What can a supercharged tsx hang with?

heel/toe is my specialty
Well your question is fairly vague. "hang with" where? On the strip, from a roll (i assume this is what you meant) in an auto X? Not to mention the variables involved with "what else" (how much boost, other mods, traction, ecu) the TSX has done to it are also a big factor. The last is probebly the biggest reason there are no posts in here.
If your question was a bit more specific I am sure you would have more answers.

all highways have pretty low speed limits.
I think any car can keep up...
you want a fast car?
go to some other forum, the TSX is not for you.

Sorry I have no immediate answers. But your best bet seems to find some speed times for a supercharged TSX and find some speed times for the G35. I doubt even a supercharged TSX can keep up with a G35. G35 will still have way more HP/TQ and RWD doesn't hurt.

Hang with a G35 is possible with a manual supercharged TSX. You'll need more existing mods like I/H/E/Cat as well.. its very possible with those mods. And of course the "driver" mod.

.From personal experience on the highway, I've been able to keep up with a 3G TL Type-S, edge out a 1G G35 coupe, and handily beat an E90 330i. These runs were done from a MPH range anywhere between 40 and 110 (never higher).
Looking at dyno sheets from a stock 2007 G35 sedan, they average about 260whp/230wtq with a curb weight of 3580 lbs (per C&D). My TSX with a stock S/C + I/H/C/E dynoed 251whp/190wtq and has an estimated curb weight of 3250 lbs (+/- 50 lbs).
The G35 does have a clear advantage in off-the-line acceleration due to its RWD platform and 40 ft-lbs of additional torque. However, once both cars are up to speed, it's a close race with a S/Ced TSX having the advantage in power-to-weight ratio.
Also, comparing dyno sheets, the VQ35 seems to have breathing issues past 5.5-6k RPMs as the torque curve drops off pretty dramatically. In contrast, the S/Ced TSX has an extremely flat torque curve from 3k RPMs all the way to its 7100 redline.
Bottom line, a S/Ced TSX can keep up with a G35 on the highway

You'll need to add all bolt-ons (I/H/C at minimum), but the short answer is .

You do not need a supercharger or any forced induction at all to race and beat a G35 on the highway. I will admit racing a G35 off the line will be a harder task due to the torque. But I have all bolt-ons with no internal engine mods and I pull away from G35's and 350z's on the highway. As a matter of fact a friend of mine I beat has a cat-back exhaust/intake.

Btw, I'm now currently at 276whp/211wtq with a high boost pulley and water/meth, so I should be able to edge out a 2G G35 without a problem. Between my current setup and the LSD + upgraded clutch/flywheel setup soon to be installed, I'd expect my hypothetical 1/4-mile times to come close to breaking into the 13s - and that'd be before Phase 5

NO sir. I had a g35 coupe and now have a 07 g35s sedan. I have test drove the TSX and Its night and day in terms of power. I commute so I had to get rid of my coupe. 26mpg on the high way just wont cut it anymore. I like the TSX but If I get one it needs just a little more power for my taste. That's why I'm asking about the SC. What kind of gas millage are you guys getting with the a SC. Thanks

My biggest issue has always been with traction, but I plan to help remedy that soon with the addition of an LSD.

I would assume traction does become the issue at a certain point. All the power means nothing if it can't be put to the road. I have the S/C kit at the house and am waiting for the weather to get nicer to put it on (also can't be without a car right now). My one fear is that the S/C may ruin some of the everyday drivability of the car. Ruin may be too harsh of a word, but I don't want the overall balanced personalitiy of the car to be severely altered with the addition of the boost. Also nervous that the car has 2.9 years worth of payments left and don't want things to go wrong.
The one downside I can say is that given the mounting location blower, the car does feel slightly more nose-heavy and is slightly more inclined to understeer when driven hard. That said, I quickly got used to it and now I don't notice it anymore. In addition, once I add the LSD, I'm expecting to retain fairly neutral cornering characteristics overall.
Add the S/C - you won't regret it

I had similar concerns as yours before I added my S/C. I wanted more power, but not at the cost of daily driveability or reliability. However, trust me when I say the car loses none of it's inherent characteristics (sharp steering response, smooth power delivery, etc). The stock S/C runs at 4-5psi of boost which really isn't much, so I wouldn't expect there to be a significant detriment to the longevity of the engine. I had my S/C installed with 15k miles on the odometer, and I have not looked back (currently @ 27-28k miles).

no need to. I've got a 08 tsx. Cai, tbs, rbc intake manifold, thermal gasket, 600cc fuel injectors, DC sports headers, MagnaFlow cats, and a skunk2 cat back exhaust, and a Hondata flash and I keep up on the quarter panel. so it is possible.
