~40 WHP gain was pretty much what I expected with a supercharged 2IS. Since most supercharged 350 gets around 40-50WHP.

Like another member posted a while ago. I still find it difficult that you were evenly matched with a IS350 with a intake/exhaust. Unless you got a jump on your gf or she didn't floor it all the way. There is pretty much nearly 0% chance you will be evenly matched from 40-100 considering how much more power a IS350 puts out vs a sc 250.

Here is a dyno lil4cyl IS350 with f-sport intake and joez exhaust. 281.68 WHP & 258 torque. That is nearly 100WHP & 50 torque more.

I find it hard too, and I'm not here to say I am faster/as fast as is350's. I think my honest dyno passes shown are proof enough I'm not barking up that imaginary tree. My dyno numbers are lower than most any other dyno you can find (the specific dyno I used) , but I still don't expect it t be at or above 240-250whp. Maybe she took it easy, maybe the boost at that level in the gear I started in was enough. It was one account and that's all it was.

PS: 282whp is ~57whp more than my dynos, not "nearly 100whp".

I was looking at the stock number. Nonetheless, I don't see any reason you can even be evenly matched with 50WHP/50 torque more. Even having 20WHP difference can have a huge edge on a drag strip or freeway runs. Especially, when you are going from 40-100.

180WHP seems about right for i/h/e on a 250. I don't see that as being significantly lower than other dyno. Stock 250 gets about low 160 to mid 160. History has repeated that most people can't squeeze out more than 50WHP with a SC on the 2IS engine. So the 40WHP gain is about right on a 2IS.

Love it man. I cant wait to boost mine, but the parts acquisition is slower than Id like. I still need my intercooler and all the piping + i gotta build out the hot side for the turbo......

it'll happen though, slowly but surely.

Are you still letting the stock ecu handle everything? I think I'll let it do everything while I take logs and then I'll try to push the envelope with the mapecu and aux injectors. I'm really aiming for 400whp when its all said and done, by whatever means possible.

It'll be worth it to have a rear mount.

Yeah, stock ECU still. Still trying to get meth injection installed this month or next since its getting hot out again here in Houston. I also need to do my research on who can do mapecu locally so I can possibly go down that path this year too. Too worried about cosmetics now tho haha

You'll have to custom fabricate mounting bracket, bend I get loose piping and acquire a c2 procharger blower, intercooler and blow off valve. It would cost you roughly $5k

Arkym carbon fiber lip, cut to fit the 2is F bumper
