The drive-by video was without a doubt one of the most awesome things I have EVER seen... I am awestruck and now plan on getting an F.A.T. ytm supercharger for my car within a few years....
Did that car have any significant mods besides the supercharger?
Im still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor. Whats all the comlaining about for the "no aftermarket performance parts for SC3/4s? There it is, right there! The aussies developed it for us, all we gotta do is order it, for about the price of a used and abused civic you can have a supercharged V8.

All excited for nothing? What do you mean? because it turned out to be an SC300 instead of an SC400? Let me tell you, seeing some form of forced induction on the V8 is much more interesting, since the 300 guys have been having all the fun for years.

Yes... it is.
There are two i can find right off the bat.
http://www.forcedairtech.com.au
They offer two supercharger kits, one more powerful than the other, and priced at about 2500-3500 USD.
http://www.lextreme.com/sc.htm
This kit is readily available for the LS400, and soon for the SC400. The only difference between the two kits will probably be relocating DIFFERENT accesories to the trunk.
And there it is... I don't understand why everyone thinks there will never be a supercharger available, because they already are. Yes, I can agree a turbo would be better, but you'd have to lose power steering for a single and both P/S and AC for a twin. Do you really need that much more than the estimated 450-500 hp a supercharger can already provide?

Well, first off, I'm a college student. That alone should tell you something about me (absolutely no time whatsoever for anything)
Secondly, I am unemployed. Taking 20 credits a semester would dictate time restrictions, and even if I did work, it would be one day a week and thus lose out on the once or twice a week I get to see my g/f.
And thirdly, Im still not quite sure of whether or not to do it. I take great pride in driving a completely stock car, albeit the ecu upgrade which I activate once in a great while. 250 (280 w/ ecu) is enough horsepower for me, for now. This is a project I plan to undertake in about 2 years when I have my degree, a good paying job, and some time to spend on myself as well as others.
Ok, but I see your getting at "The kit will not be available if I try to order it." You may be right, but I doubt if you called them up and offered them the amount in cash, right on the spot, you'd see every part you needed at your door within a week or two.
