All you hear on mine is the supercharger whine with my stock exhaust lol. That one video with the tire chirp sounds exzactly like mine out of a dig. Ill have to get some videos up on mine soon. Btw that snout did seal up and chatter went away so ill have to keep an eye on it. weird 
All I can say about a stock s/c with a supercharger is it feels like it should have been like this from factory. Leaves you craving more boost though....

on the coilovers, I love them! They are so much better than my Tein HA's!
It takes longer to get the wheel off than it does to adjust them. When I went really low with my Teins the cars ride got really soft and the body would roll in corners. The JIC's allow mw to set low or high without sacrificing my ride. They can be set firm >>>>>>>>>>> soft without changing the height. They also are quiet< cant say that about my teins.
They are the best coilovers I have ever ridden on.
Yep, I like them!

No EGR
No Hydraulic fan
No bypass valve
No auto transmision
Once my stand alone gets here I will disable that light.
Track is un plug because it keeps trying to take control back. I will also be eliminating that.

Scott the car looks great. Hows the clutch. I heard you talk about it a little in one of the videos, and I could hear the rattle noise. (I have a 7.5 Quarter Master on a Corolla.)
Is it easy to drive? On the corolla it's not. To grabby, but on a heaver car it seems to be ok.
What did you think?
What type of trans fluid did you end up going with?

The clutch is a little tough to drive but once you are used to it its not bad. What clutch are you running?
It tends to chatter if you dont ease it out right. I guess the clutch noise is not a big deal to me, The transmission noise due to having no dual mass flywheel sucks. Overal, I like the thought of having a clutch that will let me launch hard. I am fixing to check it out. I just bought some CCW Drag wheels w/ET street slicks
They are just for the track, it will be interesting to see how the car looks on 16" wheels with MT slicks and skinny fronts!
I used Royal Purple sycromax in the transmision.

I'm using the same Quarter Master dual disc clutch. Chris and I went to Quarter Master to get the first one made, which I got. Like I said earlier I have a Corolla with a smaller dual disc QM clutch, and a good part of that noise is the clutch, and not the trans, but some of that rattle I've never heard, so I'm assuming that's the getrag. The clutch on the corolla is great for performance, but it's jerky on a light car. On the Corvette with the same 8.5 we have it wasn't that bad at all. I'm glad to hear you think it's not that bad. :-)
A local SC300 with a getrag, Supra manual diff, and slicks ran a 1.37 60ft. my previous with a 2300rpm stall torque converter, and auto supra LSD ran a 2.3 60ft.
I hope you get some good numbers. I wish ya luck!!
