I am thinking about the R2300 but honestly, I am getting kinda curious of what it can do NA.. with the V3@10 psi, I was running mid 12's@110mph with a horrible 60 ft. (2.0/2.5), when the stock torque converter would just bog horribly.
I am wondering if a high stall torque converter, drive shaft, cams and FRPP intake manifold can do on a 93 octane race tune. I'd be very surprised (and happy) if it hit's low 12's (12.2/12.3)
I am pretty sadistic though.. if It doesn't sell, I'll just put it back on rofl
It's a cake walk.. but I'd rather have something I can just set up and leave alone!

Yeah I'd sell yours and put the cash towards a different one.
That way you don't have to go through the hassle anymore.
Odds are you will enjoy the experience of having owned more than
one brand of blower too!

Here are some pics, I have some more but computer was acting up and not able to upload..
Got her up on a rack, you don't have to but it makes the job of loosening up the intercooler pipes a ton easier.
Intercooler pipes from the bottom.
Right side piping.
Supercharger housing with bolts holding it onto the front cover of the motor/left cylinder head.
Only bottom bolt shown.
Cam position sensor and oil drain line for V3.
TB inlet pipe comes off first, then the CAI arm and MAF sensor.
Not shown, but bypass valves both come off.
Bypass valves on top of my cai intake.
Yank off the belt, with tension on the tensioner.
Hot side of the V3 off as well as the TB pipe.
Blower comes off. 6 bolts hold it on.
This thing is MASSIVE and looks like a big ol turbo, minus the thermal efficany lol
Pulled off the idler pulleys w/spacers, these were metal wheras my stockers we both plastic.
A mess of vacumm lines, one connected to the brake booster and one to both bypass valves.
Removing 39lbs. FRPP injectors for stock ones. Use air tool to clean off dust and crap before pulling out injectors.
Tough sonnaobiotch, but with an AC lock compressor tool, this sucker pulls right off.
Remember, push tool towards the cap (together with the line) to disengage the dozens of metal springs inside, then pull out on the line.
Used plenty of rags under area, it will shoot out fuel.
Inspect and clean off stock fuel injectors.
Look at all that room! Coolant canister moved to the right upper half of the valve cover.
More pics once my computer stops acting up..

as you know, i've read through the install roughly and honestly 50-75 times and truely thought I could install this, then I have seen you take this on and off several times, and I highly doubt that I could...I'm the type that really has no patience, so I'm not sure I could do this? Maybe I should just 'waste' money and get the frpp non IC'd sc...400-ish, but I could most likely install it...
