If you bought a kit, it should include instructions and any mods that are needed. If you just bought a supercharger and expect to make it work without previous experience, God bless you. The car is computer controlled and the PCM has to be tuned for supercharger use, which includes spark timing and fuel delivery. Depending on how much power you want to make, the engine internals will have to be beefed up, compression dropped, cam changed, etc..

You should even be able to run with a viper on that set up.[sm=joke.gif]Any way as long as you only plan to run low boost your bottom end will be ok. Tuning is a must if you want to keep the car safe and at the peak of its game. Should be a good set up if you put the time and money into it. Should be a good match for GT's and even the LT1.
