Default The SC. This is worst than doing drugs

Anyone else has a problem with modding their SC?

I started out with an expectation to build a 500hp capable daily driver. My car blew that number out the water first time on the dyno. Its come to the point where 600whp isnt enough anymore and im shooting for a different power band in a couple weeks. When will this stop? I could be a quite content crack or weed head with the kind of money i spend on this car.

It's because you live in Florida. Move to a state with less high powered SCs. Clearly the peer pressure is getting to you

Not really. I dont really hang with the SC group and im not for the friendly competition but i do have a bone to pick with a 2011 supercharged 5.0 mustang thats due for a rematch. Peer pressure gets expensive, im quite content with what i have. the precision i had went so i went to a faster spooling borg warner, schneider 272 cams, new solid unsprung clutch and added another pump to the tank. If i get 680 i'll be happy but on 30psi i've been told it should be in the 8's but i dont want that kind of power. anyway, we'll see.

BUT. At what point will i stop? i need an intervention. someone call A&E

3 year ago i wanted 280 Rwhp , and be done with it 2 weeks after the swap the stock twins got boring lol, went single with R154.

Single turbo with R154, while the car was waiting on tuning i scratched the 1jz and upgraded to 2jz and my goal at that time was 600rwhp.

Made over 5xxrwhp on pump gas and decided to part out my car and go back to school i knew it was just a matter of time ....

Now i am back again with some new toy nothing fancy....just fast..

I don't know about Trufanatic but my car gets over 2x miles a gallon but i was on standalone.
My GS300 burn more gas than my SC, when i drive the sC that's one thing i don't have to worry about MPG....
