i have nearly the same exhaust setup. only difference is i have 3.0" perrin resonated catback. absolutely love the sound and noise levels. its not ridiculously loud but u know people are hearing u when u want them to. im waiting for edelbrock to release their SC. i think it will be a fun system with power from the get go.

This is in a straight line, with stock wheels and tires, from a roll.
You have to remember that while every car listed has more power and torque, the FRS/BRZ is a much, much lighter car, in some cases, 1000+ lbs lighter. It's the exact reason a ND Miata is faster than an FRS, stock for stock, with only 155hp. |

I did have EVOs and WRXs in addition to mustang GT's in mind. Thing is, a lot of enthusiasts go after more power, and while its great that a supercharged FRS is faster than those vehicles when they're stock (except for the GT), as soon as the owner's put in the same amount of money that most FI FRS owners have, the FRS of course will lose. That's largely because, at least in the case of supercharging, it takes horsepower to make horsepower, and if you start with more, you make even more with a SC. So for instance we might go from 200 crank to 320 crank with our centrifugal setups, a GT would go from 400 (I'm just using general numbers) to 600. Our setup got 120 ponies from our money, and probably from a similar amount of money the GT got an additional 200. Its easier if you start out with more power in the first place. Mike is right about the weight being a factor in our favor of course. I am jealous of the new miata's weight. A quarter mile in the 13's is not particularly fast, albeit quick, by today's standards. A stock 370 has a 13.0 quarter mile -- a JRSC FRS at its best might be able to do that. Yeah I thought about perrin resonated, not sure I like the note though. |

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QERcB63JbVs"]BRZ equiped with Jackson Racing Super Charger - YouTube[/ame] Quarter mile times mean almost nothing to me but I still think that is a very respectable time for our cars that wasn't designed for straight line speed. I would think most people here on this forum bought the car because of the chassis/driving connection(ok maybe the styling as well). I know I did. Power isn't everything. I can agree with most of those points. You mentioned this is your first Sports Car and are fairly new to being a car enthusiast, its kinda crazy that you think that even with the JRSC with bolt ons you still don't feel it is quick enough. Perhaps maybe some track time combined with some sticky tires with would change your mind. Maybe even a different Final Drive. |

I have the Perrin system, and its nice and quiet. Quiet enough that people have asked me if the car is even on, if the car has stalled, or if I plan on getting a full exhaust. And thats with already having uel headers, a full exhaust, and of course the JR SC. Last year, I walked away from an RS5 from a dig and an M6 from 55 on a similar setup. With my current JR setup, I think I could do it again.

I heard your exhaust setup on your build thread a while back. Jesus that sounds amazing. Makes me question if I should just stick with Perrin instead of the Q300. |

Take it to the track. You will realize power isn't everything. You will appreciate the car for what it is really meant for.

One thing to note though, limiting the redline due to Map sensor cannot be considered as a "good job" IMHO since the Rotrex Supercharger kits (at least the base models with pump gas power levels) like @CSG Mike mentioned your tuner should've told you to opt for an aftermarket Map sensor (if it didn't come with the kit) you're most likely leaving some power on the table because of that and also lowering the RPM limit changes the whole character of our cars .. keep in mind we also have shorter gears compared to other cars that have similar weight/power ratio since those gears are not designed for extra power ..with the turbo where there are so many other variables changing lowering the RPM limit could be more understandable (like maxing out the injectors, boost creeps ..etc) my suggestion would be connecting with other tuners since tune makes a big difference on driveability, throttle response (which already sux on these cars in stock form), power and most importantly the reliability.. lowering the RPM limit on the other hand is a band aid solution
