not enough boost!
i have an 03 cl types s six speed with a c/t supercharger, and the problem i am having is that it is only giving me 5lb of boost. is there any way i can get more out of the supercharger because i am not happy with it, almost to the point of selling it. it only has about 30 miles on it so if i can not get more boost i am getting rid of it. can anyone help???

305 WHP/262 TQ... and after I install the CT flywheel/clutch and lighter wheels, I might be running with 325 WHP. And if I get it chipped, maybe another 15-20 WHP. No need for a HBP and besides 91 octane is all that's available in my locale.

And what chip are you dreaming about.

We have all been down this road before and know where the limitations and possibilities are at.

As far as a chip goes... say what you like... CT will be receiving an 04 TL shortly where they will be developing a S/C kit. They believe that the current ESM used for the CL isn't going to work for the 04 TL, so they will need to development an alternate device to alter the signals to the TL's ECU. There is a possibility that this device may also be retrofitted to their current proto S/C'd CL and other current S/C kits too; because of a better and more scalable design. If this is true, then maybe there may be some power to be gained on the CLS S/C kit with remapping of the ECU.
But I'm no expert and won't even try to pretend to know a fraction of what you and others on the board know about this stuff. I'm only speaking of stuff I've already heard out of CT. I've spoken with the MAN at CT that had developed the CL S/C kit on a number of occasions in person. You may be right... I'm just dreaming... but look how long it took UnChip to finally develop the chip and pnp harness for the CL 5AT only. Just maybe CT will get it right this time and follow through with a better design for the S/C electronics.
So if you see my avatar turn blue, then maybe I've held my breath too long.

For instance, I'm in CA where 91 octane is the best I can get. In addition, a smaller pulley means you need to run the belt tighter which can cause excessive bearing wear on the blower and alternator and cause slippage issues (this is according to CompTech).
Anyway, you could runt he HBP without any issues and without any excessive tightening of the belt. I did it for nearly a year at the recommended torque setting for the belt; 24lb/ft.
It'll be a matter of time before the desire creeps over you and you turn.

I think my problem is I'm afraid of getting carried away with the mods (it's too late)

thanxs for all the replies so far i am running a c/t supercharger,c/t flywheel, ACT 4puck clutch,2.5in pipes with no cats into remus mufflers. yes the car ripps ass but it still feels the same as it did without the supercharger.i paid 4500 dollors for 5lb boost, i could have paid the same for a turbo kit and it makes 15lb of boost.maybe i will try the pulley you mentioned.

LOL 15lbs of boost on our cars with it's stock compression equals KABOOM in no time. Maybe if you got new rods and pistons and lowered the CR to 9.0:1. I wouldn't want to run more than 8lbs of boost through our motors and our transmissions for that matter. With an intercooler 9lbs might be safe, but you are smoking if you think you could sucessfully run a turbo at 15lbs of boost for only $4500 on our cars.

The boost is low for a reason, the stock CR does not allow for high boost. There is not a readily available octane rating which could support the very high effective CRs. 6 PSI is about the max non-intercooled and 8 PSI intercooled.
