HPS Supercharger Install Status
Worked most of the weekend installing the charger. I have taken my time do this and in no hurry.
When running, you can not even hear the blower. I will test some more later in the week.
One thing is that a couple of vacuum lines need to be moved to the front of the blower. This is not in the instructions and is a later add-in.
I have the water to air setup and will play with it this weekend. I expect 1.7-2psi drop in pressure.
With gas prices so high, I think I will take it easy.

Supercharger
We are all well aware of this person. We all prefer not to bring him up on this board.
The unit is very professional and well made. Its a very complete kit with a good install guide. Of course all manuals could use a little work. If you know cars, it is a breeze to install.
I have found a air-to-water setup that will look great.
Someone needs to tell all the other companies that $15k for a SC is crazy. The new pricing at HPS is on target for the volume.
I will get some pics out later.

how much is the hps supercharger for the 430?? I also agree that 11k is way too much for a supercharger especially when they were selling for 15 before. The profit margin must be crazy... Alot of the dudes on the board are in evosport and kleemans back pocket so they always try to bring up that old hps thread...
