Hows it treating you?? I had my eye on those for a long long time... should have went with one quite honestly. Not a popular choice, but the ones that have them love and rave about them..


Ran a Vortech v3 non-intercooled @8 psi for about two weeks, should be going back on at the end of the month once I get my new motor in there sometime next week.

I've had great luck with mine and been very happy with the sound and performance. Running it at 10 psi is about as far as I'll ever take it, but I have stock exhaust and no other engine mods, so I bet I can squeak out more hp with some other upgrades.

Just last weekend I replaced my belt. I don't have a boost gauge in the car, but while I was on the dyno I only made 9 psi - new belt brought it back up to 10 psi. I've heard it's worth replacing the belt once a year with this s/c and "high" boost.

good to hear! any vids? this kit is so unique and has caught my eye ever since I first heard about it.. I originally was going to get this kit, though because of the payment option with brenspeed and the vortech v3, I went ahead and got it instead.. should have went with the magnacharger...

)-;

how much power are you making with 10 psi?? 465is whp??

I find it's better to replace the belts better you end up on the side of the road

if you want some "free" HP check out the meziere water pump. basically you're just freeing up power that the engine is already making so it's a nice safe mod.
