The hardware costs are similar between a stage 2 supercharger and stage 2 twin turbo, but you pay less down the road in labor costs.

Next on the agenda: Methanol and little more timing up top.

Very nice build! congrats on the numbers. So we can say your cost for this whole set up and intall is somewhere around 12k ?

It feels great... like I said in the review it's very easy to drive. Methanol kit goes on in two weeks, then back on the Dyno for some extra ponies.

does it through you back in the seat like a turbo or does it just build gradually , I have owned a turbo car and been in a gt500 supercharged but it didn't wow me. Just trying to get a good feel before i drop some serious loot.

I'll have to look it up. I got the parts directly through GTM. I believe they might be one step colder, but don't quote me on that.

Thanks, it's quite the sleeper.

It builds gradually, but I'm able to maintain traction through second gear. It builds boost not only based upon the RPM, but also by which gear you're in. 2nd gear reaches 8.5psi, 3rd 9.5psi, 4th about 11psi where it taps out. The longer the gear, the more time the charger has to build boost.

It throws you back, but it's not overwhelming. I figured I was going to get sh*t for gas mileage, but it's actually in the mid 20s on the highway and about 14-15mpg cruising the city at slight load.

Methanol in two weeks, can't wait!
