I had the supercharger installed at GS Motorsports and wanted to show a few photos. My impressions so far: awesome..... I will tell you that my car is not quite yet complete the way it will be in a few weeks. I had to pick up my car and get it back to Arizona as it has to go into paint Monday. The original test mule Magnum was an early model. When some of the parts fabracated for that car were tried on mine they didn't fit. As the second car out of the shop those things happen. First rule with any major mod - it always takes longer than you think, and if you want instant gratification - don't be the first one. The car will be totally finished in a few weeks after paint, I'll drive it over to California and we will get it totally finished. First of all the thing is a rocket. This from a guy that campained a 69 Vette 427 on the strip for a number of years. I know fast. Complete dyno figures when I get back to CA. I drove it back from LA to Phoenix, 375 miles of 100+ degrees temp after I got to Palm Springs (varied from 106 - 100 the whole way.) With the A/C on full, never any trouble, never overheated, and averaged 21 MPG at 80-85 the whole way. Very seamless operation, not a lot of blower whine, perfect. All parts are very high quality and the guys at GS Motorsports are great.

The blue hose (ugly) and the aftercooler will be changed out next trip.

I guess my membership dues must be in arrears as I cannot view these photos. I'll re-boot this machine and try again!

Of course as soon as I posted that they came up!

Any chance of getting a first hand report of how it was to drive compared to before the mod? Do you have to break it in before you can give it the boot? SOTP report or anything would be nice.
Thanks for jumping on the sword too and congrats!

what about your air filter? is it still in the same place?

[22 years old, '05 silver magnum r/t]

 

No it isn't everything is moved - the air filter is now located lower - and goes into the area behind the grill, next to the headlight on the driver's side. The new plumbing for the S/C and the after cooler takes up all the room in the area where the air box was.

 

I am waiting for an upgrade to the air filter because of my headers and exhast it wants more air - so I am breaking it in a little easier, at 1/2 throttle, it is faster than stock at WOT, and I can break the tires loose at about 1/4 throttle. The around town and highway driving is the same as stock, you don't even notice it -- until you hit the gas. Very seemless. I will post all dyno results in a few weeks, so far I'm thrilled - the effect when the hood is up and some one sees the blower is just too cool.

 

Color me: Green with envy.

Way cool.
