Doc, that holds true whether it is a Comptech or an SOS. But isn't as fast as "a few laps", it does take a bit of time and certainly the ambient temps have a lot to do with it. Shad, Ross, and Ryu have actual numbers on this. That's why I said blowers on this car sit in the wrong place and if you want that extended power level I think a turbo presents a better option. I absolutely LOVE the flat power band of the Comptech and on the street it is just perfect, but if you really want to be a track guy and your skill level on the track (like yourself :wink
is so high that you need a lot more power, you need to go turbo. If you are going to get tuning, management, intercooler, heat exchanger, pump, injectors, blah blah, then just do it for a turbocharger. Yes, it's a bit more peaky, yes, it's not as smooth as a blower, yes, it is not instant, but when you have an extra 80-100 consistent HP (nevermind the extra torque), you are going to just forget all that other stuff... I know this is just my opinion, but I have researched this a lot, talked to Shad, Ross, and my local engine builders for a long time. It is not a good deal to take a supercharger to that next level. Basic Comptech kit -----------> turbocharger system with tuning/management. And as I have said before, my favorite turbo system on a non-built motor is David Dozier's for a whole host of reasons. If you need even more still, and are willing to build a motor, then I would forget the aerocharger system and go with something from other builders like Loveab, Angus, SOS. Then you can go 500+.
