So I'm now debating over getting rid of my rcf because of the need for more power but may consider keeping it if we have a forced induction option. Any new release dates on the supercharger system?

The ECU has been completely rescaled which was a big effort, as its nothing like the ISF. That said, car is running really well but obviously we have some fine tuning and testing to do before we announce the final specs.

Of course, the hood closes. The filter is a bit tight, but the production filter will actually be different for more clearance.

now that it’s been a while, how’s the reliability? an owner in texas told me she is on her 2nd supercharger and it’s currently being rebuilt after 8k. first one went out at 20k. she said fbo is perfectly reliable but s/c makes it a nightmare.

She may not have mentioned that her SC after approx 2 years and 20,000 miles because her SC oil line was leaking (I have the photo of that). Once the SC unit runs low on oil it is very likely to fail.

Yep. Supercharger requires its own oil. Maintenance item. Can’t just bolt it on and forget about it.

In that case there was a leak in the oil line, approx 2 years after initial install. Bottom line is I always tell people that you need to be very aware of potential issues, especially when you heavily modify a car. So one way to avoid something like this is to routinely examine your garage parking spot for leaks, before they become critical.

I had a supercharged customer once say he smelled fuel, and also had a CEL for failed primary o2 sensor…. At a track day. He didn’t want to call it a day and tracked anyway, eventually he had an engine fire and a huge repair bill. When you modify it’s critical to have basic knowledge and respect for what you are doing.
