That is a fine machine you have there.

I wonder which kit performs the best... Tom's, Blitz's, SRT's or LMS's?
Also, which one is the most reliable?

Gaps are REALLY off on the bumper. Passenger side grille needs to be modified to allow for the piping. Drivers side was modified but the whole bumper shifts to the right. the intercooler piping will be moved back next week with a new bracket. It may take a while, but I'll post photos when I have the Toms bumper on.

Hameed, thanks for the photos. Now I realize how badly the car needs to be lowered. Those wheel gaps look HUGE!
I have put a few hundred miles on the car since I got it back from SRT. The check engine light, VSC and VSC OFF lights were on at first but went off after about 100 miles. It hasnt been on since. Have been sitting in it in city traffic and on the Capital Beltway without any problems with overheating or stalling. Biggest gripe would be how much gas the new injectors suck down....

SC430blue,
The supercharger looks clean and simple. W/ the nos, I know this should put out some good numbers

well, since the car will be mine soon (baby is growing fast, and wife no longer have easy access in and out of the car) and F430 is leaving me because I am welcoming a new addition to the family. Who knows my next "Stage" is on SC.....

Glad to see everything up and running Weny! Looks great, especially the wheel and bbk combo, those rotoras are very nice! How fast does the car feel? Can the tranny handle the power?

U need a little more drop, but other than that its all great!

I can see that the intake is kind of in a weird position facing the back of the engine? Is this going to be changed? I remember you saying something before but...

Keep it up!

Steve

Bracket is still a prototype. Supercharger will be moved up and towards the center allowing intake piping to be run behind the bumper. I had the bumper refit yesterday, everything looks fine now in regards to the gaps, now I got to figure out what to do about the gaping hole lol....

SC430blue, is that a Procharger S/C? How much boost are you running?

Yeah, its a C2 unit. Supposed to be running 9 lbs boost but the pulley they gave us only runs 3. We will be receiving different size pulleys and dyno testing when they come in. I'll post figures after that.

W/ 9 lbs. I'm guessing you'll be around 325-245rwhp before NOS. Is that what your shooting for?

rwhp was increased to 286 with 3 lbs. I was told that was good. We'll see what 9 lbs holds. I biting at the bit now, waiting for Procharger to send those pulleys. I put a Cryo2 chill ring on the intercooler this weekend. Seems to up the hp some, but havent dynoed that.

SC430blue what are you using to manage the fuel? stock ecu ? SRT's custom ecu?
I know room is tight to fit things but, it seems like if they put that air cleaner somewhere else it would cut down on the air temp. some. Well the intercooler would have work a little less to cool the intake temp.
