Thanks man. We gonna have to run our cars some time 
Yeah I get the idea of it. But according to the rmm instructions the ecu would learn the injectors in 30 mins more or less. Thats why they warn that it might idle rough for the first 30 mins. But after that it should be able to handle it.
But regardless I'm gonna hook up the haltech and just get it tuned.
Also good news!!!. Messed around with it some more and no more cel light. Car feels strong at slow speeds. I can easily spin my tires at pretty much anytime in 2nd gear. I havent had a chance to get over 60 yet, too much traffic here atm. But car is feeling better, only thing is I do need to let off the gas for it to shift when ever i'm at wot. Guess I'm gonna need a valve body upgrade soon.
Another weird thing is it feels more like a turbo than an sc. I can tell when the boost hits, and thats when it starts to pull hard!!
its running rich because the injectores are staying open the same amount of time as the stock ones would if you were to run boost. if you were to run the stock injectors it would be a little better.
example would be...
1/4" air line opening for 1 second (this represents your stock injectors)
3/8" air line opening for 1 second (this represents your RC injectors).
Both are spraying for 1 second as the ECU is programmed to do at a set air flow but the 3/8th is spraying way more in that 1 second time frame..
something like that. hah

1)Lol yes i did do the install in a parking garage. Worst part was there were no accessible power outlets !!!
2)Thanks I'm pumped and it sounds freakin amazing!!
3)I have a PI torque converter 2800 stall speed as well as a tranny intercooler installed. Its actually sandwiched inbetween the intercooler and the radiator. Seems to still be getting sufficient airflow though.
4) Yes the plugs I have are colder, (they were specifically purchased for use with the supercharger)
5) My haltech will be installed soon as well as a proper tune.
Oh yeah I might start a build thread as I have plenty of other parts to install.
Including my ppe headers which are sitting in my room
And I will post some proper videos once everything is running correctly. I do also have a video of how it sounds but I need to use a good camera as my videos were just shot on my blackberry. (sound sucks on blackberry)
Yes ups helped with the situation. But that was another huge hassle as well. Anyway I'm happy I have the kit now and I will get it running correctly.

I'm curious about the headers too. I don't think any of the previous owners had headers when they had this kit installed, so im hoping the headers will add a good 20-30 hp. But who knows. I also have a tanabe medallian exhaust, so I hope to get right around 400whp. I'll post dyno numbers within the next 2 weeks
And to all those saying "I hope this works", don't worry IT WILL

I will post some videos as soon as its tuned. Plus I will be at "The Pursuit" and I'm already registered to drag. So I will have videos and times. Not sure how well I will do since its and 1/8 mile strip and it will be my first time running my car at a track. But regardless I will post videos. I'm guessing since I'm sc'd I might do better on a 1/4mile track.
