Pettit Super Charger Owners
#4407
Ok, you got me on that Swoop. Im sure theres more to come, gotta catch up with the rest of the guys first, rember the last time I had an 8 to drive it was pre flash gen. and a 4 port. The 1 thing that ive got going is I have alot more room for blower RPM before redline. As for the bigger blower, I think I have a special app for that, can you say 20 cough cough in the yellow 8midinger.

Today I ran my first AutoX since my whp upgrade and new set of TOYO Proxes R1R tires. The course was very tight, lots of 90 degree turns and narrow. I did not kill any cones but I did sideswiped a few (see pictures of side skirt marks). The car ran flawlessly but I need to get used to my new tires. I’m amazed with the extra power and the better handling. There were two 350Z (one of them a Nismo). I think you’ll find them on eBay later tonight.
Here are the videos. Noticed that I had a little problem shifting into second gear on the second video but I guess sh*t happens.
Bottom Line
Reliable, dependable and fun drive either on the road, autocross or at the drag strip.
Life is extremely good.

I really hope this car dosnt have a speed cut off. I was crusin at 90 in 6th at 3k. So if its dosnt have a cuttoff thats 180 at 6k with enough power and im not making any claims yet but that adds another 30MPH to that before redline. OMG The gearing is rite but I think you need atleast 500 hp to get to 200MPH from what ive herd.

you will confirm that a mph cutoff exists on the autos. at my guess is 125?

yeh, i had it on the 4 speed but I also had DSC on that. Im pretty sure that theres maybe anti lock brakes but as for traction control it dosnt have that, i just cut lose in my local parking lot that I run my Kart at. I was aculy 4 wheel drifting dicking around and you cant do that with any traction control on. Im gona wait till after break in (keeping it under 5 k for the next 300 miles then 6 till 1000 after that) to see if its governed, if it is BILL, can you flash that out for me, lol.. Im not trying to put much load on the drive train either, I was G drifting to feel out the car and getting a good rear slide out of the corners, I cant wait to feel 300 WHP.

Londons Yellow Peril
the supercharged 6 speed hits 150mph with ease without even getting to 8000 rpm! (on test track)
Prior to supercharging, if I remember, my car used to 'slow down' in acceleration at around 135, and then crawl slowly faster 1mph at a time.
