Default Let's try this again....

ClubLexus appears to be having some indegestion tonight so let me try again.

I was going to writeup a long version of my supercharger install story. It's worth telling but to be honest I just can't seem to find the time to do it. As such a short version, leaving lots out, will have to do and I'll try to answer questions here.

SRT Stage II GS400

Enjoy,

Peter

You mentioned that you will get an optimized ECU for your setup. Where are you gonna get it from? SRT?

RacingAristo: Yep. We basically ran out of time because I had to hit the road. So though we've got a decent fuel map in there now based on the dyno runs it can still be "optimized"

Peter, it looks great, and CLEAN! Congrats again.

A word of caution: Don't put on too much weight eating all those unsuspecting Ms out there!

Dexter: It'll never be as clean as yours!

enginyr & Mark: Regarding price, I hate to say this but the best answer is to call Mo at SRT and ask what the current pricing for a Stage II is.

CL was discounting the SC and that' s what I picked up. If you look at what I've paid for all my mods and also at the SwiftRacing site for Stage II pricing I think you can come pretty close to figuring out what I paid.

Mark: Re: horsepower gain. Did you actually click on the link? There's a dyno sheet posted there!

VERY NICE!! Congrats! Install does indeed look very very clean...

So when are the regular "production" models going to hit the streets? Nice to see Mo turn some product out...some of us have been wondering...

Those wacky bozo's at my ISP seem to be doing some strange caching/backup non-sense. I've fixed the link above to point to the "proper" place. Let me know if you have any more problems.

Hey Mr. Johnson(Peter),

Is that Max Power of 235.5 HP on your bone stock GS400? If so, it seems as if your stock numbers are HIGHER than the numbers advertised for the SRT HFI/ECU which has a stock output of 226 HP HMMMM...Interesting

I seem to recall a debate as to how low the stock numbers are on the GS400 tested for the SRT HFI/ECU and was told that was what was expected for a stock GS400. I wonder why you got higher numbers?

Good power-though I don't think you are estimated at 410HP at the crank since you gained only 87HP...but still good power.

One question, the HP and Torque curves look a bit ragged. I am hoping that there is an ECU fix for that cuz it's not very pretty. Did SRT address that in any way?

Good work and looks like the SRT product is very clean and well-manufactured.

Brent
