I'm wonder based on cfm flow of this engine will the super charger speed be helped with a efficient exhaust and header system. Seems like the better the engine breathes the lower the boost that's needed to make X power. Do we know the HP potential of this kit?

Thats the beauty of a SC , maximize the flow exhaust, cat , muffler will net higher figures. Also you will experience lower IAT's because of the flow ( and cooling effect )as there is less residing time in the camber because of less restriction. Unlike a turbo |

I'm thinking a borla Header and a crossover pipe will make this thing a complete beast. I'll have to check with Visconti first and make sure there's enough fuel left on the stage 1 for that though. In the end I'll have it because I plan on going E85 and flex fuel. Forced induction just loves E85 and make the motor less likely to detonate. Gregg |

Sorry guys. It appears I am not able to check in nearly often enough to keep up.

Working on that for you. I'll post it as soon as I have it. Quote:

Keep in mind that we are currently only shipping Tuner Kits, and we have a few more cars lined up over the next few weeks to verify our current calibration on before we release it. All of the calibrations on our complete supercharging systems are always verified many times over on different vehicles before we release them to the public. That is why our reputation for safe, reliable complete systems is universal throughout the automotive aftermarket. However, once the complete systems are released, we will immediately submit the system for CARB approval. The downside with the Air Resources Board, is that even after passing all the testing procedures, getting the processed paperwork for the E.O. after the fact takes an ever increasing amount of time. Our 2011+ Mustangs systems passed in early February last year, and we did not see the E.O. paperwork back from them until late November. These systems will get there, but it just takes time. Quote:

We absolutely include a bypass valve with the system that is open at all times when you are not in positive boost pressure. |

We made that mistake in the past on our Lexus IS300 system...as soon as people found out there was no pulley swap option for boost upgrade, it killed the sales of that system. Even though the system made great power out of the box, and there were other compressors they could have upgraded to, it didn't matter. That system was instantly D.O.A. We have the extra impeller speed buffer for that reason - so people can go a little more aggressive if they want without having to swap compressors. For those enthusiasts that want even more...we have that covered too, but will require a compressor upgrade (and we have lots of options there). |

So if you are able to swap out the supercharger unit for more power, you will have to upgrade the intercooler. What are the available solutions for that?

If I buy this now, living in Cali, and it gets its carb approval do I just get the paperwork later.. Or do I have to wait for it to be approved first.. I'd like to get it now, but the fines are stupid for non approved carb parts..
