Sounds like a interesting build
Do you have to do any internal engine or tranny mods to handle the SC added power?

From what I've heard it isn't neccasery, since it uses a low boost pressure and the UCF10/11 engine is very strong

you only need to do internal mods if you go over 10 lbs of boost. this supercharger/pulley combo runs at 6-7 max.

here are a couple pics of it all back together with all the covers on. pics are taken with my phone, so the quality isn't the greatest. Gonna charge up the digital camera and take a bunch of pics this week. stay tuned.

it's running good but i had a hiccup on Sunday night. the plug i put in the coolant nipple by the termostat blew and leaked coolant everwhere. i decided just to run a coolant hose from there to the port on the rear crossover pipe. sort of the way it was when it was stock, but now its not running through the idle valve or the throttle body.
