370Z Dynoed in Japan on a Dynapack 12.18.08

Agreed. Electric cars are fast because they make torque, not power. Unfortunately, it seems that the biggest misconception people have is about what torque and horsepower are.

The t-zero electric car does 0-60 in under 4 seconds with less than 200 hp. (I think it was around 180). But because it makes 180Lbs of torque and it gets 100% of it's torque from 0 RPM to 6000 RPM, it accelerates faster than a 500 HP Viper.... Problem is that most ICE (internal combustion engine) cars lose 80% of their power through heat and vibration.

Anyway, back to the subject, if the 370z's hp/tq numbers where swapped, the car would be a LOT faster. (Which is why superchargers are the number 1 racing forced air choice)

Yeah probably why I will supercharge mine when it is paid off.

Good luck. You'll need to figure out a way to get the SC to push air very evenly through to both throttal bodies. Dual throttal body setups are really best with turbos. The air flow is naturally even and there's still a lot of control and potential with the trubos. Upgrades are better as well. But if you're willing to spend the money, I'd love to see it happen.

The hardest part of doing a SC on a car not meant for it is finding a place to put the SC. I can only thing that using the magnacharger design is the only way. And that is to replace the entire intake manifold with a root-style blower.

I'd love to see it happen though.
