How much did your SC cost, and how long did it take to install?
FYI if anyone wants to take their car out on the track I'm going to Willow Springs (Southern CA) 11/17, it's supposed to be a well controlled group and you can run beginner which has fewer cars.

I too haven't came across a supercharged 4GS, although I'm just browsing topics in this section of the forum mainly.
