sorry, a stock ls1 will still hand you your ass and unfortunately there are not too many stock ls1's running around, especially Fbodys. most the factory cars are churning around 320hp at the wheels, slightly underrated off the lot! deep into the low 13's bone stock so you better go stroker and a lot of boost

 

u will still beat M3 tho..

 

What will it prove if you 'beat them'?

 

Jesus...

I have an S2000, I understand that its not a drag car..

Im trying to figure out how fast a S charged one is compared to other cars.. I just decided to use those two to compare it. If you have better comparisons or some numbers, that would be fine.

I already know:

S2k is not fast off the line due to torque and has a very weak diff...

I know its not build for straight line speed and to be a drag car..

Questions:

How much power can you get out of a supercharger??

How fast will the car be as compared to other performance cars??

 

if you were really interested in figuring this out you could search the boards...

quick answers that might or might not be right.. i'm not exactly sure i just feel like typing:

with ONLY a bolt on comptech or vortec supercharger you will most likely gain 60-80 peak rwhp and your power curve will show a small amount of low end and mid range power gains but mostly will keep the same or a similar shape throughout the curve. it will add pressure to your cylinders according to the revolutions of your engine not from the building exhaust pressure like a turbo setup would. therefore it will simply give you more of what you already have. supercharging is however the most practical and rewarding power-gaining modification that you can do to an s2000 since most other aspects of the car were expertly designed to work very well in their stock form. once you have added forced induction under the hood however things such as performance intakes and exhausts will yield a more recognizable amount of power.

there are tons of factors that will skew dyno numbers so the only way to measure power is keeping things relative. the truth of the matter is 'numbers' only get you so far. the real world physics behind it all is so complex and dynamic that there is almost no way to completely understand exactly how all of the parts of the car will come together and interact with the earthly conditions you put the machine up against.

as for how fast it will be... that is too vague of a question. rethink your approach. what does fast mean to you? where do you want the speed? cars move in many different directions therefore there is more to think about behind the concept of 'speed' than a simple forward vector. accelerations occur while turning or even stomping on the brakes. if you are inherently concerned with straight line acceleration which i believe you are then any s2000, any car without an automatic transmission for that matter is only as fast as the driver behind the wheel anyway. the best drivers can launch the s2000 nicely and hit perfectly timed shifts but it requires high revs and dumping clutches that quickly result in broken parts and worn rear tires.

 

well said


Now Dizings2k...
go to search and get some studying done

 

I'm curious. A stock S has a top speed of 140-150 mph. Would a supercharged S have a higher top speed or would it just get there faster? I'm guessing both, but that's why I'm asking . Although it may, or may not, beat an M3 or LS1 off the line, how do you guys think a supercharged S would do during highway speeds or from a roll where the top end shines?

 

Crono get outta my thread you damned ricer... racing on the highways.. LOL Jk..

 

Haha, yea, that's me! silly ricers . Anyways, everyone seems to be saying from a stop, the S would lose. I'm trying to find out how would it fare if you took advantage of the s2k's strong points instead of it's weak ones.

 

Top speed would be dependent on gearing. I think the top of 6th is achieveable with a stock motor, so the top speed would be the same unless you made changes to the gears.
