New MP-62 Supercharger
Well Folks, I broke down and bought a supercharger of my own.
It's an MP-62 and mounted on the "cold air" side of the engine compartment. In fact it bolts up to the head and replaces the stock intake manifold.
This kit is from "FAST FORWARD SUPERCHARGERS" and I think it is very comprehensive and complete. Everything you might need including the two extra fuel injectors and a 3/8" ratchet with a retracting and extending handle is included. Why do you need that ratchet? Try to tighten a couple of bolts without it!
I have had my supercharger installed for just over a month or in this case about 2,000 miles. Any problems? Only one, on cold start up it tends to stall out if you don't feather the throttle a little. That is just an issue of getting the "power cards" set correctly for more enrichment on start. I haven't been bothered enough by it to even fool with that yet.
Do I love it? YES!! I feel it does all I hoped and more. No lag from low RPM, no need to downshift nearly as often, and a 55 or 60 to 80 acceleration that will shock you.
Gas mileage? Mileage seems about the same so far as long as I can resist pushing the throttle down enough to make the supercharger sing. for normal driving, other than the cold start issue, you'd swear it was still totally stock.
