    I bought the supercharger setup off that guy before he sold his car, I was going to BP swap the 4wd and then supercharge that, but then I bought my new EGT, and long story short, now it's going to get the supercharger setup. I have also purchased one of Lex's PNP megasquirt systems, it should be here in the next week or so...

    The Dude I bought it off of was running a boost-a-pump, and If I remember correctly, i think he said he ran a 14.9 on street tires @4800feet.

    I am sure I can get way more power out of the setup with megasquirt. I am also going to build a 10.0:1 shortblock, do some porting of the top end, and will be running E85 to control detonation. So, i should have pretty decent Power and Torque, and with some decent tires I am hoping to run mid to high 13's. I am also running at 5800feet so, we'll see. (Stock STIs run a 13.7-13.9 up here with a decent driver)

    GT40- if you have any questions or want any pics, let me know.



    Also I love the sound of a built N/A V6 (or V8, but who doesn't) the most I think... But turbo sounds are addicting, and Supercharger whine is a beautiful thing.

        Haha, no, :p but if I end up building a lower intake manifold with an air to water intercooler like I plan, I may be interested in selling you the adapter box and lower intake mani. I would also sell the FMU, and possibly the injectors, and could make a template of the tensioner pulley setup. That would leave you needing an Eaton M62, a belt, which I have the part # for, and building a tensioner setup.

            Yeah, but I am not sure what else it came on... It may be similar to the SuperCoupe bird-turd, and I think i've heard it came on some Nissan or Toyota SUV also. Mine is from a Pontiac I believe.
