Topic title edited, claims rescinded. Now I'm going to wait for the weather to warm up a bit so i can go do this:

You need to find a nice 1/4 mile track near you, that'd be some pretty useful information too... both ET and trap speed.

Course in an ideal world you'd have pre-supercharger runs to compare to... trap speed is a pretty solid way to judge hp gains without having to worry about dyno downshifts.. especially if you have an accurate car scale at the track to throw into the calculators

Yes. That is the goal. I have more tweaks to do though first. Like machining an 8-rib crank pulley to fix the belt slip issue, and getting that 80mm blower pulley as well. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Agreed. I have knockoff 18s as well though wrapped in Conti DWS for winter. I wish there was a lighter option but I cant help but be pleased with the look of the CV3. Sometimes i do wish they were more aggressive in the rear, as I'm about as low as i can go without rubbing in the front (fenders rolled, bumper tabs relocated).

Coming soon: GFX kit and cross drilled rotors for LOOKS ONLY. Got a great deal on em and needed some rotors anyway. Don't need a lecture.

but dont get me wrong, cv3's are actually my fav looking wheel of all time. very classy / sporty
but once you get some light weight wheel like volks you realize what a big difference it makes in the performance of your car ( i used to own concave stance 19" wheels btw so i have that to compare to )

Another Update:

Switched out to the 8 rib pulley and belt, but now having a hard time trying to keep the belt on the blower pulley. Car goes back to the shop at the end of the week/early next week for more fine tuning, and to put on the 80mm pulley. Hopefully after that we will get some hard boost numbers to work with.

Also, have my GFX front and rear in. As soon as the weather breaks I'll do my last round of aesthetic mods.

ALSO: Possible track day early may. Stay tuned.

Actually Remy, I wanted to talk to you about where I should get my body work done. Mike reminded me that you had some stuff done. May be looking to respray the front bumper, and definitely have to get my SFP GFX kit sprayed.
