If you're dead set on making a certain whp goal, make sure you dyno it at an unrelated shop. I've seen cases where the car makes exactly what the owner wanted while at the tuner's shop, and nowhere close to the goal on any other dyno.

It would probably build some confidence if RJ mfg posted some sort, anything really, of progress from the last progress of some cad images. Anyone can draw something up in cad and say they can do it. Where are photos of what is going on? What ever happened to the hood?

Well i asked that it be dyno'd at forged performance for the final tuning process but i just picked up my car from bobby a couple weeks ago to take it to zdays and before I left it was dyno'd by someone who's not a part of rj-m but in the same group businesses that i believe share a few buildings. I don't think there will be any non-sense going on honestly. Ive met bobby in person now and have been talking to him for months and honestly he seems like a really nice guy to me not to mention im sure he's going to do his very best on my car considering the whole forum is basically watching and my car will have the first kit produced. I realize there are a few people on here who've had bad experiences with him or the shop he used to work for but i think most shops have had some displeased customers at some point and there's always two sides to a story but i really don't know what happened im just keeping my fingers crossed that bobby's going to produce a great kit that everyone can enjoy who's in the market for a bad *** supercharger system. I think everyone can agree that it would be really bad *** to have a whipple kit for our platform that out performed the current centrifugal style kits

I'm hopeful, but the fact is that there has been some serious issues in the past. The issues were not with the previous shop - he was the issue. He posted a long attempted explanation here that didn't go over well. He's also been convicted of defrauding the State of Florida for some amount over $50k. Hope for the best, but protect your cornhole.

Mike is still working on the hood. Honestly I'd be fine just modifying my current hood if it came to that. I know bobby is on a trip that he had planned for a while which is probably good timing considering he's waiting for bell to ship the first batch of heat exchangers. As for pictures of the progress I don't have any other than the ones i posted on the thread but i spoke to him a few days ago and he told me the kit should be finished in about 4-6 weeks but im just telling you what he told me..i have no proof to show u to back that up

Agreed. I'll stop hijacking your thread.

You're not letting him or his shop do the tuning, right? It's the Forged guys? You should be ok then.

Its all good. I would be interested in the whole kit but I also want to see what a stock motor tuned can do. And how a stick motor sounds with the supercharger on it, if it makes that famous whine that they are known for. And if it can be reliable. All that stuff will play a huge factor in me getting the kit.

Yes, Si impeller and it was just over 12psi. If the serp belt would have held the power I would have seen over 14 psi and over 550whp.

It's a good thing you and Topz are putting thought into it.. It seems clear that Stillen didn't devote much.

There is really no end to it. You can just keep going forever and ever. There has to be a point where a product designer says ENOUGH and hits the release button. Each manufacturer has to decide where they want to draw that line. Sometimes you are better off getting less as the consumer, because you can use that leftover money to customize to your own preference. When I first got started in the industry around year 2000, back then MOST F.I. kits would without a doubt blow your engine in short time without lots of improvement, especially in the fuel and tuning department. They just focused on getting you the hard parts that you need along with the BARE MINIMUM to get the car to drive down the street. |
