your setup looks awesome, but don't you think 8k is alot of money to only gain 40 hp?
I thought a supercharger setup should be putting down much more power at that boost.
I would go back to that shop and make them fix whatever is wrong, and not pay them more money.

The original power figures before I fitted the kit were 171rwhp, so my gains have been quire good, good tuning now will just improve what I have now, up to another 80 or so HP.

If I end up with close to 400HP, it will worth it, more than double the original numbers,

About time I updated.

I have recently fitted water meth inj and have just had it re tuned, with some very good results.
It is now 340 rwhp.
With a bigger w/m nozzle and a good catch can fitted my tuner says we should be good for nearly 400rwhp, but that will be later, got some other stuff to first.

Paul,

In terms of your setup now, I've got a bunch of questions.

Are you running the 8 rib belt?

What size water/meth nozzles? How many psi is your pump? How many nozzles are you running? and is the position before or after the whipple? Is it boost activated? What psi?

What else besides a fuel pressure regulator and the 255 walbro has been changed from stock in terms of fuel system?


Those are impressive results should be enough to keep up with the is-f.

Minor updates to this.

Have fitted a good oil catch can, got rid of the PCV , also got my spare rocker covers powder-coated.

Tuner is pretty busy, so may be another month before he can do it for me, sooner would be better.

This get driven every day, done approx 45,000 km's in the last three years.

So far so good

Have done some 1/4 drags, trap speed is not bad but et's are ordinary and my 60 ft times suck.

trap speed 104mph
et 14.1 secs
60 ft... 2.2 secs

wheel spin off the line, wheel spin first to second second to third all good.

Got some weld wheels and a pair of Goodrich drag radials coming, will see if that makes a difference,

Oh, also fitted a torsen diff with a 4.1 ratio. that I am hoping will make the biggest inprovement.

Michael, I answered your questions in your thread.

Cheers.
