Thanks guys, it is proving to be a lot of fun. The whine from the blower is addictive...I'm having a hard time keeping my foot out of it. I helped a guy install one of these kits this weekend on his '07 V6...great kit, and easy install. Dave and Patty at Explorer Express are nice peeps. The intercooler upgrade is available now, and may be my project for next winter. There is also a version in the works that uses a TVS blower. That one should be available soon.

What did you do for a tune? Do you have any dyno numbers?. Looks great.

Thanks.
I got my tunes from Doug at bamachips around the end of January. Now that he's with AM, I have to go through Explorer Express for tunes, or have it dyno tuned. I haven't had it on a dyno yet, but I would like to have it tuned soon. I don't expect it to produce as much H.P. as a centri, but it should have a nice, fat torque curve. It's a hoot to drive.

The car has about 40,000 kms on it. It's not hard to keep clean when you have a beater to drive in bad weather. I'm a bit of a detail freak.

Update

I had the car in for some tuning yesterday, and the results were 301.24 HP and 314.06 torque. I think I could have made a little more, but the single exhaust is choking it a bit. Next project?...Free up the exhaust, add an intercooler, and a smaller pulley.

Congrats on your blower install.

The numbers you mention above, are they at the wheels or the crank?

Thanks. The numbers were better than I expected, but it was done on a cool day, with low humidity, and 94 octane pump gas.
