Very nice.

 

Thanks for the write up Staples. The more I see of these, the more I want...

 

I ended up paying certain portions throughout the whole process and made a few changes along the way. Thanks to Hill's for being extremely open minded like they always are and letting me make last minute decisions; gauges, exhaust, tune. I can tell you it's a lot less labor than a twin turbo setup. The hardware costs are similar between a stage 2 supercharger and stage 2 twin turbo, but you pay less down the road in labor costs.

 

Next on the agenda: Methanol and little more timing up top.

 

Wow that is awesome

 

Very nice build! congrats on the numbers. So we can say your cost for this whole set up and intall is somewhere around 12k ?

 

Sounds about right

 

Nice setup and a big +1 to Hills.Its nice to see another FI'd G in MD.

 

I wish you lived close i would love to feel this car because i have been debating between this and a turbo

 

It feels great... like I said in the review it's very easy to drive. Methanol kit goes on in two weeks, then back on the Dyno for some extra ponies.

 

WOW Nice work Staples, Question what is the part # for your plugs going higher boost on mine and lookng for 500WHP the stock plugs gotta go.

 

damn GTM makes some sexy a$$ parts!!!!! This is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

 

does it through you back in the seat like a turbo or does it just build gradually , I have owned a turbo car and been in a gt500 supercharged but it didn't wow me. Just trying to get a good feel before i drop some serious loot.

 

I'll have to look it up. I got the parts directly through GTM. I believe they might be one step colder, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks, it's quite the sleeper.

It builds gradually, but I'm able to maintain traction through second gear. It builds boost not only based upon the RPM, but also by which gear you're in. 2nd gear reaches 8.5psi, 3rd 9.5psi, 4th about 11psi where it taps out. The longer the gear, the more time the charger has to build boost.

It throws you back, but it's not overwhelming. I figured I was going to get sh*t for gas mileage, but it's actually in the mid 20s on the highway and about 14-15mpg cruising the city at slight load.

Methanol in two weeks, can't wait!

 

Thanks for the info Staples looking forward to your new numbers with meth
