BRZ + Supercharger = ??? 1/4 mile

An e46 M3 will run a low 13 with the stock 330hp at the crank and about 600lbs more weight (they're ~3400lbs), so I see no reason why an FR-S making an honest 250whp couldn't run low 13's either.

I ran a 13.047 with my M3 (w/ intake) and had a friend run a 13.9 many years ago in a bone stock SRT4.

So you are going to spend 3.6k on a kit and only have use for one pipe? The inlet, outlet, placement and size (specifically length) may mean that it wont even fit let alone the extensive modification.

Perhaps it would make much more sense to start from scratch if you knew what you are doing?

500whp will get you in the 12s or less but at this point the the problem will be putting all the power down to the wheels

There's at least one car making ~400whp on video running an 11.3@127mph, 500whp is enough to get deep in the 10's if the transmission holds up.

Accelerated Performance posted an 11.2 on 460WHp, so yeah it's possible.

I need the intake manifold, fuel rail, downtube, pulley, belt, and the ecu remapping tune for the Twin Screw... A TS SC is a lot different then a turbo tune or centri SC so I need thier tune to modify.

I would guess upper 13s-14s with low to mid 200s in whp, as it will depend on the driver as well as the car. I've only drag raced a couple times and with a tuned VW R32 with 285chp I did low 14s and with a stock evo 9 rs I did about the same, which seems right since they had similar horses to weight and both all wheel drive.

And their trap is good for a high 10 second pass. This car doesn't need more than 425rwhp to get into the 10's, it just needs the traction.

For a bit of perspective, a 2014 mustang runs high 11's with that power.

Thinking about going this week to see how the superchager helped my time.

[BRZ NA]

Just curious, how much is Jackson supercharger kit weight? I assumed that Turbo charger kit might weight less right?

Superchargers are cute...

Also boost spikes come from equipment issues/failures, also if you get a good tune with EcuTek or run an AEM failsafe you can protect your car from such issues.

Doesn't matter, HP is what really wins races.

You really thought this was the year old thread to bump to get that question answered? Go ask that question in the Jackson Racing Owner's thread. I would say that a JR supercharger using the OEM header would weight more overall than a turbo kit.
