Default WTB: supercharger

Between comptech and vortech superchargers, which one packs more of a punch around vtec? I'm looking to spend around 2500.00 on a used supercharger. Pm me if you have a deal!
thanks for looking

If you want to go faster in a straight line then go turbo. SC wont be that much faster than a S2000 on a diet, tuned, and with a good driver..

S/C with a smaller pully will go faster in a strait line. Doesn't have the same torque as turbo but it should pull on any tuned N/A S. I agree with you when you say turbo is the better option but lets give the S/C a little more credit. 100 extra hp to the wheels is a good amount of power.

by the way I may have a Comptech S/C Aftercooled for you with two pulleys 7psi and 9psi and a front mount spearco aftercooler radiator if you are interested in paying more. PM me if interested.

I have seen over 300hp NA tuned S2000s and at about 2200 pounds. You think your SC S2000 could keep up in a straight line and the twisties? I think not...

But anyway back to the topic.

I've never known of a N/A tuned( tuned meaning stand along or piggy back) with stock internals running 300hp to the wheels. But if such a thing existed then yes I believe that the N/A power is better for the twisties than FI. Personally I like the S/C or turbo route better.

Sorry I was comparing street/track attack ASM and J's Racing S2000s to a SC USDM version one. Yeah two totally different animals but you said that a SC S2k is faster...

SC is faster than NA. Sure there are some very fast and purpose built NA S2000s, but they'd all be faster with forced induction.

Sorry this is off topic but Aus you run an S/C right? I can't remember if you ran turbo or S/C but I've seen your posts around. If you do run S/C how many pounds of boost are you running and how does the midrange feel?
