i kno the supercharger claims to give 42-48 hp at the wheel but what does this really mean? i mean like how much of a difference willl i feel in the car when doing a 0-60?

 

Now, I've been at freeway speeds and and buddy and I both gunned it at the same time. Mine is stock, and he has headers. He pulled a little on my through 3rd (Started at about 45mph or so and went up to about 100mph, so it was the start of 2nd gear, redline, shift to 3rd, and didn't quite hit redline). He got a coupl car lengths on me, if I remember right.
I've ridden in a CL-S 6 speed with Comptech Ice Box, headers, exhaust, and SuperCharger. The same guy that has just the headers rode in it, too. The supercharged CL-S would probably pull on his harder than he did on mine.
It was such a rush when the guy launched, throughing you back in the seat, and again so quickly as he shifted to 2nd, you say "****!", and then he shifts to 3rd and he are thrown back again, then all of a sudden the seatbelt is pressing into your skin as you see the nose of the car dive down (did I forgt to mention he had cross-drilled Brembos?). That was a hell of a car. Not sure it was worth all the money, but it would be nice.
BTW, that Comptech guy said they figure the TL-S (or CL-S with auto) would get better numbers from a supercharger than a CL-S with 6 speed because of the traction (just so hard to control that much hp on a front wheel drive car with a manual when launching). If I had a money tree, I would buy one.
Oh, they didn't have 0-60 times for that modded CL-S, but I would say 0-60 in very low 5's.

 

alright sim thanks alot but now i have another questoin.....how would a supercharged TLS do against a g35 coupe????

 

Would probably be a give-and-take race. You might win one, then he might win one... Now, add on all those other goodies and you would be able to take him (in a straight line) every time.

 

Everything is hypothetical until proven, but in theory, a supercharged TL-S will beat an auto G35, but a standard transmissioned G35 would prove to be a close race and anyone's call. Just my humble opinion. . .

 

Quick guesstimate. TL-S 260/232 stock, 3574 lbs, FWD, G35 Coupe 280/270 stock, 3435lbs, RWD.

TL-S with supercharger +40whp... is roughly an extra ~50 crank horsepower which means you're putting out ~310 to the crank, and maybe more with headers/intake/exhaust.

Assuming you have good tires and can maintain traction... You should beat the G35 Coupe.

Just my guess.

 

thanks alot guys for the quick replies.....im sorry but i have one more question.....you said a guestimate of 310 at the crank...so how many lbs of torque is this producing....sorry i really dont know how all this works and thanks in advacne

 

I think the s/c is giving far more torque gains that the i/h/e combo you mostly see here...
I have intake and headers, and I have easily outrun a G35 sedan from a stop and at speed as well as an auto z...I've never run a stick G35 from a stop so I don't really know about that...
I would think that the s/c figures would put you around 5.4-5.7 range without any other mods and with the others, you may be approaching 5 on your best day...
I'm itching badly, so I may let you guys know, soon...I am really looking to get some runs with the car in the next month, post some slips and then get teh A'pexi and do it again before the s/c...Plus I'm still making sure this new tranny is all they claim and so far, it really is!!!
