Results after Comptech Super.
Just after finish installing a comptech supercharger today. My cousin took it for a test drive and I was in the car with him. It... wasn't what I expected. 
The car felt faster none the less, but it didn't feel to sit me back in the seat at all.. There must be something wrong with the car. I nearly felt as a stock s2k but just a tad bit faster. I don't think it was at full boost. However, it comes to mind is what is wrong with the car? He only has the supercharger with the aftercooler, doesn't have any tuning, exhaust, headers or the such.
I am thinking maybe the car is running rather rich, or the stock blow off valve must not be closing and keeping open so he really loses boost... rather depressing after days of hardwork.
Any insight would be appreciated. I don't believe the supercharged s2k is that slow. I wouldn't really know until we get it on the dyno. I will try to give you guys an update.

It doesn't add much torque, it adds horsepower.. remember what I said this morning via PM's? 
The usual responses will be "make sure the belt is tightened correctly". If the supercharger is spinning correctly you'll be getting around 6 psi of boost at 9000 rpm, even though you really can't feel it... sorry.

nono Aznxkuku...welcome to the world of S/C'ed s2000's. That what I've been telling everyone that wants a S/C in my area. There's really no truth to the hype. The butt dyno doesn't feel anything because the power is so progressive. If you're looking for power you can feel, S/C isn't the way to do it on this car.

Something doesn't sound right....you should feel considerable difference. Not mind blowing, but decent at the least. I've driven Vortech/4.57 gear setup in the S and it's very impressive. Untuned...
