*PHASTEK* Perrin Tuned Vortech Supercharger Install Thread (3 Vehicles, 3 Kits)

[Coheed]

Would anyone complain if it had 255whp with just the SC kit? How about 280whp with a few other mods?

All I'm saying is that 225whp is very low for the psi its running, and for 5k with a tune it should be higher.

We could talk about how well the car drives all day long, and that holds some weight. But noone would complain if it had the power that Perrin was getting. Their base numbers were similar to the numbers here. I'm starting to think I'll have to go two or three sizes smaller on the pulley to get what I want from the system. I'm used to driving 350whp 2700lb cars.

Of course, I'm at 4500ft. 225whp at sea level is barely 190whp up here.

I'd like to think I analyze threats. The Escort Passport 9500ix is a great device especially when supported by Live Alerts and having the map on the iPad.

I did not factor in an enforcement vehicle being in traffic, behind other vehicles, while I merged into traffic. As for anytime I get on a highway, I constantly monitor the mirrors. S2k behind me merged onto the highway quicker. I awaited for the solid line to merge. Officer saw the vehicle and turned the radar after I had cleared the surrounding cars and let off of the throttle. We all make mistakes. This one is around ~$200 and 6 hours of defensive driving.

There are some factors that play into dyno numbers. Actually there are a lot. Did we expect a little more? Yes. Perhaps 5-10hp?

I'm no tech by any means, but some factors off the top of my head are weather (humidity/temp), air pressure in tires, tires, position on rollers, how hard the vehicle was strapped down, etc. Our vehicle's tires were changed out to much heavier ones for instance. Not making excuses since I don't have to. We are just providing data and will continue to do so. Everyone else can be the judge.

Next pulley will be 3.125".

And I am not surprised, I would not expect less from you! I enjoy your build threads and pics quite a bit!

When V1 has an interface for iOS or Android devices to provide real time, I'll consider it =).

Lol just busting Ur balls. If you haven't been pulled over like this at least once in your life time, you aren't having enough fun.

[PhastekSport]

Lol alright then. Fair enough haha. I thought the s2k behind me wanted to open up a little cause he was on me.

Excuse me for getting all defensive like. We are all just people trying to have fun in our vehicles.

once you start boosting past 6psi, you need the protection!!!

Ok I will probably get bash for posting this but hey it's an experiment I did so....

After I saw the superchager pulls video that Phastek posted, I was curious to see how my car with FA20club tune would stack up with it. So I did video of pulls on second and third gear as he did and then overlay them in the same video to see the results. I was very surprise I guess are cars like cold weather very much, it was 2 degree celcius or 36.5 fahrenheit at the time of my pulls.

So here it is.
