I am new to this forum, but not new to boost, Comptech, or Honda's. Comptech has never boasted having the most ridiculous HP numbers ever. When you buy a Comptech Supercharger kit you buy reliability, good power gain, consistency, and durability. They have superior customer service and the supercharger doesn't need to be serviced for 70k (non-existent with turbo kits) All of their supercharger kits put down reasonable HP #'s on low boost. For instance the 3rd gen TL kit on about 4.5 lbs of boost is making about 65whp. With the addition of an intake and an exhaust it is pushing close to 85whp. With the HBP it ups the boost 2-3 lbs and the whp is yet to be dynoed.

COMplex, as with the case with many people, was looking for reliability and good HP #'s. I have not met one person yet disappointed with the quality or power that their kits provide. A 4 cyl now feels like a 6 cylinder and a 6 cylinder like a 8 cylinder. It is not ridiculous throw you back in your seat power as is usually experienced with a turbo kit once the turbo has reached full spool or peak tq. It takes power to make power with the S/C kit so you have a very linear power curve and a very stead power increase. If you are looking for massive amounts of torque you really have the wrong car.

Yes, he could benefit from a race header and an exhaust, but 40-50whp promised from Comptech has been shown. Besides unless you have a factory beast aren't most of these new Si's putting down about 175-180whp?
