Well fellas, Got the Charger back from Techco on Saturday afternoon, picked it up at Carlos' house. He took the tequila bottle, threw me the keys and ran inside! LOL! Joking. Took it out on the 405 and the 91 and the 605 and PCH multiple times and just let loose. Car does not hook up at all, even at 60-80mph you gotta ease in to the pedal. As the mph and rpm climb the Techco S/C keeps on pulling there is no end. The sound from the supercharger is not as loud as the Techco vid's portray inside the cabin. You hear the whine when you get on it, but you can carry on a normal conversation without yelling. When you open the hood the it sounds like metal to metal contact but nothing too loud. This car got a ton of stares in Vegas at the Wynn, NY NY, Palms, Bellagio and Mandalay. Driving on Las Vegas Blvd felt like I was on ice, but man the stares it got. The sweet spot on this car is right around 2800 rpm and it just keeps going. We found some industrial road in Anaheim and did a couple 0-100 runs and this supercharger would not stop pulling. Like Hal was telling me traction is a big issue, so I am going to order some halfshafts and probably DRs right away. On the drive back from Vegas, I did notice a loss of boost in the higher elevations of Flagstaff and here at home in Santa Fe. But once Techco comes out with some pullies I'll just swap over. The baseline on this car was 420rwhp, with the Techco it sits at 521rwhp at 4.5lbs. of boost. Again once more pullies come out I'll swap to up the boost. The tune on this car is good but will probably be a work in progress, = there are some rough spots that I'll report back to Carlos and Russ on once I give it a few days up here at 7700 feet. In terms of looks, this thing looks OEM, it is perfect. Only one thing, those that are getting one, I would opt for the polished S/C, it looks f'n badass. I do plan to take off the runners and the front Techco plate and get them polished. A big thanks to Carlos, Russ and everyone at Techco you got a satisfied customer. Oh wait, you forgot to put on my Strut Brace!!! LOL!!! Here is a quick vid I put together, might take a bit to load, camera man was in the back seat holding camera over my shoulder: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTB__f_Betk
Awesome Snehal. Are you running a boost gauge? You should see a 2 - 2.5 psi drop being up this high. haha How does the bro like it? I see you have not found my little touch from when I dropped off 1bad4dr. muahahaha
I gotta install the boost gauge etc. now, I am going to order it probably tomorrow. Bro loves it, he's already pushing for a forged motor and the halfshafts so that will be done fairly soon. What the phug did you do? Carlos told me you didn't do anything! BASTARDS!!!
Cool. Get an A/F gauge as well. In Carlos's defense, he was off doing something while I left the surprise. hahaha
Hahahaaa!!! I'm surprised you didn't notice it right away!!! Perhaps you should look over the car again very closely!!! :sly:oh::bye:
