Wow another thread about how everyone "THINKS" this kit failed. Yes it probably failed in sales but it does work and does NOT sound like sht. Anyone in FL can tell you my car doesn't sound like sht. And yes I'm pushing 7lbs at the moment.

Someone should just lock this thread cause this has been discussed way too many times and the results are always the same.

Calm down buddy, we understand you have the supercharger, so please back up your claims. Post some YouTube clips at least if not a dyno graph lol

He has posted at least one or more videos if you look for em... and while one did have a peak dyno number listed in the video I don't recall him ever posting an actual dyno sheet. Would love to see one though, especially with fuel trims and whatnot on it.

LMS Supercharger with a "MAn" sized intercooler?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...u-find-it.html

couldn't find the numbers though..

PS: this is a thread about what happened to the FOX marketing SC, not about how all SCs failed.

Who said he had a Supercharger? He was talking about the Lexus SC 300/400 Car.

He has air suspension and other little stuff weighing him down but if I was to guess, he would run 11.8-12.4 with coils and some tires that will catch traction but that's my guess. He should be producing more power then an IS-F.

I hate to be negative nancy but I dont think that he will break into the 11's even if his car was gutted

^^^ I agree. He would need at least 420 HP to the wheels without removing weight to get in the 11's .

you know, there's more than one way to search for your answers.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lms+supercharge...%2C+horsepower

and the very first search result pulls this up:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...ercharger.html

as you can see from the ^ thread, even back in 2006 people were already questioning the viability and cost-effectiveness of forced induction for the 2is.

four years later, the crowd has changed (for better or worse), but the issue hasn't.
