in terms of hp i think the sc is not that good at all. 50 hp gain on our cars..... with sc, usually you can expect 30-40% gain. our car stock is around 190hp, 50 is only a bit more than 25%...... my bet is it's coz' of the tranny and powertrain

Well, you can also swap out the pulleys and run higher boost if you're a gambling man...

yeah, i mean if i really have the money to get the sc, i would probably just put in another 2k to swap out the whole manual, torque converter, etc etc......

They arent talking about "Mr. Hyde" the guy that we know who posts on the boards. I think this is more or less just describing the twin personalities of the car with the supercharged engines. I was wondering the same thing when i first read the story.

Did you guys see the article about the comptech supercharger in the latest issue of Sport Compact Car magazine? It says the supercharger for the Accord is already out and the one for TL/CL/TLS/CLS/CLS-6 speed should be out very soon.

50hp is good considering it's throught the whole power range. I mean the headers add what 32hp in mid? Plus the 50hp is projected for the Accords and TL/CL-P. We all know that the headers add more power to the Type S models and maybe the same applies here.

you could be right, gain across the whole band is definitely a nice thing. if there is 75hp gain at wheel on our cars it would be a nice thing

Jeez Louise, $4500 for the SC, $2000 for the headers to get that 100 HP increase. That's some serious chunk of dough.

If I ever want to own something like that it'd have to be after my car payments are done.

And what about our origami-soft transmissions?

simple, change it as well. i am serious, think about it, the sc could easily burn the tranny, why not just get a new better one?

I dunno... $4500 for the SC, $2000 for the headers, $500 for a Level 10 TQ, $2500 for a Level 10 tranny... that's $9500, excluding labor. Wouldn't I be better off buying a $45k car in the first place?
