast, then what else really matters? Congrats Whiddles, and perhaps you may see some extra power squeezed out of that super charger from UPREV.

 

370 whp is lots of power already. Trying to squeezed every ounce of power out of a high compression SC motor is just asking for new internals. All sensors better be working before pushing for dyno numbers.

 

Guys! Forget about the numbers. This thing is so fun to drive. I opened it up this morning and man I tell you, I'm losing traction throughout 1st to 3rd gear. My slip light kept turning on when I'm going into boost. Numbers will always vary from car to car bases, what mods you have etc.

 

^spot on. it's not just about the numbers!!

you also have to remember that each dyno will read differently...two dynos could be as much as 30-40 hp difference depending on how low/high they read.

have fun driving the car, that's what matters. when you get into a pure track car, then start worrying about every HP/TQ you can squeeze out of it

 

Exactly , forget numbers you have a Supercharged G enjoy it
