I was down at Factor X Motorsports in Fullerton, CA tonight to pick up my car. They're in the process of doing a clutch replacement for me as well as installing a NOS dry kit for me. (MORE POWER!!! =P)
While I was there I had the opportunity to talk to them about one of their projects and that is their Vortech supercharger kit that is nearing completion. The kit looks very clean and the projected numbers are outright astounding!!! That thing is going to put out some lunatic power. And it's going to debut at a price just shy of $5000. They're looking at an option of a speedster engine bay cover which sounds very cool. I am definitely putting it on my wish list when it comes out. There are a lot of new kits out for the NSX and I think this one will definitely be a contender. For the time being I think I'll have to be content with a 100 shot. ;P
I also have the privilege of having John (Anytime) prototype exhaust on my car at the moment. The guys at Factor X were using my car to do some baseline testing as my car is bone stock. I just got to drive my car home with the exhaust on. Initial impressions? The car at idle is relatively quiet with a nice low hum. Open up the throttle though and it quickly builds up to a raucous roar at WOT. A tad bit loud for my taste but for some of you, I'm sure that'll be just right. Interestingly enough, once you've hit speed and level off, the tone of the exhaust becomes much more placid. They have yet to finish tuning. I just thought you guys might like to hear about it. Good job John!!! =)
