How can you have an HKS supercharger and not post dyno sheets?

I don't think these cars can hold much more then 100 extra horsepower , so I doubt the dyno is anything worth bragging about

Never knew this post existed. Does it say somewhere that if your car is boosted, you need to post the dyno sheet? lol Keep in mind that this is a 5000 lbs luxury sedan...I didn't supercharge it for the speed. I supercharged it cause it's my car and my money.

You're right...with a full audio in the trunk and how heavy the car is already...it's nothing to brag about. But once I gas it and the HKS Supercharger kicks in...big smile on my face...that's all that matter.

Unwritten law. We wanna know what you get for your buck, and how high you can go until the transmission takes a dump.
