Well I'm sure the ones that don't fail after 3k miles are great. But from what I've read on Vortex, the V9 is pretty bad.

So ya, I think I've decided on a supercharger... Going to start ordering parts within the week hopefully, so I can finish it before YNP.

Hey, can you measure the diameter of a vr6 crank pully for me? I know you have some lying around.. I just need the diameter of the area the belt would touch.

lol fail... Looks like I have to go standalone for this (lugtronics), as there is no software for what I want.

Youll be happier with standalone, if something has to change, you can, no reprogramming from c2 etc. PICS! you start tear down yet?

Sick, watchin' this thread Spence. Lets get some pictures up.
