Hitting the corner apex at 6800rpm!! LOL Where it counts [QUOTE=DLSJ5;12931705]Until we see proof otherwise, the HKS / Rotrex kits will not make as much peak power, and will not make as much power where it counts in the power band on the S65, |

Forget the ET, but slicks are not going to improve your traps significantly on this car if you are hooking most of the way down the track. In the vids AK's car has no trouble going through all the gears, the ESS cars were on street tires during some of the runs as well, and trapped higher, but don't you find it odd that ESS' lowest rated kit with a slightly smaller pulley, still slightly out trapped AA's highest rated kit and most visible car with more boost, same day, same track?

Fair enough, for you that's where it counts, but for the VAST MAJORITY of people who buy kits, that's not what they're using them for.

Sure you can, unless it's cold outside or you have bald tires. From a 2nd gear roll, with RE11's or R888's the car hooks in 60+ degree weather. But you make a good point, BIG power on this car is somewhat pointless, you'll be hard pressed to enjoy the car at low speeds unless you run DR's all the time, even then they're not great unless heated up.

When I do rolling second gear runs at 40mph I get traction, I'm running super sports

It doesn't really make sense for you to boast about a 535 kit beating our 625 kit at the track, but then whining about the car only being a 535 kit when Akash beat him by cars in a fair 3rd gear dct street race. Learn to take a loss you cant win every time. By the way Lost marine is putting out 500 Whp, so it is far from the lowest kit. |

What I am trying to say is that this is turning into a cheap pissing match - which it shouldn't. Getting back on topic, the OP asked about superchargers in general ... and he also already made his decision. The job of this forum is to be informative. Vendors and members should give their own input and leave it at that. If someone starts trashing one brand over the other this will turn ugly. Just my opinion. Thank you for reading. |

It must not be his daily driver if he thinks 6800+ rpm is the only place it counts. I personally sit in traffic 5 days a week with a few runs to the next traffic light.

More than one VT535 has put down that power, they should raise the power level on that kit. Regardless it's not that impressive when a companies highest rated kit and most talked about car beats a the lowest rated kit of it's compete ors on the street, starting in the wrong gear, lol, but it is impressive when the lower rated kit outperforms it in the 1/4 mile trap speed wise. I'd say the objective folks here understand that.
