Gilbert recently relocated down here to Southern California since he is in the military, and we are glad he chose us to help him with his supercharged G35. He left the car with us while he was gone and we got to work. Here is a list of modifications on the car and some pictures, we hope he enjoys the new found power.
Ahh CARB makes sense then. Im really glad I dont have to deal with that on the east coast. None the less congrats to the owner then, hope he enjoys it.
umm a supercharger puts more stress on a motor....especially on the keyway to the crank...trust me i kno...my procharger ripped up two of them! exhaust driven tt powa ftw...
great car and numbers btw...to each his own and yours looks nice!

I would think the turbo causing more stress due to the huge amount of tq all at once. The SC is more linear like the NA so if a SC blows I would image it to be due to over revving or on the top end.
Either way I know my power will cause a problem eventually. But thats why Id build it then if it happens or before it happens. Then at that point Im way above the power Im at now so what the argument about ?
Hey guys. This is my car. I don't want this thread to turn into a SC vs TT debate. The reason I went this route is because I am in Cali and if I have to get smogged, I can load a smog tune and pass. My old setup was on a high mileage engine (+93k), so a rebuild was in my future anyway. Like usingthejohn said, 466 carb-friendly rwhp is respectible. It's a GTM long block, so when I grow tired of 466, I'll upgrade to the T-trim and look into another plenum with some hi-flow cats and hit 500 rwhp.
The power is silky smooth and very linear. I'm slowly learning to modulate first gear to keep the power down. Once I'm rolling though, I can floor it and not go sideways, because there are no steep peaks in torque. I wish I could post vids, but I don't have a camera set up. If anyone wants tape me, I'm down

deanG35c6 I never wanted this to turn into a tt vs sc debate. Before knowing you need carb exemption those numbers seemed very low. But knowing that now I do agree that they are respectable. Anyway hope you enjoy the car.

Those numbers are not low for a Vortech supercharger, and also just because your car made 477rwhp on someone else's dyno does not mean it will make the same power on our dyno. As some stated your number seem high for 9 psi, you are most likely around 440-450rwhp range.
