the troubles I go through and you guys don't even bother reading it *sigh~~~ hahahah just kidding. I'm going to be talking to them again on friday so I'll post new updates on their tuning development. They should be able to tell me what PSI they were able to raise it to. The S-trim and the S2-trim (same thing except sound levels) if I'm not mistaken can be raised to 20psi. It would be interesting how far they will be able to take it without blowing something.

Question supracharge?

Supercharge? I never hear anything about a supercharge that can produce 20psi, I would said maybe max of 10psi for a really really really good one. I could be wrong too

Supercharger is just like turbo. There are different sizes and pulley size. Supercharger can make as much boost as turbo, but it will take more energy and higher rpm.

My Procharger F1SC is capable of making 32 psi. It has similar CFM at T76.

Luthor: you are correct yet again! I mistyped. The Q and 2 keys are too close together. I guess I have to grow my pinky. Someone fetch me a finger enlarger lol!

Default Supercharge Fast?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lex Luthor

I know a little about vortechsupercharger(good brand in the market) but never see anyone who try to compete against turbo charge. Supercharge only work one way, input but not output. I let your big brand figure out what I'm trying to say here. You might be a little big but hopefully you don’t have small extremities like others.

henry, just want you to know that I know VSsc400, and I would never make a disparaging remark to you, he knows i'm kidding with that remark, and it was meant only for him. Anyway, eveyone's contribution is valued here, the goal is for us all to get from A to B faster, hope you don't mind when I correct you, just keeping the facts straight. Now I only have to figure out what you're trying to say, when is your b-day? Wanna get you one of those translation book thingies ........

Thats right. Luthor and I met a bunch of times already. By no means am I small for an asian guy so I'm not offended I think I was fortunate I was able to get a hold of the designer of the kit. He's got all the blueprint right? I wonder who's the guy that left the car @ area51 since March for the R&D... some elusive clublexus memeber.....?

VS,

If the price was right....I would have gladly left my SC4 for 6 months. I drive it maybe 2 times a week at best. For a project such as this...the donation would have been the easy part. Ha, I drive my 500hp 87 Supra about once a month... guess thats why it just turned 70k miles.

the guy who left the car there for 6 months is being charged somehwere around 7-8 grand. Since they have the template we should be getting it cheaper (according to area51)
