Default upgrade supercharger for 8th gen civic and rsx type s

I recently bought an upgrade kit for my 07 Civic SI from Magnum Powers. I made 386hp and 272 torque at only 17.5 psi with the supercharger turning only 14,400 rpm so there is a lot left to be had. I've had the kit for a while now, fun to drive and very reliable." Magnum Powers' website is: http://www.magnumpowers.com/honda_pro_pri.php

my mod list was
ssr replica header
3" exhaust
14gph methanol kit starting at 7 psi (AIS kit)
supertech valve train and 3.5" intake

This must be the car he was talking about the other day. We've had them rebuild a few B series Jacksons for us as hes only an hour from us. Powerband looks good

seems like you need to get that head breathing a little better if your seeing 17psi @ 14,400rpm, ashame they dont do the old B series jackson racing kits

Very impressive numbers. Do you know what your IATs are? Hows traction on the street? Been to the track?

Congrats on a kick *** setup.

thanks Iats were steady around 130 but pick up at 7k-8k at about 160 with methanol (70/30 mix) traction depends on tires, mounts and how you drive for me there is but i dont redline all day
havent been to the track yet, just finished this 2 weeks ago

Odd I have problems with traction in 1st and 2nd gear at anything over 50% throttle. Figured you'd be worse.

I look forward to hearing about your track times.

Put the hp numbers in your title and it'll attract more attention.

Put this beast on the track yet?

its way too expensive for an "upgrade kit", remember, people still have to shell out about 2 grand for a JRSC kit first before they get this 1800 dollar upgrade kit. Its cheaper to go turbo by that logic.

So other than your short mod list above, the engine is otherwise stock? Are you using Kpro?

I'll take that torque curve and power levels over the equivalent turbo torque curve any day of the week. Even if it means spending an extra $1 to $1.5K.

you dont have to buy the hole kit, you could always order the parts to use it from jackson racing. would still cost a little more but you get a lot more out of it

I see that this is an old thread but was wondering what parts you would need from CT to make this setup work or if your even able to get just the parts you need from them. And maybe some kind of price?
