Default Vortex Supercharger

Anybody out there ever heard of getting slower drag times AFTER installing a supercharger?

I just spent $10k on a vortex supercharger and my quarter mile time went from 13.1 before the supercharger to 13.5 after the supercharger. My reaction time has improved!

Anybody have any experience with this?

Why would you spend 10k on a s/c?

I'm betting you don't have one, or you just got anally raped.

I left a note about my experience on another thread you posted. You should have picked up a minimum of 100 RWHP and dropped about .7 to a full second off your 1/4 time.

wow...that was a conservative add. Most of the ebay electric superchargers claim 50-60hp...hahaha...get those, and one of those POS Radio shack "power chips" and you have claimed hp lol

but seriously, are you serious about losing power w/ the SC?
