NSX-T (2005) peak 336.3WHP/236TQ/7500 mi.
Several weeks ago, I was scheduled to bring my car into CT for a pre-install dyno. Then I was going to get the CT i/h/e installed at Acura, followed by a post-install dyno. The day before I was scheduled to bring my car into CT for the pre-install dyno, Shad called me and asked if I'd be willing to lend them my car for some development work.
The Whipple blowers (roots type) for the NSX SC kit are no longer available. So CT has been working on a replacement blower (Autorotor) for the last 6 months. They completed the 3.0L NSX SC kit with the new blower and were scheduled to use someone's car for the 3.2L NSX SC kit. But at the last minute, the 3.2L NSX wasn't available.
So Shad made me an offer I couldn't refuse. For letting them use my car to finalize the 3.2L kit, they would install the CT i/sc/h/e at a very very good price.
Plus, they would do a dyno run for baseline, i/h/e and i/sc/h/e to see what each mod gained. I wasn't planning on the SC until next summer, but this was too good to pass up.
Stock
WHP: 247.4 @ 7200
TQ: 194 @ 5400
I/H/E
WHP: 266 @ 7500
TQ: 197 @ 6500
I/SC/H/E with ~5.9 PSI boost
WHP: 336.3 @ 7700
TQ: 236 @ 7000
A 88.9 WHP/42 TQ gain. Not too bad Next, the stage II kit (bigger injectors, smaller pulley and a black-box) that might make between 30-50 more WHP. Not available yet, but CT is considering it.
Additional Info
Both the Whipple and Autorotor blowers are 1.6L each. However, CT found that the Autorotor blower made 7 PSI boost using the original 6 PSI pulley. This is because the Autorotor blower design moves air more efficiently. The Whipple blower's end-casting had an opening at the top to pull air from, where as the Autorotor blower is less restrictive, pulling air through all of the end- casting. When my car was dyno'd, it was making close to 340 but running very lean at the upper RPM's. So CT did a test and put bigger injectors in. That made an additional 25WHP, but that made the mid-range RPM's too rich. They ended up going with a larger pulley to slow blower down which put boost back to 6 PSI. The Autorotor is also a lot quieter.
I'm very pleased with the results. Although these aren't earth-shaking numbers, car is sooooo much quicker and pull really hard in 1st-4th gear, as well as having a lot more grunt in 5th and 6th. The down side, the car's handling is no longer in par with it's power.
Oh, and the sound of the i/sc/e is sooooo sweeeeet. I feel as though I've got a completely new car again.

Affirmative on the NSX-T... although, it's not really officially considered a targa, don't know why

The NSX is 14-year-old design and engineering, yet the car will never get old. To me, the NSX represents Honda's ingenuity at its finest. Even though there are many cars now that can be had for less money and will outperform the NSX, it took a decade to do so. But I've read that the NSX is still considered one of the best handling cars in the world.

For the price I can't think of any other true exotic I'd buy over the NSX.
Can't believe I missed this thread before.
What's really cool is at the same boost level the CL-S 6MT will make more torque than the NSX

1st: 47

3rd: 102
4th: 130
5th: 160
6th: 202
Several road tests reported stock 3.2L NSX's running 0-60MPH in 4.5secs and a 1/4 mi. @ 12.9secs. With the CTSC, God only knows what mine does now.

These vids were posted earlier, but most of you prabably missed them. So if you don't mind, I'll link to them from here.
Several weekends ago, I was up in Medford, OR for a car meet. On our way up to Crater Lake, we found a huge empty parking lot off the highway, in the middle of no where; a perfect place to shoot a video. About one- third of the way through the video you'll see a SC'd NSX do a fly-by.

Download may take a while, but is well worth it.
Here's a run-off: SC'ed NSX vs. CTS-V with exhaust (right-mouse, Save Target As -- 19MB)
