GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Kit Report:
So I've had the car for about 2 weeks now and just giving a quick update to those who are following the build.
1. I pushed the car on Saturday and opened her up next against a Single Turbo G35. Safe to say, that I pulled hard and fast away from the other car. Just wanted to make sure it was fast ;-)
2. Engine noise is pretty loud. You're going to have to turn up your music as the noise is overpowering at times. Something to consider but I don't mind hearing my engine, supercharger, and bypass valve =)
3. Speaking of music, this might be something totally non-related to the SC Kit, but I do experience my audio lowering in volume randomly. Mostly when I'm pushing the gas... Like it doesn't happen everytime, but it does happen enough to notice. Again, maybe totally unrelated.
4. Stock Traction Control. VDC ON. The car compensates and slows the car down when this is on. I have yet to drive it with VDC OFF and am afraid to until I have a wider/open lanes of travel. For this long weekend, I'll create some videos with my GoPro and Canon 60D
5. Fuel rate (MPG). I notice this car eats gas like a Samaon family at a buffet. I find myself looking at the mileage a lot as it drops rather quickly. Safe to say, it's not used to save gas =P
Closing comments:
Car runs great. SC whine is noticeable once it's completely warmed up. Bypass valve can be heard from far away when pounding it. And it's a head turner for sure...
