That would be cool! Maybe have some customer rides into wallpapers once they've shipped out and we've had a chance to install and take some pics!

I wish I had the money to throw down on this kit soo bad... but I dont, and I think I will wait till the warranty is up.

BTW: any updates to a intercooler add-on kit?

OK I have scanned this thread that now looks like a small book but I must have missed it. What problems would we see if we had the SC kit and say my mom, or dad, or someone is driving my car and decides to be nice and fill'er up with some 87 octane (not that we wouldn't let em know about the 91)?

Running a low quality fuel with the supercharger increases the chance of detonation. You might not notice this in vacuum (out of boost), but you will most certainly have detonation in boost.

This is why the instructions specifically state, "91 octane is REQUIRED!" There are no exceptions. If someone drives your car that much, be sure to clue them in.

Is there a 91+ sticker for my gas cap door in the kit, or do you know where I could get one?

Would the base kit without the injector upgrade increase torque at low RPM at all? The dyno seems to suggest the base kit has virtually no effects below 3000.

From the looks if it, it seems like OJR drives you car more than you. You might as well give him pink slip.

i'm sure it does, the graphs themselves just don't go down to the super low rpms. the graph starts just before 3000 rpms.

When we start the dyno run, it is from a 20MPH roll in third gear. We simply cannot get down to 800 RPM. So do not try to imagine what the graph looks like to the left.

Not seeing the pic of the kit has actually held me back from pre-ordering this product. Oscar, think you can at least shoot us a pic of the kit on the car and on the floor all spread out by parts before pre-orders finish? Thanks

If i had all the parts here, laid out, and ready to ship... I would be shipping them to you guys, and the pre-order discount would be over.

Live just south of Denver since moving from the OC 4 years ago, do you have a shop in Grand Junction? that would be cool for me at least.
