I've seen quite a few issues over the years with Iridiums for FI applications, that tiny electrode stays pretty hot and I've seen more than one on the dyno have detonation issues. Swapped over to...

Always put on the Meth Kit, it protects again poor fuel and detonation, massively lowers your IATs, and adds significant HP because you can run more timing. In addition, everyone thinks that because...

The response was that there was "a lot of clutch dust on the bellhousing", so I assume the friction plates ran out of material. It was definitely slipping, which felt way different than what you are...

I've always run what the SC kit manufacturer recommended which is a standard copper core NGK TR6, gapped at .035. Never had a single issue with plugs in 60K miles, just swap them out ever 10-15K...

Update, had it dropped off at RPM and it was indeed the clutch. The Mantic 9000 lasted about 30-35K miles with zero abuse, no burnouts or hard launches, just rolls. I would have expected more...

There seems to be very little traffic in this forum anymore, it used to be way more active 10 years ago. Perhaps it's the age of the C6 and that most that would be supercharged already are. Not...

Clutch died?

Started this summer occasionally but has now gotten much worse. When I dump it, primarily in 4th-5th gear, I get a chatter that feels very similar to wheel hop, before it hooks up. It's now gotten...

Your IATs are taken pre-blower on a PD, so to saying what your IATs are is not accurate. Buy the S/C system that makes you happy, everybody thinks their choice is the correct one. I have 60K miles on...

IMO it is best to find out who has a local dealer/installer for their kits, and use that for your decision. Unless you are installing and tuning yourself. Both kits are excellent, but with the supply...

How are they tuning this thing? Even if they can trick the ECU to add fuel and reduce timing with a piggy back unit, what about the trans tuning? Throwing an extra 200 hp on an untuned & untested...

Meth is a no brainer IMO as I've seen what cars make in March on the Dyno, and what they make in July. I've seen cars drop 100 hp due to high IATs as soon as you start to hot lap them or do multiple...

X100, super simple equation, also factor in a new rear for your 2005 and a twin disc clutch. I've had awesome results from the Mantic I got from ECS, RPM prefers the McLeod or Monster clutches.

Kind of leave it right here. There has been much debate over the years, and I still feel centrifugal blowers or turbos are the best fit for these cars.
