desertheat, thx for the launch tips.
I'm really glad to see some of the times that have been run with ( for the most part ) a stock sc... you pulled a 14.7, and i've seen elsewhere a 14.6 ( I believe ); that gives hope to someone like myself that even stock sc's can/do run strong ( my bootie & my experience tells me ours does anyways ), and I don't have to rely on mag reports that can't even clip below 15 with one.
I still think that these sc cars w/ some mods should be able to pop in the 13's, and that is moving quite nicely for a front driver. Good luck on your quests out there to do so....
I for one will never slam anyone for trying their car out; i'll only applaud when results are published for all of us to read/compare/take notes/etc... these forums can be helpful to all of us readers, no matter what our age group.

I for one will not be going to the shootout even if it was west coast. Great marketing gimmick from the zippie boys, take cars with aftermarket management tuned to there best to show off what they have for sale. At least I see through the crap.

I am no biased I just see through companies bs and hype with ease. All in good fun! I would be happy if they release a product on schedual... like the intake for the sc... that would have been nice.

Huh...ZPI isn't even running their cars. All the participants are, or who ever wants to run. Did you go to the Turbonetics Open House day? Same marketing...

Hey guys.. You gotta keep it down about ZPI, if you say anything wrong about them this thread will get locked... Havent you noticed the biased thread locks in here yet?
Say something wrong about ZPI, make a great point, and the mods will drop on knees and lock the thread so we wont get an answer.. Just letting you know that we need to be careful.
Oh and BTW, Awsome numbers man.. cant wait to see you get into the 13s.

^^Yeah, but no one should be scorned for speaking their minds, and having their own beliefs and thoughts. If he dosen't like ZPI, so be it. You can't please everyone out there. But business is business. Keep moving.

Some of us are scorned everytime we say something because it is against a company. I would like to hear from them when I ask them something, instead of a mod locking it because of the favortism..

Just curious, what kind of gas mileage are you getting with the supercharger on a regular basis?
I've been running the turbonetics turbo kit and hitting around 27-28mpg with it. And, of course, the power gain is awesome.
