datplayaz/ PoochaKannInc / Clay8898... Thanks guys!

The supercharger is still running strong which is good.

There is a surge in power around 3500 rpm under 1/4 throttle. In other words it doesnt run relatively smooth at that point. It doesnt happen everytime, just on certain occasions it will surge. Under WOT the TL shows no signs of surging.

Under WOT, you can hear the rush of air coming out of the exhaust and its rather impressive. I like the sound of it.

I havent done any videos yet but I'll get there.

Congrats on the S/C...sounds like it's working out well (that's good to hear). Any chance you'll be around in the near future? I'd love to check it out in person!

chill_dog... Just let me know when you wanna feel the power of the SC. I usually go cruising saturday nights in the south Charlotte area.

invincible569... Those header/downpipes would definitely put the WHP at 300. I hope it goes through.

kw1k... I think I feel the most power gain in 1st gear due to the increase in torque at 2100 rpm (69 lb/ft torque increase).

CCColtsicehockey... Whats up Jason. I'll get up there eventually for one of the shows. Maybe one of the HIN shows and SEMA IAS.

Haha sorry for keeping you guys in suspense with the video clip.

I've been a little busy with work and school this past week, and now the Carolina Panthers are taking away the attention from the supercharger.

My intent is to compile different clips of the TL and other cars into one complete video segment with script, techno music, and special effects.

I'll try to hurry it up.

The Supercharger is Phenomenal.

I'm contemplating a mirror modification.

It's a toss up between a TSX mirror or an APR GT3 mirror.

Check it out...

rsx mirrors would look good, there is one guy with them on acurazine (forgot his name, but he has the rj kit, tinted lights, and rj 3piece)

but those cf mirrors look bad imo

Are you worried about loosing your side mirror defroster?

Are you still trying to lighten your car?

I think you should come up for two shows. Carlisle Custom Compacts which is a 3 day show May 5th - 7th and HIN Atlantic City, NJ June 24th. I am also planning on going to SEMA also.

invincible569... I'll lose the defroster and reverse tilt mechanisms but that'll be allright. As far as weight reduction this mod wont contribute a whole lot. Maybe a few lbs. I'm sure theyll reduce the drag coefficient by .00035 haha.

chill_dog... Thanks for reminding me to clear out my PM box i didnt even realize it was full. Whenever you wanna check out the supercharger just let me know i'll be around this weekend.

CCColtsicehockey... I've already planned a few shows i'll be attending...
HIN DC 4/22
HIN Charlotte 5/13
SEMA IAS Atlantic City
Nopi Nationals

I checked www.semaias.com and the show is being held in Philadelphia this year on April 8 and 9. They have an Acura class 1st thru 3rd. I'll more than likely be there.

Congrats on the SC!!!! I can't wait to see the vids and dyno testing. I am also curious if your TL can run in the low 13's or cracking the 12's. I am sure yours is if not the one of the fastest TL in the planet. Keep up the awesome mods!!

Thanks bro! Got tied up this past weekend with the panthers/seahawks game...havent had time to run a video. Plus its been raining for 4 days. I'll have one up before long. I predict it'll run a 13.5 @ 106 in the 1/4 mile. I'm not sure if its the fastest TL on the planet, but I guess we'll see when i get the time slip.

I've got three more modifications that will go on the car here within the next couple months. Can anyone guess what they might be?!

1)Cosmetic mod...
2)Cosmetic mod...
3)Performance mod...

You guys are too good!

...Apparently the bodykit in my avator is listed on the Versus Motorsports website now and I will be looking into this.

2006 modifications could be:
1) APR CF mirrors
2) Versus motorsports front bumber
3) E shift ProCat
4) 2 Sparco Speeds in the back seat
5) ICE

I believe you should go with just the front bumper. In my mind you should get the entire kit. I also dont think you should get the 2 sparco seats in back but instead find a wrecked TL that has black interior and swap them out. I also think you should go with the TSX mirrors. I drove a buick park avenue before I had the TSX and the mirrors were really small and you couldnt see anything at all. Hey If you want when I come down this summer for a show I can design a simple Ice setup like mine in your car.
