Darren, you should do the Rev works since I've already ordered the JDL... We shall see the differences between our cars... Ohh, I'm picking mine up from the fed ex location tomorrow... Lol... But it won't be getting installed until the 6th but its worth the week wait...I'm also thinking about doing a water/meth injection onto this to help cool it a little more and get that 20+ HP and torque... It'll be nice seeing your car next to mine.

robispec is now putting down.
Current numbers with the innovate Super Charger on E-85 with a 70mm pulley are
249.7/201 on a dyno dynamics conversion to a dyno jet would be 280/240 whp/wtq

charts later tonight..hell yes I'm HAPPY!
Stock airbox borla engine back exhaust
ONE SICK TUNER ThX to bill at HGM

Thanks for chiming in, @robispec!

Yeah, I am OK with that... it looks like the UEL headers might be the bottleneck here... although PRE promised to call me today with an update on my order and they dropped the ball. Jeez guys...

What's better the avo turbo, or innovative super charger??

They are around the same price range,

There is no "better".

AVO has more potential for more power, you car change to a bigger turbo, add more boost after you reinforce your engine, bigger injectors, fuel pump. That is if you are looking to drag your car, +280WHP. Essentially spending more money on your car, and expect things to start breaking aka garage queen.

The twin screw will net less power, but increase drivability in all the rpm range, which a turbo takes spool time and loses the N/A type response from the engine. Although my guess is that the SC will still compromise the N/A response from pulley leech, it should still be better than a turbo.

Less heat over all, minimal or no engine mods with stage 1 (past 250whp, stock parts starts to cry) and a much more simple mechanism compared to a turbo kit. Also predictable power means easier to drift, and less chance crashing your car.

Only concern would be a instant power from the twin screw may be an issue with stock tires in the PNW rain. I'd invest in better tires for the rears at least, or just slide all over lol. Also without it being IC'd, people that already have this kit is saying "its fine" but I would keep a close eye on temps.

Another concern will be diapers. You will need to change diapers a lot, which can add up on cost, when you will be shitting your pants every time you drive the car from joy!

Stupid question, I've never had a car with an SC. Can you set the level of boost, or is that a function of the pulley size?

Function of pulley size.

Thanks. I'm assuming from what I've been reading about this that the stock 7 (I think) PSI boost is about the max you can run with a stock motor. Will this work with a stock exhaust? I know you won't have the performance.

Are there any systems out there that flow better but still sound "stock"?

@King Tut is running 14PSI on his terb0 kit. Max safe boost will be a function of the tuner and your gas in addition to the stoutness of the block. With these supercharger kits, max boost is again limited by the size of the pulley; a local in my area is making ~11PSI on his Vortech at a raised redline.

This works with the stock exhaust as the exhaust manifold and everything else is left alone. If you would like something that sounds stock at idle and isn't on the wild side, I'd invite you to take a look at the Nameless Performance exhaust range and the Perrin exhaust range; both over resonated versions of their front pipes as well as tamer axlebacks. Ultimately, changing the header will be the biggest power boost AND also the source of most rasp.

Update. S/C shipping from Cali today... should arrive on Tuesday.

Planning on the Rev Works UEL, and Perrin front pipe, over pipe and 3" exhaust.

Possibly AEM intake... I like that it looks near OEM.

Thanks. I want to keep the stock looks and sound as much as possible, whatever I do under the hood.

If you are picky about sound, I would do some research on that combo if it has any rasp. I've heard some rasp with a similar setup with Borla UEL.

Invidia Q300 is very tame, and I believe it is 2.5". Although the tip is titanium, so you may have to refab the tip to something more OEM looking at Midas or something.
