General Supercharger Thread

It's totally stock and always has been.

 

Off the line & mid accelerator it's great. It's better in S6. But it's boggy when trying to accelerate at freeway speed.

It was 118 & I had driven 40 or so miles at the point I was coming home & wanted to get away from passing lane furnishers.

I will get a log tomorrow and try to recreate it.

 

My transmission had some buggy behavior immediately after flashing. It worked itself out with a few drive cycles.

I’ve been following slow people all week - one guy puttering at 50 in the passing lane (one of two passing lanes in 40 miles) and then down to 27 mph in a 55 zone cuz there was a sweeping corner… Then of course as soon as I bust pass them they ride my tail at 80.

 

It's infuriating, my favorite is when you pass them & they are mad at you. It is illegal, I wish I could see one get pulled over ONCE.

 

No joke. Coming home late late one night from out of state on a two lane highway - I caught up to a car that couldn’t keep it between the lines, varied speeds between 45 and 75 mph, and looked generally unsafe to operate on public roads. I followed for a few miles through some hills and could see through the back window to the driver while he was busy eating something, chugging down a drink, shifting gears, and holding a phone to his ear. When he flicked his cigarette butt out the window that sparked across my hood, I wondered what appendage he was using to actually drive the vehicle considering everything else he had going on, and I put my foot down to pass him. As I got up along side him, the dufus downshifted and revved his little motor to the moon, so I just let the truck eat. He somehow managed to flip me off through his partially open window while yelling at me as my exhaust screamed past him at 110 mph; he managed to make it to 90 but with headlights approaching in the distance, I wasn’t gonna dawdle. I can only guess at what his stupefied face was thinking when he saw my enclosed trailer in tow. I mean, how rude it was of me to try and pass this guy - total jerk move on my behalf, I guess.

 

Passive aggressive left lane driving is a trademark of the Seattle/Portland corridor. That Tesla/Prius/Crosstrek is totally not going 10 under to bother you. They enter the freeway and immediately go across 4 lanes to take their position as well.

Best part of the (supercharged) Tundra is it’s unsuspecting as a fast vehicle and the race exhaust sound often shocks and awes the urbanite.
