Hi, Guest
Flo,
come on now...
"claiming"?? :rolleyes:
but that's just it, you can slap on a SC and make power like that. well, actually 220fwhp and 180lb/ft but that is beside the point.... it is possible, that's a major selling point for the PW kit. :P
i was refering to the need to upgrade the blower itself, with all the SC options BUT the JRSC's, there is no need to upgrade the blower to hit 300fwhp. that was my point.
extrenal mods are external mods... just like turbo owners add in FMICs, different wastegates, manifolds, DPs, exhaust, and other engine mods. the need to upgrade a propperly.
Upgrades for my blower are about the same as your turbo, different snout is bolt-on and go.
crank pully is bolt-on and go.
cams are bolt-on and go.
or atleast as much as swaping turbo housings and clocking them.....
how would you know it's no where near as fun to drive?
when was the last time you were in a PW SC'ed or any propperly tuned, propperly sported SC kit for that matter?
you got to go in a base Vortech(if it was claiming 190) and a JRSC with 150... i'll agree with you... WOW! :P
i've pushed cars that felt like they had more power than the couple of Vortech cars that were around here... :blink:
the beauty behind a high boost SC setup, more so with a positive displacement blowerr, is you do not need a LOW boost setting. you drive the car agressively off the line and then roll full on the throttle to maintain traction. my right foot is the boost controller, no switches, no extra tuning.... just a little finess with the go pedal and i can hold 5psi, 10psi, 15psi, 18psi.... for as long as i like or is required.
Don't get me wrong here, i'm not putting turbo's down.
i love turbo cars, you guys are just blowing your own horns a little too hard without having a lot of real world facts to back up your statements. :)
Berin,
i know what you are saying, but there are so many varriables when you bring a different car into the mix.
powerplant, gearing and what has or hasn't been done to the car as far as mods go will make a huge difference in how the car feels.
if you start with the same cars, then you know the differences are just what's each person is running.
hell, i'm building a turbo for a customer right now, when it's done, it will probably be faster than my BBK PW setup....
i love turbo's just as much as my SC's.
only difference is for what i do with this car, the PW kit dominates all other FI options to the end result! ;)
oh and i never said SC's were better than turbos.... :)
