Personally I want to have my cake and eat it too, so to speak. I want the higher efficiency of the larger supercharger, but not the overly high boost levels. E85 is essentially unavailable in CT for whatever reason, but 93 is everywhere.

I wish there was a way to spin this blower a little slower, but baring that the cosworth or edelbrock (if it materializes) kits might be better options.
