I just dont know if it is worth it --- 227hp there are some guys on here getting 205 with IHE.
Dont get me wrong, It is kickass. But for 3500.00 I would expect more.

This is a Quote from Shaun Church from TOV....

In this case though, it looks like it is running closer to 13:1, which is too lean for a SC application, even at 5 psi or so.

Definitely a disappointing number IMO. Project Si put down nearly 215 hp and 150 lbs-ft on a dynojet (it is making another 5 hp since then with more tuning). So, I agree, an extra 10-15 hp and less than 10 lbs-ft from a supercharger (with its attendant heat soak issues) is definitely not impressive at this point.

On older RSX's with the JRSC or Comptech kit and Kpro we make a solid 260+ hub hp and 185 lbs-ft on a bone stock car + SC and Kpro at 5 psi. That would equate to about 245 and 170 lbs-ft on a Dynojet. Still not awesome, but more respectable.
