Default Any Supercharged auto-Xer's???

I'm about to supercharge my S2K with Comptech. I was just curious to hear from people who have a SC and auto-X. Did it improve your times very much after adding the SC? Your first impressions?

Also, for SCCA, 'BS' is the class for stock S2000 - anyone know what it would be if it's supercharged? Would it be 'BSP'?

Thanks,
Brian

I suspect that SM2 (Street Modified 2) would be the best class. Otherwise, you'd prolly end up in a modified class...

Right now Z06's are dominating SM2 Nationally... someone is building a Z06 with a 750hp LeMans Motor in it, so I think we are still not seeing the potential of this class yet. There is a turbo Miata in Texas doing well. The only way I see a SC'd S2000 doing well is if you put a super-low final drive in and row the gearbox so you're always in the power. A sequential tranny would be legal in SM2. Heck, ANYTHING would be legal in SM2. Someone could spend easliy $200k building a car for autocross. I can think of better things to do with that much money. cough-road racing-cough.

That being said, in most regions there isn't that much competition in SM2, so running an SC'd S2 locally would probably be fine... and fun.

Jason is right. Last year at Nationals, modded Z06's dominated the class with a few turbo miatas causing very little headaches.

Horsepower only means so much in this class. Frankly, anything over 500hp will be unusable in the Nats. courses. I ran a 500+ hp 300ZX on the class. Needless to say, it was the heaviest in the class but I also carried the most hp. Let's just say I only finished in front of a few Miata's and I think one Z06....

If you are doing the supercharge to be more competitive...do without. You would stand a better chance on a BS class or even a BSP...SM2 is murder!

Thanks man! I can't wait until the season starts back up.....2 more weeks and we will see what the S has to offer!!

I finished 1st on SM2 here in the KC region out of a field of about 7. Not bad. I finished about 41 out of 43 at the Nationals....

Considering Steve O'Blene's times locally I imagine a 2nd Gen turbo RX7 might have a chance in SM2. But the tough guys are still ZO6's. Lotus' aren't legal, right?
