Very nice set up. Can't wait to hear about your et's. Please keep
us posted.

BTW, just curious, what accessories did the kit come with. I'd assume
the MSD ignition system came with it as well. Also, do you have to run larger fuel
injectors and a stronger fuel pump?

are those parts replaceable? Like with other brands?

for example HKS BOV instead of Vortech, APEXi ITC instead of MSD, etc.?

one question about the setup.
why did not use steel pipin(like for intercooler piping) from the SC to the throttle body instead of rubber hosing?
you would think you would get more a tiny bit more power and look much nicer if they had polished tubing..

If I drive around and dont get on it, my gas mileage seems to be about the same. If you drive your car like you stole it you will be spending more on gas.

It is steel tubing with a black wrinkle powder coat and it connects with a silicon coupling.

Hey thanks for the reply. I am guessing the A51 superchareger is mechanically reliable, and "worry-free" maintanence. Being a supercharger i assume u have power all the way thru the rpm range, must notice quite a bit of pick up!!!!!!! I like the set up, clean, did A51 do the install?
