Oh boy, things are really taking off with my supercharger fund! I got $20 in donations just yesterday! I'm saving hard too, so I might just be able to get one early next year the way it's going.
You know what's amazing to me? I finally started one of the thread topics that has four pages of responses! That's a first!

ephidaboost:
We do not have any estimated 0-60 times, unfortunetly. I am sure as the kits sell, we will hear from customers concerning track times, etc.

I am liking those dyno results. Very cheap HP compared to an engine swap.
Hey Doc, how often does one need to change the oil in the supercharger?

Procharger suggests the oil should be changed every 5-6k miles, which in my opinion even when running Mobil 1 is when you should be changing your engine oil as well (keep in mind they are 2 seperate systems). The oil change in the blower takes about 30 minutes. Simple as draining the old oil, and adding the new oil.

In December, JP-s-in st. louis was in the process of having one of these installed.

I don't think he has posted his first impressions yet.

AWW shucks you remembered little old me? My 2000 S is still at Imagine Auto having the flux capacitor installed . After all is completed I will give my full report.
FYI: Imagine Auto (or as my fiance calls them my enablers) have been a treat to work with and have kept me in the loop during the extensive fabrication process.

Would it be any problem with the emission law (like in CA)? Any reports would be helpful. I would hate to flunk the emission test (during car inspection) and have to remove it after all those work.

The car will pass emissions testing, but it will not past CARB certification in California that we are aware of.
JP's 3.2 will hopefully be running by the end of the week (That is the plan anyway, though the tuning will not be done). Headers are back, brackets are back from the CNC, throttle plenum has been fabricated, so we are ready to bolt it together this week. Hopefully it will be moving around the shop under it's own power within a few days.

Thanks for the advice. Does adding the supercharger for the 3.2 require a catalyc converter bypass?

The primary cats will no longer be present, but the 2ndary cats will stay in place. We have to remove the primary cats because they are in the way of the brackets. This is why the 3.2 and 2.7 require the custom headers.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

What's up Doc (like you never heard that before...sorry)!
For clarity, you say "fired off" ...as in fired-up/started/running...or shiped out to a customer???

Doc, can you tell us how your SC kit compares to the TPC one that's been out a while? Does yours have more boost, is it better made, runs cooler, or what?

Hi doc if its at all possible please direct customers to this forum so we can get some input on a finished car w/ the new s/c set-up. There are many of us waiting to see how the supercharger and engine hold up over time. An even better idea would be to "donate" or sponsor a 2.5L kit to Randallneighbor. Maybe some of your other vendors would join you in a joint sponsorship. This would easily increase your sales as word of mouth is very important. And good impartial information is worth its weight in gold. You could absolutely count on plenty of information and feedback on his part. I myself am very interested but just want to be sure the system operates well over the long haul. Good luck and keep us up to date on your product.
