and gidyup you turn on the headlights to get rid of any stray current?



Yes, I was told that some current may remain in the system and if there is a draw such as lights, it totally drains it.

Maybe your used to the power. I got used to my car and I really though it had power loss. I even took it to the dealer to find out my car ran strong. My car feels real slow with the supercharger but i know its because im used to it.
