After further review, this charger seems weaker than the Rotrex Kraftwerks\Jackson and Vortech offers. Just another centrifugal option out there, but if you're looking for power, Vortech and Rotrex systems are where its at. Vortech can spin the fastest, but Rotrex has the C30 and C38 blowers depending on how much power you're aiming for. C38 blower can achieve 14-15 PSI. I'm getting the C30 which maxes at about 330-340 whp on e85 with a smaller pulley which spins it at max RPM. I'm not that crazy... lol. The C38 can go 400+ whp. I think optimally, you will see the HKS supercharger in the 250-260 whp range realistically. Same price range and power range as the Innovate without the huge low end torque of a twin screw. |

Mainly road noise, but lower drag = better mpg... which will be offset by drag by wider tires. It creates more of a true flat floor under the car. its like 200 bucks.

looks good! i'm guessing you had someone else do the hood/trunk install? did they mention anything about the drilling/dremel holes for the trunk?
