Has anyone installed a Gen 1 HPS supercharger system?
I'm going to buy a 1st generation HPS supercharger system and I want to do the install my self. The system looks very simple. No, water lines, oil lines or intercooler. Has anyone installed one them selves or had their local mechanic install one. How long did it take and is it as easy as I'm guessing?
Thanks.

Had a custom made one that has a FMIC ,,. a lot harder to install!!!!
but every thing is bolt on...
The main cocerns for these bolt on are not enough fuel.!!!! Me and couple other fellow members here are still trying to get more fuel to the engine.
