AWE-tuning claims nearly 40 @ the wheels for their full exhaust system including cats, mufflers, and headers. If added on top of the supercharger I don't see why the gains wouldn't be more profound considering how much less back pressure there would be.
I assumed something close to a peak of 500 @ the wheels wouldn't be out of question...
With X51 cylinder heads cracking 500 might be possible, I like to think positive

What other engine internals did you have to change over to end up with this level of performance? Assuming a proper qualified installation, any guesstimate on lifespan of an engine so equipped?

I'll tell you what kevin, you can have my original timeslip and video of my 11.58 pass at 121 for $100,000. I don't deal in hypotheticals...just facts. You might try it some time. Speak about what you know and not what you think. You may learn a few things.
So, are you going to put up, or shut up. Or maybe just grow up.
Maybe just accept that there are others who may be a little more experienced than you.
Can you say FRICTION LOSS?

Going to have to second this, very valid point.
Not trying to doubt the guy but if you say you have a slip then post the damn slip, what is the problem? Until you do you can say your car runs 10.5 @ 140 mph for all its worth.

I don't know how a 3.4 liter car could outperform the evo 3.6 liter car.

The main gains came from the cats, not the headers or mufflers.

you guys are ruthless!
But, I do not want this to become a "my ***** is bigger than thou's" thread. Those usually just end up upsetting people.
The Evo kit is undoubtedly good as well, or they would not have the customer base that they do. So i really don't want to continue to compare the two kits, especially since we are both sponsors of the same board!
With that said, buy our kit!!!

That would be more than 38 at the crank, just an FYI

i went to the site. you are correct about their "claims". as you said previously, looks like 80 percent of the gains are via the cat bypasses. this would be truly impressive if it's true. i'd still like to see an indepent test on a customer's car as we all know manufacturer's claims tend to be on the, shall we say, optimistic side with the exception of RUF of course who does the complete opposite.

i'm not comparing the kit to evo. i just want to see the dyno plots.
