i love my supercharger (when it works right) but there is no competing with a turbo, shoulda thought of that before the ysi! haha hows your coming along anyway? if i had the money, and i still may do this id sell my sc and turbo hands down. i mean my current setup id get all my missing torque back even if the hp number was the same.

Sick numbers so far Kerns! That's a really well chosen group of mods and the numbers so far are insane.
..the reason I parted out my car is I knew I was only in the beginning stages of the build. ..even after $20K. It was all just too much BS for someone who's been under hotrods for as long as I had been. I needed a break and I couldn't imagine someone test-driving my pride & joy into a wall or center median. ..I'm kind of a B* though. lol

Lol sxynerd... As far as updates I may or may not have ever paid attention to my post muffler pipes (they are stock 2 1/4 bent pipes) so it's causing a huge restriction. Also having boost creep and getting spark plug blowout above 6k. Final numbers are just dependent on what boost I end up running. Seen 760rwhp and had it at 705rwhp but no pulls to 7k yet and gotta figure out the boost creep. So far no issues with running out of fuel.

chop the damn tail pipes off while you're there, and gap the plugs tighter. stock coils are really good IMO you shouldn't be blowing out the spark. I dont know what you have them at but take them down to .025 or so.

Tune is done. Going to replace the tail pipes when I can afford to. Currently the spark plugs are gapped at .025 gonna gap them down to .020. 760/780tq on high boost with what we had. Will make more when I free up the exhaust and right now I'm running at 705/680 on a little lower boost.

If it's single 3" then I dont see the stock tail pipes being too much of a restriction either then, especially since that's atleast 2" prolly even thru the crush bends. but regaurdless you're making **** tons of power especially for a 2v you're gonna break a lot of hearts with that car.
