Thinking of doing a supercharger.....

Thoughts? Has anyone heard them from the 3rd person perspective? I am trying to figure out how loud they are to other cars on the road (i.e., police) and whether the whine is too much to handle in and outside the cabin.

No need to think twice Matt, DO IT!!
I heard it on Josh's car (C63Guy) and it sounds BRUTAL!
The SC whine is unmistakable and just sounds sick.

Hello Pertplus,

Although we are not exactly 3rd person perspective, we would be happy to show you a couple cars we have here so you can get a good idea of how loud (or quiet) the car is when the hood is shut. Let us know!

Definitely! ACG is the Shop I use and I was quasi-introduced to your products when installation was going on on Jim's car. Let me know when I can roll up or if you wanted to send me videos. PM me for my info.

no way in hell i could ever park it and never use it after getting all this stuff done

the car gets picked up next week so i should have it back in about 2 weeks from today . there will definately be videos and results from me . unfortunately , i don't have a good track anywhere close , so 1/4 mile is out of the question for now but one of the guys got a v-box so there will be some data when we get together

So I guess your car is NOT going to be in a barn covered and sealed into a double vacuum sealed bag.
