Wow this car really shines at the top end with the super charger. Befor today the fastst I had the car up to was 120 mph (before the super charger), but today I took it up to 145 mph. The car definately had more to give. I had to shut it down because there was a bend at the top of the road I was going up. Don't worry, nobody was around, accept for a Z3 BMW trying to keep up (twenty buss legnths behind me ).

 

sweeet

get to the track mang

 

I know, where the 1/4 mile at around LA?

 

Dawm, you would have to post this...

I just received an unexpected check in the mail for 4k from my company. Last night, I was wrestling with the thought of installing a SC in my '03 CLS 6sp. But logic had won me over and I decided to pay off some bills instead.

But now...

 

man i want a supercharger, actually if i had the 4k i would invest in a turbo, CL-p has a lower compresion ration and better suited.

 

Sorry about that cls6sp03, you know a 6 speed w/s.c. would be even faster than my TL-S .

 

dont ya love the blower wine, sounds way better than the aem scream, imho

 

It's definately different, can't wait to get a b-pipe and exhaust. I'm still w/stock exhaust, I have headers though. I just tightened the throttle cable and the car is much quicker to get up and go, I guess it boosts up faster now.

 

I agree on the get up and gooooooooo !! I'll have the B-Pipe installed next week

 

Bpipe still not installed yet? Man you have alot of patience. I'm never gonna loosen that cable again!

 

Congrats on the S/C Chem!

 

how do u tighten the throttle cable??

 

enjoy it i have 20,000 miles now on my blower and its a six speed!! oh yea top end it just keeps pulling 5th gear is like 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i need $5k

 

closest one is probably carlsbad raceway @ 5 fwy and palomar airport road. what part of LA do you live in? Let me know if you want to come down and I'll set up a meet at the drag strip.

 

Sounds like fun Jesse.

Looks like clear weather next saturday...maybe we can get in a few runs with my C32 after the brake swap :P

 

Hey that would be great! As long as they're no police around . I can't wait to get the brake setup!

 

On the throttle body there are two cables, one goes to the firewall(accelerator cable), the other to a black box (cruise control). Just loosen the jam nuts on the accelerator cable and take up the slack at the throttle body, if your idle increases you've tightened it too much so back it off a bit.
Hey Mike, sounds like fun! How about some time in January, on a weekend? Holidays and schools got me all tied up for awhile:P .

 

Gonna start saving for the S/C today.

 

Sounds good. Let me know when you have time. Temps should be great in January as long as we don't have a Santa Ana blowing through.

 

I hope not(Santa Ana's), last time the forest almost burnt down! But yeah, January sounds good .

 

I've been on the road, so this is my first real chance. Probably gonna shoot for Tuesday I hadn't herad about the throttle cable, should i ask the tech at the dealer to check it when i have the B-Pipe installed ?

 

Red Rider, won't hurt to ask, but I don't think the deler would recomend it, but all you need is a 12mm wrench. The ramp up of power seems quicker with the slack out of the cable. Have fun!

 

that would be sweet if the tightened cable makes the car faster

 

Make sense, maybe i'll check it out. I do believe they've told me it's as tight as it should be, we'll see. Thanks.

 

still no 1/4 mile slips with the S/C

what has it been now a year

 

I think modaddict ran a 13.8 with the supercharger in his TL-S .

 

plus he was an auto and had vsa on
