supercharger weight
Im sure that im missing something important here but i wanted to ask anyway. i was messing around with some 1/4 mile et calculator and i noticed if u put it in 3001lbs with 190 at the fly ur time is a 15.4 wich makes perfect sense for a max. im looking into a stillen supercharger that says they have 275 at the fly and makes a 14.4 1/4 time. but the only way this work according to the calculators is that the supercharger adds 550 pounds and that jus doesn't seem right. i dont know why i posted this but if u have any comments that would be cool

Yes. The supercharger makes Maximas so fast that relativistic effects come into play and you have to calculate the weight based on m/(1-v/c).
Just kidding.
Total weight of a supercharger kit is less than 50 lbs. The 14.4 sec e.t. seems a bit high to me.
