No one has said anything - and maybe I am missing something - but how is the supercharger driven on the back side of the engine? I just noticed that in the pics and wondered? And the install along with the exhaust looks absolutely top notch! I had to laugh when I saw the yellow inspection sticker in the middle of the windshield as I flew up to Winchester, Virginia to pick up my brand-new 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP in May of 2006 and I had a yellow inspection sticker right there as well. Seemed odd and looked really out of place here in Texas - Ha! That G8 wasn't bought at Kern Motor Company was it? Also, it looks like once all adjustments have been made, etc. - the engine cover should be able to be made to fit which would really make it stealthy! Congrats on a sweet install and plan on making a similar package available for the 2009 G8 GXP as that is what I am aiming for!

see the pointy thing on the front of the SC(the part that faces the front on the car) it has a grooved pulley on it...that is the jack shaft that turns the pulley on the back of the blower....that way the install is very clean, the shaft runs under the SC instead of beside it like most of us are used to...and you can have the SC actually face the right way and run almost undetected from the regular serpentine system

I would like to see that engine cover hide the supercharger now. Does it fit back over it?

Not even 300 baseline? That disappointing. I thought they'd have a bit more.

Agreed, with a 361hp flywheel rating and GM's track record of chassis dyno numbers vs flywheel...

Shawn, since you have personal experience with these cars, do you know the reason for the low numbers?

.75 * 361 = 270rhwp, did you guys (hopefully) make better numbers than that?
