Well done Sir!

Very cool.... but.... this is the ECUTUNE kit right? So for the $7500 supercharger kit, you only knock 1.5 seconds off the stock time? Am I correct here?

Why is this car so slow? I mean, it's fast for an SVX, but I was thinking a 400hp SVX would turn 12s. Am I wrong?

PS: Not trying to insult this achievement, just thinking outloud.

Plus the cost of the 6 spd..

And no, Not 1.5 seconds. .5 seconds as his N/A 6spd. time was 14.5.

The supercharger isn't the issue. Its that the SVX hits a wall where you have to mod more and more and more stuff to get exactly where you are now, but prepare it for going faster.

No sense in putting on a 500WHP turbo or supercharger kit if you don't have the fuel, built motor, engine management, transmission, etc for it.

Couple that with the supercharger guys having a real issue with getting enough blower to make big power and still fit under the hood, Its not suprising that a full wieght SVX with a street supercharger kit is only doing 13.9. More over without a built motor, I doubt alot more could be gained over the existing kit.

With a built motor, and a cowl hood, one might assume a larger eaton or maybe one of the upgrade blowers for the 2003-2004 Mustang cobra could be used to push the limits of the car and bring home the fast time slips.

Thank God someone finally knows what they are talking about....Stock SVXi usually run around the 15.5 -16.0 arear so you could say it dropped 1.5secs off a stock time... Also considering an auto that doesn't have to shift 5 times by the end of the 1/4 mile will run faster. But we are hitting a wall at 3500 RPM because we cannot clear exhaust gases well enough... But we have adressed all these issues in our built motor that will be comming very soon.

my n/a 6mt never ran into the 14's so don't try and get wise about what you don't know.

That's what I said. 1.5 seconds faster.... for a $7500 supercharger that supposedly increases power from 230 to around 400. That doesn't make sense. It seems like it should be faster.
