Yes that is correct. It's a 50whp gain over stock.

Nice Car

[Hedro]

I am still learning about engine modifications and and adding HP to your car so try not to tear me a new one if I sound stupid here, but if your si comes stock with 197 hp and your supercharger adds a "50whp gain over stock" then at the very least you should be putting out 247 HP, right??? I'm confused, someone please help.

[MBK]

197 hp is crank hp or what the engine makes. when it gets to the wheels, what the dyno reads, its in the 170s. so plus 50 is 220 something

[Hedro]

thank you

the car looks great. i actually dont care for the mods you have. i care more for the pics. they're absolutely stunning. you chose a great place to take the pics because of the lighting.

what camera and lense(s?) were used?

Thanks, glad you like the pics. I took these in kind of a hurry, so I'm not completely satisfied, but I needed to get some pics of the car with the time attacks that took their sweet time to get here. I used the same location as my previous shoot, the Colorado Convention Center tunnel. One of those also made it in the 8thcivic calendar, but with OEM wheels

Gear:
Canon 350D body (Rebel XT)
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
EF 50mm f/1.8 II - (used for most of these shots)

Processed RAW in Apple Aperture, and used Photoshop CS3 to add signature and resize for web.

I tried using aperture once... ONCE.. lol. 24-70 FTWWWW. We should have a photoshoot sometime...

I LOVE Aperture's RAW processing 10fold compared to photoshop's. Like night & day.

The 24-70 is one of those lenses you love to shoot with but hate to take out of the camera bag or even hate to take out of the house I should say lol.

Indubitably, we shall has a photoshoots!
