Supercharged R0tary P0wah!
That's on a STOCK Mazdaspeed Protege, like I said, I'm walking it, from a DEAD stop, with a flagger, no different than the track when you're out in the middle of no where besides the fact you don't have a big light saying that you're finishedl.

Street races mean nothing, sorry.
But again, good luck once you hit the dyno or drag. That's where the real info will come from.
Alright,
So, since everyone here obviously agree's that the chargers crap, WHY don't we have any more kits out that are something like a twin screw, obviously there a few customers out, and many more who are running the Camden.
FOR THE LAST ******* TIME, it's not a drag car, it's not even going to be brought to the track, it's my daily driver.

There have been kits in the past, do some research there were a couple developed in past years. However, there was not enough interest, not enough sold, so they were discontinued. Piano Prodigy or something is the guy that had the supercharged vert with 210 or 220rwhp, but his supercharger was much different.
Dude calm down... there's a big difference between a dedicated "drag car" and something you take the track once. My 2nd gen was my DD but I took it to the track a few times for kicks. What's the big deal?
Don't want to drag it ever, fine dyno it that will be your info. But I don't understand why you want to street race, which is more dangerous and much stupider, than drag. Kind of odd?
The paxton doesn't look to do too much better from the graph I saw, 20 RWHP more than the Camden...
I've had everyone in the world tell me the charger was crap, check the last six pages of this thread, and the last four of my other thread buddy.

Just chill man, learn to take things as they come and ignore what you don't care about. If you like it, more power to you. If others don't, screw them, why should you care?

Plus it retains stock idle and can pass emissions.
If I start another thread, the nay-sayers will follow, just like this one.
I'm trying something different, that most people don't do, just like your avatar says, it's not the most popular thing, but people love it locally at the car shows and at hang outs and what not, it's get the attention that nothing else has gotten on this car.

I think the biggest problem that exists is right here:
A) we KNOW it's your car
B) we KNOW you like your car
C) we KNOW you like that it's supercharged
D) we KNOW you don't care what it puts out
However, what most of us have even said/listed, isn't bashing you or your car, it's providing pretty much factual accounts and information on the charger and it's short commings, replies to what you say/mention as far as performance, issues with the thing, and comparison of what it and every other like it has made. Obviously, a lot of it looks negative. Think of it like ReTed, the brutal and harsh truth, it's not all to pretty and you don't like it, but it keeps you realistic and it lets you know what you've got and what it's capable of and you don't go kicking yourself come dyno day. Sure, you may not want that in your thread and want to be happy thinking it's running mid 14's as it sits (and i'm sure it feels that way compared to what it used to be), but in a public forum people are going to know enough to realize it's not possible and say something.

If you don't like what people say, don't post about it. Once again, some people like stuff you do, some don't. Who cares? Either learn to ignore it, or don't post about it. Pretty simple choice.
I never said it's running mid 14's I said it FEELS like it is, two totally different things, I never once stated, my car runs a 14.5 due to a street race...no I was just stating a estimate based on facts.
I don't care about dynos, AS STATED BEFORE, I MADE 110 HP on the Dyno, I got beat by the Ricer 180 SX or whatever the hell it was who made 120HP and 140 FT/TQ smoking everywhere, did It bother me...nerp

Because it started off as a video of it running, people started posting negative comments about the design again, completley ignoring the whole thread topic and four pages later here we are...
It walks away from a Mazdaspeed Protege that runs mid 14's, you say you guesstimate 190rwhp, it beat a cammed camaro, I'd say that implies pretty well you believe it's in the mid 14's.
Well, then don't post what you think it does then? If you don't post stuff like "it feels like a 14 sec car" or "it feels like 190rwhp" and etc, then people wont contradict you or ask you to prove it.
So once again I say, if you don't want to hear that people dislike stuff, or you don't want to hear that people don't believe you, then don't post that stuff. Very simple :\

If I didn't post and no one posted, then it would not be a regular forum?
As for my saying it feels, yes, because I've driven in all kinds of cars and to me, thats what the butt dyno feels like, no official results, which is why I say FELT.

But I could say the same to you. Do not blame people of things you yourself are guilty of.
I'm really getting tired of saying this so many times, but.... if you don't wanna hear ****, don't post ****. If you don't want people to put words in your mouth, don't put words in theirs.

For the last time, you posted a thread because you wanted to. Good for you, lots of people do this every day. BUT... realize this is a PUBLIC FORUM, so don't freak out like a little child and get pissed when people don't like what you do! Once again, I'm not one of them, I just think you aren't being realistic.
But before you edited a post you said "Bye rx7club" "too many haters" "biggest waste of bandwidth" and so on. You NEED to realize that IF you are going to post, some people will like it, and some WONT. So don't freak out when people don't, either ignore them, or reply without going nuts. That's what a "regular forum" is, so deal with it.
And lastly, if you post what you "feel" your car does, expect people to get pissy over it since it's not real. Either realize this and deal with it, or don't post it!
Notice a trend here yet?
Anyways, I guess I'll get out of this thread since it's getting worse by the moment. But again, I never badmouthed the kit, I badmouthed how you were going about it and handling things. Good luck and I wish you the best.
By what you have posted its seems to be the case.
You said it walks away from a 14 second car, you said it feels like a 14 second car. What would you think that it implies?
I'm done on this thread. Learn to take it on the chin once in a while.
