Vegas,

I talked to Errol a couple weeks back and he was waiting for the intake manifolds. I have not bothered him in the last couple weeks...he has my email. I posted this news a couple weeks back without any replies. I pretty much summed it up some time back....very few people are willing to spend 4500, 5000, 5500 whatever on a supercharger kit. To make matters worse..the exhange rate is going through the roof and this kit is costing more and more each day. Damn, Bush is an idiot

Careful. This thread may get moved to the "Debate Forum".

I saw your post a couple weeks ago but wasn't sure on the status since then. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. I might just wait for David (Lextreme) to finish up his Vortech S/C. I won't be ready to buy for about 4 months so hopefully I'll have another option then.

Dave, have you decided what you're going to do?

As promised, the LS400 is done. Currently, I am waiting for a SC4 to work on. Most parts will fit right in from the LS4 Supercharger Kit, but some mods will be require. I have been reading lots about intercooling. Supercharged! by Corky Bell is the book. He stated that chamber temperature from a 8 psi from a none intercooled system is the same as running 40 psi from an intercooled system. Another word, intercooled system can run higher boost at the same chamber temperature.

I though that was very interesting.

I bought that book last year. Some of the parts get a little too in depth for me but it gave me a great overview of the different kinds of FI. Good read.
