Ok guys now I need your help! I talked to this guy from AutoTech(on the phone tho) and he told me that he would need to take a look of S/C and see what has to be done.I told him it's a brand new still in a box anyways he said he will have to see it, and that is OK. He also said it might be neccessary to drill a hole and maybe do some other things. I understood that but I don't really know if it will have to be hole drilled or something else whatever. Can somebody tell me what is neccessary to be done so the sc can be installed, what are themain issues? Again I have a V6 01! Thanks!
Do the install yourself.

BEWARE OF THIS SELLER. He will sell you junk and call you an idiot for falling for it. Know what you are buying! Admin

Trust me, if I knew anything about supercharger installs I would help. I've never attempted it though. One day I hope to be attempting an M112. Good luck!

I reccomend doing (or trying to do) everything yourself.

make sure you schedule dyno time for tuning the following day if you plan to install it yourself.

You have to tap the oil pan for the feed line.

Aha yes, you have to buy prochargers oil, some people forget to change it ever xxxx amount of miles, and you've gota love prochargers bearings failing all day long. Not to mention even with an intercooler and more timing (lower intake temps) they only seem to make 10-20more rwhp than the vortech setups.... I change my engine oil ever 2800 miles and I'm done, don't have to change the oil from my s/c also..... you were saying?
