Also, you have a non-rs car so that's not going to help. With a supercharger, the power comes on as soon as you stomp on it. Not like a turbo where it kicks in at over 4000 rpm. If you still have the bf goodrich tires on, good luck.... I spin my tires through first and all I have is an intake and exhaust. With the torque you have, you'll have a heard time keeping them from spinning and launching will be tough too.
Yes he would do better than me and I will admit that. Thats why practice makes perfect or somewhat close to it. My SC kicks in around 3000RPM, it doesnt come on as soon as I stomp it. Non-RS isnt going to help... ?? Ok now you sound like your crying wolf. It might be harder than usual with the spinning of tires but I can figure out after some more time and actually a chance to get to the track...

Not true in this case... here we are talking about a centrifugal supercharger NOT a positive displacement supercharger... HUGE difference!!! A centrifugal makes max boost at max RPM! Boost comes gradually and linearly as the RPMs climb!

Don't know what kind of turbo you've driven by my twins kick in well before 4,000 RPM!! My max torque is BEFORE 3,000 RPM!!!

I enjoy this banter, as long as no one gets hurt. I think IPF, RX, and STS have put some serious money where there mouth is. Turning out FI products where others could not or would not. Please video if a race occurs.

^ Like I said earlier yep!

Like I posted when I got my car back, I'm at boost at 3200 RPM's at WOT. All depends how you work that gas pedal. If I go easy it takes alil longer, but that ain't no fun lol! And nice dyno sheet scrming!

At Firebird Raceways here in Arizona they required me to have a fire coat because its supercharged..Otherwise i would have got in last week to race because I had the helmet to borrow.


Also for the Camaro5 fest, Would anyone like to pay for my trip there from Arizona and ticket to get in? I also start college up again in August so who wants to be a college student for a week or 2?

Realy looking forward to some time runs...I hope you pull down some fantastic numbers. If I were you I would link up with someone at the track to borrow their gear.

I havent figured out how you guys can wait for track time with these things. I would be waiting at the gates a day after I got a big mod like this installed to see what its capable of but thats my gotta have it now personality. Lol
