Default What's Your Opinion

My car is stock with headers and a few bolt-ons. I want more power and am thinking about the D1SC but don't race. How is a supercharger for a street driven vehicle? Will I love it or regret it?

I've had mine for two weeks, 300 miles. So far I love it - it sounds awesome, it kicks *** at high revs, and I can still drive it to work just like normal. For some pics and other stuff, check it out at >>

Go for it!!

Thanks for the feedback LS1Bird! Any other opinions? I've been reading here alot over the past few months and have a question about overheating. Are most people with the D1SC running the ATI fan setup? Has anyone moved the radiator forward to retain the stock fans and have any related install info? What is the most effective cure for oil in the intake area? Does the air pump/cruise install bracket with the shims for the T/A get the air pump clear of the drivers parking light? Should I start out with the steel idler pulley?
