I'm definitely not knocking you or the Vortech kit. In fact, I think you've done a phenomenal job with your videos and telling it like it truly is. I honestly wish you could do the same for the Innovate kit, before I jump into it all. Your videos have made me scrutinize everything much more. So, a huge thanks to you for all your hard work. |

I am glad sw20 is posting some media on it. This product however is so new, early adopter is not even a fair word for it. You are a beta tester.

Tuning is everything really, you can get more power with trickery and timing on both kits. I just want to compare a solid base up to the motors peak HP area of 7000RPM

As for the beta tester, bullet developed the kit, alpha/beta tested it, sprintex then used their OEM production channels. I see innovate as the beta tester for you guys in the US judging by the amount of testing they did and still doing (perhaps kartboy as well, robi and sw20kosh are more like stress limit/tuner kit testers). Otherwise it would have been released much much earlier I think.... As for vortech, I see everyone on the old pulley setup as betas, even some of the initial new pulley guys too. You are probably even a beta tester for Perrin's tunes..

In the videos posted in this thread 4700 rpm in 2nd gear equates to 36 mph. 6200 rpm in 3rd gear equates to 74 mph. 5100 rpm in 4th gear equates to 73 mph. On the trip to Vegas for the 86 Expo I was cruising along at 103 mph in 6th gear and was only turning 3400 rpm with a stock motor. In a real world application for normal everyday driving you'd probably see 7000+ rpms about .01% of the time, but hey....you can post screenshots of dyno runs with bigger numbers. For some people it's not about who can post the biggest number. I just want to give my car that little extra that will make it even more fun to drive in real world situations. Have fun driving your car around locked in 1st gear. |

In fact I run one of the more least aggressive tunes. Here is the video, obviously this is not gospel but you can see exactly the difference between the kits. Both videos were shot in hot temps over 90F. Almost identical HP, in every way I edited it removing the launch the Innovate has the edge midrange the Vortech takes it back from 6500-7200. This is NOT to say what is better or worse just to compare how each car accelerates, so don't get all but hurt. First video STOPs and both cars hit 80MPH at the same time same RPM. The second video the Innovate is ahead at the end by a few MPH. Going to try a second edit tomorrow with a standing start. Digital racing at its finest! @sw20kosh [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4pUqKWHtL0"]Scion FR-S BRZ Innovate vs.Vortech Supercharger Acceleration - YouTube[/ame]
