boost will always be linear with a comptech s/c as its driven by the crank pulley... you can run a higher psi pulley which will increase boost at all levels.. but full boost will always be at redline

 

Ok. So what is the smallest pulley you can go with? Or what is max boost you can safely run? What would be needed to run it? Injectors and tune? Clutch needed?

 

i honestly don't know the answer to these sc-specific questions

there was a good write up recently about a vortech kit and what upgrades are available etc

 

i would recommend a clutch from the get go, with even a stock supercharger pulley.

in terms of how much boost you can run, it depends on how much stuff you want to swap out.

i believe the stock injectors can handle about 7psi. anything over stock injectors and you will obviously need some sort of engine management.
i also think that 10psi is the threshold for the motor on the stock headgasket. most of the turbo guys will step up to a 3mm headgasket and can then boost freely up to about 450whp or so, i believe.

 

The injectors and what not are not about how much psi you are running, it's about how power you are making. The CT kit delivers fuel from a 12:1 FPR. For example, in my case I am running lean up top because I'm making about 320hp on only ~6psi. The FPR delivers fuel 12:1 to boost on an FPR. If you are running 5psi and making 300+ hp you will run lean on stock injectors.

What supporting mods to do you currently have? If you have any current power adders such as exhaust, test pipe, or header, you might want to only run 5psi on stock injectors and stock ecu because you will be making too much power.

(I hope I worded this correctly, I typed it out rather fast.)

 

ABC i def agree - i was just trying to keep it worded how i've read it, so i didnt give any bad info

 

Right now I have a Spugen dual oval exhaust, and a test pipe(currently have cat installed) and a K&N FIPK which would obviously be taken out when the sc is installed.
Will my stock clutch slip most likely right away? I would like to upgrade it, but wouldn't have the cash to do it all at once. I will go with an ACT clutch as I have had great experience with them for my other car.

 

Well if I go with a fmic and a 7 psi pulley I should be ok I think due to the pressure drop the fmic will cause.

 

Man i dont know if your in the right car. They way this car makes power, you will never get put back in the seat. I make 470whp and by the time my power kicks in im used to it and never get leaned back.

 

OK don't get me wrong I love this car, just miss the stuck to your seat feel. I think I am going to go with a Comptech SC Kit.
