Question If you had a choice...

What would your next big mod be:

1. Comptech Supercharger

2. Custom interior with front and rear 4 point bucket seats in leather; The center console extending down the center front to back.

This interior intrigues me. Whadda think?

3.5L upgrade. Half the cost of the S/C with similar, possibly better gains... but you can keep your engine all-motor.

go for the 3.5L upgrade. How much does that run? Has anyone dyno it to see how much more power it produces. Has anyone hit the track with a 3.5L upgrade.

I'd say s/c all the way. I'd love to experience some crazy torque steer with the s/c! I have a friend with the s2000 and the s/c and the thing is a MONSTER!

3.5 Liter upgrade you're looking at about $3500 out the door. Hp jumps to 44 at the wheel, but the big thing is the torque.... 210lb pounds :wow:

1/4 mile results: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...&highlight=3.5

Dyno: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=80382 (BTW.. TypeR did his own dyno and came up with almost identical numbers, so you can ignore some of the posts asking for an independant dyno)
