Does anyone have this supercharger? If so any bad things I need to know about and is that a pretty good deal?

I know I'll need somekind of tune but are you suggesting just a good dyno tune with my predator or what?

you need to be at a dyno shop and have it tuned there.

Ok that's what I was thinking, say if I put the blower on or had a friend do it would it be alright to drive it to a dyno shop or should I see if the shop wants to put it on for me?
Sorry to sound stupid asking all these questions I just don't want to screw my car up.

If you get a decent base tune you can. I drove to the shop with my tune, but it was dead on (didn't know that, went to test it) .

I didn't have any problems, but I never took it over 3000 RPMs and I never went more than 1/2 throttle till I was on the dyno.

Aight cool man, thanks a ton for all of your guys help, I'm sure I'll be asking more about it towards the end of the summer when I'll hopefully have enough money saved up.

I sure hope it's good, I just put my deposit down on one.

For what it costs, I just agreed to the $1,000 install/tune charge (10 hours labor for the install, $200 for dyno tune), not to mention all the perks that go with spending that kind of money at a shop.
