Comptech sold the 500hp supercharger kits under the factory warranty as long as the dealership installed it. There are twin kits available up to 700HP for less than $10k, and big single dual scroll kits available up to 1,000hp for not much more.

That's fine if you can't imagine it, I stood in the infield and watched it happen with my own two eyes. The Z06 gave the NSX the point by (though with his blinker not his finger as mandated on the banked turns by whatever club they were with) as they came off the infield into Nascar turn 1, and on the back straight the NSX put at least 5 bus lengths on the corvette before the braking zone for the bus top before Nascar turn 3. I spoke with the owner afterwards, it was a single-turbo, rods/pistons, caged, 6-speed 2500ish lb car with driver.

If some of you guys cant see that, then good. Please stay here and infest TR and leave my real racing forums (where I found this project, for example) in peace.
I'm simply pointing out that you can make the NSX as good (if not better for many reasons) as the one you posted for less time/money/fabrication. I saw that NSX out run a GT3 RSR between turns 4 and 5 in the infield in just one gear, it wasn't starved for power anywhere in the rev band.

I'm saying swapping a K is fucktarded because the engine it came with is better and can easily be made faster than a Z06.
