Robi wanted me to drive the car and post my impression.

Put a big freaking smile on my face! It feels even faster when you get in the drivers seat and with one less body in the car. Drove it around the block a few times just now while Robi was doing my suspension ... 0 lag or hesitation just feels like a big v6. Feels like more than 50% increase in torque in the whole rev range. No dip either.

His curb weight (2500) definitely makes this thing feel absurd too.

What car would you say it compares to now? I kinda want to get an idea of how it stacks up to other cars with this supercharger. Hope my question makes sense.

I've owned a Stock 350z n a z4M coupe. Accel is about even with the M which had 290 whp but weighed 3100 lbs

For sure faster than the 350

That's good to know, thank you. I'm not looking for crazy power, so that sounds like a good match for me.

How does it compare to a stock 370z? That would be plenty fast for most imo.

Everyone just needs to keep in mind that Robi's car has a ton of weight redux and is running E85.

First of all, very cool videos!! It sounds awesome, and I know the flat torque curve will be very appeasing!!

Calum's point is very clear I think. The impression anyone gets driving your car will not be similar to almost all other cars out there since E85 is not available to most plus almost no one has weight reduced the car to 2500+ driver.

All that being said, I'm sure it has to be a blast! At this point I hope everyone understand and realizes people will choose whatever form of FI he/she likes and cope with whatever compromises each kit brings.

He is running more weight now as stated before: 2550 empty. My car is 2650 empty n I have just 50lbs as weight redux.

Ill let him chime in if he wants on why he added weight back in.
I wonder how it would run if my girlfriend weights 300lbs and was in the car? lol

The biggest issue is cooling and top end power with a twin screw and no intercooler. If they can keep the oil temps down and have good strong pulls all the way to the top of the RPM range I will be impressed. Another issue is knock and if it has any considering the huge increase in low end torque. These are a way higher concern to me than how much weight reduction he has done.
