To those that think a SC isn't worth it, you've never driven a IS350 with a charger. It's totally worth it plain and simple. I was making almost 400whp with my setup.

Before/After dyno sheets plz?

Because you're claiming significantly more power than HKS350, whose car is actually tuned with a supercharger, is making.

You can get the 350 to higher HP but unfortunately on our cars it takes significantly more $$$. We've been able to get 355 to the ground but you dont want to know how much $ we have spent just getting it there and honestly. If I didn't have crazy mechanic/tuner friends its no way I would have ever got it to that number alone. Go for exhaust and intake my friend unless youve got time and money to spare.

Not to repeat myself, but-

Highest whp dyno sheet we've actually seen AFAIK is his 80 shot nitrous one, which was 330 to the ground.

He estimates about 340 to the ground with the tuned blower rather than nitrous due to slighly higher trap speeds but AFAIK no dyno sheet yet.

So 355 would be news. Esp with a before on the same dyno to show it's not a crazy-high-reading dyno and a full log of the run to show it's not a shift spike or something.

You can piggy back for around a grand with an F-con or a mapecu-3. Both of those aren't really plug and play though.
I offer a caveat to the "superchargers are expensive" comment.

There's a thread on CL where it's stated "HKS will sell you their SC kit without the procharger head unit for around $2100 and you can buy a used procharger head unit for around $2000" on ebay.

...I dunno. If you DO choose to go FI I'd honestly nickle and dime your way into it. So far every kit out there is capable of putting out more true boost than is usable on our engines. I'm taking a second look into FI now after abandoning an engine swap after I was offered 3 grand for an engine I payed under a grand for.

I don't think you're going to get any response man. I never get any even with a PM.

"TooFly..." is using nitrous, and claims to be "tuned".....
