You wouldnt happen to have the CAD files that you could sell or distribute, would you? That's a really nice placement.

If you have solidworks files of stuff, I have access to a 7'x15' laser cutter

Were you custom tuned or on CARB? Just curious how a CARB tuned car would do on 93 (I'm in CA but I have a gas station with 93 about 30 mins away and have been thinking of getting some)

Currently on the tune that came in the kit. Im making 235whp right now with all stock bolt ons. I want to do a custom tune, but I'm going to do bolts ons with it to give it somemore horsepower.


Here's a video of my car [ame]http://youtu.be/LJlDADE7mWU[/ame]

What dyno were you using? Is that the stock CARB tune?

Are you just slowly building up the car, like the headers and a front pipe? I'm asking all these questions because I'm assuming aside from the SC you're stock lol oh man those numbers broke my heart.

It didn't. We had some problems with my ECU due to a fluke accident. Nothing to do with the kit or installation. Bottom line is we're waiting for a new ECU. Hopefully it will be here Tuesday.

I think everyone who went on the Edelbrock tour last year is getting a supercharger except for me. I need to get a new job LOL...

What kinda fluke accident? Any tips on what to watch out for would be appreciated

Well when you do, we'll get you all set up!

For those who have the kit, and didn't notice like me, there's a reference port that is plugged from the factory should you choose to install a boost gauge. Check it out!

Ya, don't mess with anything in the car while your down loading the new map. I plugged my cell phone in to charge while Mike was down loading the new map. The sudden voltage drop was just enough to dump the connection between the computer and car and damaged the ECU.

Is the MAF/MAP loom good? I've seen that before create some weird issues on a Sprintex car here. Might be worth checking logs for MAF voltage or MAP voltage.

Are you sure it was damaged? ECUtek can normally recover this kind of situation.

I read in another thread ECUTek was able to recover their ECU after something similar happened... might save the cost of a new ECU?
