and the procharger kit is just and air to air IC, the vortech aftercooler is air to water.
What shop in Jersey is doing it? One of the top procharger tuners in the US is in Jersey, Larocca's shop...

but hopfully will get the kit for 3,000
then 2,000 for other work
as stated before the kit comes with a FMU and a FMU willnot work unless the fuel system is converted to a return system. but you can also fab a make shift return system that re route the return line form the fmu back to the rail
im sure you can but that is just even more money now. i wouldnt think it would be too smart to spend $6-7k on this project. the gains arent going to be as good as he thinks. maybe 40-50whp at most. that is a good increase in power probably about 50% but still when turbos can give that much power if not more for 1/2 the cost it doesnt make a lot of sense

isn't the power you make based off of the pulley used which in turns alters the PSI?

Good luck though!!
huh??
If you change the pulley on a centrifugal, it will change the boost. And the reason you see roots type and twin-screws in drag racing is because of their efficiency. The twin-screw superchargers are extremely efficient. They are also able to compress the air far past what a centrifugal could.
But as for only a 60% increase, that is determined by #1. the blower, #2. the pulley setting, and #3. the tuning.
Look at it this way....
a centrifugal is nothing but a turbo thats run by a belt instead of exhaust gases. If you can do it with a turbo, you can do it with a supercharger.

3,000 with IC. will take pic's to show. now
to get the FMU..lol

ok then i get the greddy emanage and the rsx injectors.
thanks for the tip
