Warning
Guys:
One thing folks are over looking here is the drive-line. The 6-spd tranny is fairly marginal on the 8, and FI will definitely bring this to the fore-front. In talking to several tuners, this has been one of their biggest challenges when upgrading to FI. Just wanted to add this to the mix. I'm sure like some posted previously, that making the power will not be an issue in the months to come, but keeping the tranny alive will be.
Just a little more food for thought!

Ok just to give some clarity on this subject incase noone else has yet. When they did all of testing and such for that article the car wasnt even tuned yet, hence the 3psi. Final kit will run 7 psi I beleive.

Hey all.. I have some info 
gotta love that...
I got word that a company is finishing up the tuning for the car and will be done within 3 weeks. After that there will be a 1 to 2 month beta testing period for those people located in Florida.
When they go to production for the supercharger kit they will offer 5 kits with a wide range of options to give the consumer lots of flexability when choosing their product...

this question is for rotarygod
what do you think about the memory stainless steel headers put together with the greddy cat back exhaust system? worth the money? Are the headers even a good design? And would they still work with a turbo/supercharger application?

Memory headers? If a header design works on a regular engine, there is no reason to believe that it won't work on a supercharged engine. Exhaust systems do have to be adjusted a little for supercharged cars but if it is a benefit on a non supercharged car, it wills till work. I don't know which headers you are referring to. I have only seen one set of heasers thusfar which look like they have some sort of potential but even then it is very small. The real key is that no currently available headers on the market are worth their level of gain. A header will not work with a turbo unless the turbo is mounted after the header. The benefit from it would still be debatable.

back to pettit.... I got this info from unichip. Was going to invest my money into this but they said that they scrapped their project because the unichip only produced 8 additional hp at the top end.. not worth the money..

Memory's design doesn't look any different than all of the other no power gain designs. I tell a lie. The others get a gain at the extreme top of the powerband of about 4 hp or so. Nothing usable.

Talked to Pettit today. Some info - one kit will be available without intercooler and can expect around 200 HP at wheels. Another kit will be available with intercooler which should produce around 220 HP at wheels. The expected prices keep going up. I also asked about a rumor I heard about a blown engine and tranny with prototypes. Told absolutely no blown engine and tranny was damaged, not from supercharger but by driving techniqe. I believe.
As a side note - both Pettit and Acosta racing has told me straight - do not get CanZoomer piggy back - too many problems. For what it is worth.

I think you can pretty much come damn close to getting those type of numbers keeping the car N/A. For example SR motorsports gt4 kit is pretty close to that, I'm sure for a lot less money.

I would like to see someone other than the vendor back that up with a dyno. I think part of the reason no one has done that is that nobody really believes those numbers are remotely achievable with those parts...otherwise everbody would have already purchased the kit.

Even if nobody has backed up the vendor with a dyno, which I understand fully what your are talking about, but that doesn't mean I am going to drop 5 to 6 grand on a S/C kit that only puts me at 220whp, and that is why I said pretty close to that figure and not right on that figure because I have not seen anybody back it up............
