hopefully its a direct bolt on kits and you dont have to fiddle with it to get it right. best get an Air to Fuel meter to make sure its right, if you run rich say in the 10.0-11 you will wash your cylinder down and prematuraly wear out your rings, too lean and you burn pistons and valves

So cool. Beyond the increased performance, I predict crowds will gather (that under hood presence has great "ooh and aw" power).

Oh darn..... that supercharger looks nice.

I also have to say your car just looks stunning, the underside, engine bay ect... look perfect.

whats the total HP with the super charger?

We should be in the 180-190 hp range. The puff of smoke came from the electronic voltage regulator. We switched from positive ground to negitive ground and the regulator did not like the switch, Causing a big puff of smoke a real nasty smell. Test drive tomorrow ...........

Its done, Been done for a couple days...Just finished installing the grill and bumper this evening. What can I say except WOW! The torque is amazing and before you know it your at 5000 rpm's . I have't even really floored it yet! The sound is pretty cool too. Tomorrow we are going on a drive to and thru San Francisco and then north over the G.G. Bridge. We are expecting about 8-9 LBC's should be a lot of fun.
