My Ride

I finally spun the Vortech Supercharger to the max yesterday and it is putting out 1.25 BAR of pressure at 9300 rpm with a 3.8 inch pulley.



Zaino time again. It needed it with the swirls that have built up over the last year.

Great Tread...Sideways....
I love my CTSC and how it fills the engine bay...
Finally some hope for me and fellow Superchargers...
All those turbo guys got me worried by their changeover from SC to Turbo and saying that there was Night and day difference and I think this comes in the same category when compared to stock and near stock SC.
This Tread made me Keep my SC...I wanted and I still want to Upgrade my CTSC now.Do you know of anybody doing this to the Comptech..sorry for not doing a search first..Also Your all polished Setup is Great...


Long Post but you made me a Believer...SC way.Even if Turbo S are faster I am sticking with my CT. Ha,ha ha.
Very very warm Greetings from Macedonia...

Thanks for the Kudus.
To answer your questions, 1. I'm running Manley valves. 2. General rule of thumb, if there is fuel in the air use a rough surface. 3. 4-1 is generally considered better for SC.

You get your 3.xx final gear yet????

No 3.90s yet. The 4.10s are great after using the lower gears for the last few years.

how much whp / torque are u putting down?

I had it on the dyno yesterday and the increases I had seen and felt were not there. I was expecting about 50 hp more that what what we got. It was only boosting about one bar (14.4psi) with the 3.8inch pulley. That is down considerably from the 1.25 bar (18psi) recorded with the old belt previously. I installed a new Gatorback belt and tightened it before driving over to Church's but apparently it needs a little more tightening.

The efforts did increase the torque nicely. I was running very rich for some reason and Shawn leaned it out 6 or 7 percent. With tuning the final run is shown below. The boost by that point was only .95 bar (13.8 lbs.)

Phil, you gotta take me for a ride man...

Good God that is a fast S2K.

Damn, I remember my that one dyno when all you had was the Mugen ECU and race gas. She still pushed 238+ hp.

can you give us a updated mod list? and maybe even a kill list

very nice car sideways keep up the good work

When I only had 310 whp and 4.57's, I, too, had to shift into fifth before crossing the line. This was on the stock rev-limiter. By having similar experiences, I can say you must suck at launching just as badly as I do! 2.2 60' time on a road course alignment(-2.5 rear camber & 380 springs rates).

I only had Laskey's Stage #2 head work- no port-n-polish. Running a 2mm head gasket(9.88:1 compression) and had routinely hit 1.4-1.5 BAR. RPM's are a beautiful thing! On a dyno today, my laptop recorded 20.06psi. The gauge read just a hair over 1.4 BAR. Because of this, I believe my gauge to be fairly accurate.

Forgot to ask, Sideways, what shift beeper are you using? Just found out that Modifry's light/beeper only goes to 9300. I need something well past that. Thanks.

Wow....this makes me re-think about a SC....Awesome Car... ....



D.

I shift at 9300 so Modifry's shift beeper is just fine for me.

so sideways, how about that kills list...

What head gakset are you using? and who did the head install?

So Skip with that much boost what are your numbers looking like now?

I tightened up the belt. By my calculations it's pushing about 530+rwhp. The exhaust is really holding it back so now it's time for a totally new exhaust system from the headers back. It's in the research and development phase currently with exhaust guru Jack Burns at Burn's Stainless. The total system should be ready for dyno testing in a few weeks and finalized this Summer. Can you say 560rwhp? I hope to be able to.



Here is a picture from last Saturday as we were trolling for ZO6s and Vipers. No takers.



My passenger is wearing rubber shorts and diapers, you can tell from the smile.

Wow!!! Is this still from a 3.8 pulley?? Mine is really tight and I only see about 16.5 psi. O and if you don't mind me asking what injectors are you using now?

Congrats and can't wait to see the final numbers!

Sideways I think I just made my pans a bit wet after seeing that boost gauge picture and reading your guestimate....wow and respect to you!
I runn a funny 8psi and 320whp on a GT3070R..you think I can turn it up to 10psi?No gasket in my house!

Simply awesome. Kudos.

wow. Any video of the beast sideway?

really nice , good luck reaching your numbers

Sideways, have you ever posted about all the mods to your car? I know this thread has a bunch of engine stuff, but are all the other mods posted anywhere?
