You should try being logical, why would someone compare the blowers at half throttle, or out the meaty part of the power band on the S65?

You don't get it at all. Ièll make this short because Ièm tired of arguing with you, and you dont seem to get the point. In any of my post did I say that at WOT one kit is better than the other, if fact I never referred to a comparisson between any kits. My point is about why people buy a SC kit for their cars. It is not ALL about 1/4mile, airstrip, or how much power is there from 6800+. There are added power throughout the powerband that people enjoy and use everyday. Like I said before its not all about 6800+ and going fast in a straight line. You dont seem to get that, it seems that for you the only reason people should get a SC is only about what happens after 6800.

If you want to drive fast or go to the dyno or the track, or an airstrip event to see how fast your car is or how it performs, you are at WOT. The other 97% of the time you're really not enjoying the full potential of the supercharger, for the most part anyway as it isn't even in boost, it's like driving the car NA, so why would someone add a supercharger to mainly do that, it's totally irrelevant in terms or performance.

Here is my point and youve proved it yourself,
not enjoying the full potential of the SC. It seems like for you (and maybe a few others) the added power of the SC can only be enjoyed at WOT and 6800-redline. Which is fine, whatever turns your bubble. My point is exactly the opposite, and I stand by it. I think people enjoy very much the benefit of added power throughout the powerband and under various conditions, even at 1/2 throttle, even at WOT lower revs, or .... imagine that .... at 6800+. My point is that you dont have to visit redline everytime to enjoy a SC kit.

Apparently you dont either. Most people who put them on enjoy the kit just as much in daily driving as they do at redline shifting. I guess since I dont own a kit I dont know much about them. But I know for a fact if I ever wanted to get a SC kit, I could care less if my car made 25whp less between 680 - redline than another kit because I dont live at a 1/4mile track, I value my driving priviledges. For me (and Im sure a few others on here) there are other criteria for wanting a SC - passing power, added hp, tq, the feeling of acceleration and maybe someday circuit tracking the car. Things that I would consider also would be reliability, reputation, proven track record and support.
Apparently for you its a whole set of different criteria, and it shows in your sig, you are constantly chasing higher hp and faster 60-130#s. And whatever rocks your boat doesnt bother me one bit. But I just want you to know, whatever happens between 6800-redline is not even close the sole reason why people buy and install SC kits on the M3.
Thats it.
