S/C at 12psi!!!
In conjunction with ForceFed Racing and NST we have finished the 12psi setup. Unfortunately going from 9 to 12psi Only netted about 12-15whp. It wasnt very efficient at 12psi w/o an intercooler or water injection. However we did end up with 249whp which is nothing to shake a stick at but also not what we had hoped for. Next will be water injection and we'll see what happens from there. We didnt do any pulls on 98+ octane but if it would have netted the same results as with the 9psi kit we could be looking at 265whp.

I think Munch already was pushin 12psi.. correct me if I am wrong. I am in a debockle.. should I get a s/c or a turbo.. 
I like the idea of keeping my header and intake, since I already have them.. and just slap that puppy on, along with some 12psi pully's..
What do you have done exactly to your tC Lundy?

I am stuck between the two.. I love the turbo sound and performance, but I also seek reliability since I am probally one of, if not the highest milage tC on this site.. I know between pully's and some N2O.. little things here and there.. I think the s/c'd owners are for sure going to be throwing down some sick #'s.. decisions, decisions, decisions..
Plus I want to start AutoX'in too.. I know s/c applications are probally better suited, correct?

I'm not sure about auto-x but I know road racing the supercharger is said to be better. I would think if you could keep the engine in the right rpm during auto-x (about 3500+) you'd make a pretty good showing. I'm wanting to auto-x mine as well but I want some suspension upgrades first which I don't want to do until I get the power mods I'm wanting on. I could be wrong but I think one, if not the, best upgrades for s/c owners will be a new flywheel. Getting into that constantly gaining boost faster will be great for the s/c'd cars.

I'd love to see what a air/liquid chargecooler would net on a 12psi s/c. even running @ 12psi, your still going to see a significant boost loss with a conventional air/air intercooler. Still, 250 whp is rather nice :D is the engine going to be able to handle it?

NST's fit a little bit better. The machining on it is perfect as where ZPI's had a little play at the keyhole. I used the ZPI's for 4k+ and never had a problem though. NST does pulley's and nothing else and I would say they do it the best

Megan Exhaust, downpipe, and Unichip. Stock Exhaust manifold. And no i wont be changing the stock manifold either. I know there are claims that one makes more power than the other but I like the way my cars sounds. I had the header in the past. Its just not for me. I'll give up a few extra hp to have a smooth mellow exhaust note
