Well, to add to this topic (may be slightly off topic though). I did more research on this and spoke to a couple of previous and current supercharged GS4 owners. They all said that regardless of what gearing you have in the rear the rpm's come up so quick that the tranny doesn't shift in time by redline...where it hits the rev limiter for a split-second before shifting. So, many let off the gas for a split-second at (or around) redline so the tranny could shift to the next gear and then they WOT again. IMHO this SUCKS and it is the VERY reason why I decided I am not and I am NEVER going to get a supercharger for my GS4. You lose time substantially, i.e. 0-60, 1/4 mile etc etc. Think about it...you NEVER hear of GS4XX SC'd guys laying down 12.5-12.9's in the 1/4 mile. If they would, there would be videos and such all over the place.

The technology of the 2nd Gen GS tranny SUCKS BIGTIME! So by throwing more power at it you may not be happy. I contacted Mo for SRT and was VERY close to dropping my car off at Maryland for 4 weeks for them to do a one-off kit but even with a VB upgrade in the tranny you can't just mash the gas the entire time and it will shift flawlessly; it will hit the rev limiter on some/all gear shifts. Mo mentioned that his kit would yield 400-420whp (which is at the BRINK of what the stock tranny can hold). This power level equates to around 500-525hp (crank) and still BARELY able to break into the 12's in the 1/4 mile...with that much power; that would **** me off. and it all has to do with the poor shifting antiquated tranny.

Look at the IS-F...new technology, 416hp (crank) or 340whp and can run 12.8's ALL DAY. You can add 60-70whp MORE onto the GS4XX and you won't get these results. It makes me sad because I love my car and the dream of a serious HP GS400 is gone. Because I am NOT going to want to drop ANOTHER $5-6K on a custom auto tranny or manual tranny after spending $8K or so on a supercharger. Not worth it in my humble opinion.

On that note, I am saving up for something new(er) and fast out of the box. The IS-F may be a choice for me (a little small though).

GL, but I would research before you go full-out on an SC kit on your GS4. NO DOUBT an SC will make the car A LOT faster but it will be on par (performance wise) with cars making a lot less power; unless you do something about that damn tranny!
