184 whp is not bad for only 6psi on a supercharger.. its actually really good IMO. theres alot more parasitic drag from a supercharger. is that with or without nitrous?

the turbo guys only see around 200-210whp at 8psi roughly, and they/we don't have the major parasitic drag of being belt driven.


if that dyno is without nitrous, i would consider those great results.. with nitrous, not so great.

184whp isnt bad bro.

But, you would see more gains if you hadnt installed lower compression pistons. At low boost it is unneccessary and will do nothing but rob power, your car would have more peak hp and be more perky off boost.

You should only install low comp pistons when you want to go to 300+whp as you will ward off detonation without having to run 10:1 afr to do it.

Yah you spent a bunch of money and only came out with 184whp, but some of that money you didnt need to spend.

Thats without nitrous, but the guy at the shop said if I had a standalone system he could easily squeeze more horses out of the same setup without going for a smaller pulley. He also took the idle control valve off and said it idles better without it but I think that needs to go back on the car.

The Stats:

Max WHP 186 @ 6206 RPM
Torque @ 3500 RPM 151 lbft
