Supercharger Sub 12s 1/4 Mile?
Hey all,
I am currently considering a super charger (Stillen Kit) for my Nismo but I have a few questions. 1. What sort of 1/4 mile times are people getting with super chargers, is a sub 12.0s pass possible on street tyres? 2. How useable is the power, does it actually hook or is it just lots of wheel spin / TC kicking in? 3. For people who have done it, would you say it was worth it? Thanks |

I can't answer any of your questions - but look into the TopGunz kit instead of the Stillen kit. It's literally the stillen kit without the flaws of the stillen kit.

Size - are you thinking 285/35/19...or 325/30/19...or go down to 18's (even 17's) for a thicker sidewall? Compound - even PS Cup 2's are considered street legal, or are you thinking along the lines of PS4S? Just my 2 cents, pls carry on.

Boost on the Z is most useful at speed. It's pretty useless in 1st or 2nd gear without slicks. You better have some tremendous throttle modulating ability to launch without spinning the rear tires.

Not 1/4-mile races, but take a look on YouTube at OKC Boostdz. He runs an A2A Stillen kit with 17psi, and absolutely crushes everything he races against. I don't condone the races he does, but his car makes some serious power, and somehow manages to maintain traction to the pavement.

also with a good tune you can get the torque curve ramping nicely to minimize traction issues.

I managed to find one video of OKC Boostdz at Thunder Beach 1/4-mile track. I don't know how much boost he was running (some of his videos are at 12psi, others at 17), but his best time was 11.6 @ 123.89.
