Go with a turbo setup/ Turbos will always be superior to a SC. You can have a turbo setup making 300whp and a SC making 350whp, but the hp graph in the SC is very linear as compared to a turbo setup. You have 350hp but thats peak hp which means very little. The turbo setup will make full boost around 4000rpm and the power comes on a lot sooner. In actuality the turbo car would be faster.

True, but you will have to deal with more headaches, as a turbo setup is a LOT more involved. The SC is pretty plug and play.

Phil (SwtAzn97), glad to hear they areworking well! Funny enough, Sideways is Phil too! I sold two sets of 4.57s to Two Phils!

HELP!!! I hear about how much HP the S2000 can gain from dyno tests using a supercharger but could someone please tell me what percentage acceleration gain I could expect from a supercharger? For instance, how much faster does my car really go? What can I gain off the line? What is the 0-60 gain? What is the gain from 60-80? 1/4 mile gain?

I know some of you will say "search previous posts". Trust me when I say I have but all I hear is "dyno" and "300+ HP". Nobody mentions "when I timed track runs prior to installing my supercharger I hit 0-60 at xx seconds and now that I have a supercharger I can do it in xx seconds!" Or "my 1/4 mile was xx before I got my supercharger. Now I do 1/4 mile in xx."

Would somebody please spell it out for me so I can gauge the amount of true performance I can expect for $5K-$6K.

Thanks in advance!!!

Would somebody please spell it out for me so I can gauge the amount of true performance I can expect for K-K.

Thanks in advance!!!
I don't know the answer, but I can't help but think...you are speaking of the car as a dragster...when it's anything but. I think you MIGHT hit high 12's with the SC? just a guess though.
