If 5-6mph isn't much doesn't the Z06 trap at like 112 in the high 12's?

So if a SC'd s2k = 106 it's only 6mph away from a Z06, which apparently isn't that much?

Really? If that's true it's awesome, I didn't realize a SC'd s2k was that close to a Z06, I thought they were pretty far appart.
(Not joking either)

by the way wesmaster you said i've never driven a sc s2000 that why if you read my statement i said we have tested TURBO CHARGED,SUPERCHARGED,AND NITROUS S2000's.Thats why i said in MY opinion the supercharger is a waste of money.In that case i would just put a nitrous kit for a quarter of the money and blow supercharged s2000's away.I like spending money but i dont think 4600$$$$$ for a 10% gain is no good and that you have to wait till 9000rpm to get your power.

How about if I pay for your nitrous kit, you have it installed and then we run 25 laps at Sebring and see who comes out ahead? I will be down there June 14th and 15th for the S2000 Challenge Series event and we can run then. The wager is up to you, but is has to be at least the cost of the nitrous setup (so that I am guaranteed to get at least my initial investment back).

My car dyno'd at 200 RWHP stock, it dyno'd at 303 RWHP on the same Mustang dyno. Unless my math is off, that is a 51.5% increase, not 10%

If you had tested them all, why is this all of a shock to you? It's not as if the Comptech Supercharger and it's characteristics are anything new. It's been out for 3 years now. You sound exactly like the guys who bitch about the car not having a navigation system or a lighted ignition key ring. If you did your research as you said you did, you should have known what you were getting into.

Yellow he is using that new math that I keep hearing about.

Spoons why don't you bring the supercharged s2000 on Thursday and we'll run it against mine to see the difference. And I don't know what the hell is wrong with Ricks car But I have a 45% increase in power.

And just because a car does horrible times on the track doesn't mean it is slow.

Another Nitrous VS. Supercharger thread !!
I thought one was plenty!

To anyone who thinks the supercharger is a waste of money (most of which don't own one), Sell it (or don't buy one), and quit complaining about it

Im trying to decipher your last post, but I think you are saying that it is slower than a stock one??

If that is the case you did something very wrong when installing it!
