I had a Comptech SC installed a couple weeks ago. I was wondering if there is any way to check the performance gained from the SC before getting it dyno'd or installing gauges. Basically after getting the SC and getting it installed I'm a little low on funds to get it dyno'd. . I can tell a difference but from what I've read it seems a like I'm not getting as much power. The only other performance mod I have is the Invidia exhaust which was installed at the same time as the SC.

 

Honestly - when I purchased my Comptech Supercharger I knew the car was faster, but did not know how much faster. Until one day driving around with a friend I had some prick in an EVO 8 get next to me and give me that "I'm better than you". After beating him pretty bad I realized that she is definitely faster.
No, I'm not recommending you go out & street race to see a performance gain. I am saying it just so happens that racing an EVO 8 let me know how much faster I was after going Supercharged.

 

I have a similar setup to yourself except I have the Vortech SC(also have invidia). Someone else on this board had this setup and it dynoed at I think he said 310 on 91 octane. We have 93 octane but I am not sure how much differnce (if any) that makes. Also, I raced a guy with a type r swap in a civic cx hatch back and crushed him from a roll. He was very nice and said he usually beat the S2K easily.

 

Maybe I am just used to the SC now and I'm not noticing the difference. Thanks for the input.

 

Find someone with a stock S2000 and go

 

That's the funny thing with the SC. When you get it, your like... um... shouldn't the feel... more?

Then one day your coming off an on-ramp and gun it to pull in front of a guy in 350z who is trying to pin you in so you have to go on the shoulder or stop and pull away from him like he was standing still.

We lack torque so we don't feel the exceleration as much, but its there

 

Do a 3rd gear drop on the highway against a stock S.

 

go to a quick/fast road course track....you'll know.

 

After my install i was starting to wonder myself and then i did a 3rd gear pull against a stock S. The diffrence was noticeable.
