I wrote a very prominent retailer / tuner about installing a Paxton system on my Boss. I was told that there is a lot of issues with idling and low rpm driving. I was informed that I should go with a PD system. I know you don't have the Boss intake.....but just curious to know how yours idles etc. I was really hoping to go centri vs. PD....as the centri would build as I exit corners on a road course....versus being "On" all the time. It would seem easier to control when carving corners.
Thanks

I feel ya, I just had a smaller pulley, bigger CAI and injectors put in and a dyno tune. After over an hour of tuning on the dyno with the temps above 90 and high humidity It only put out 555HP/476TQ. I think if you wait until the temps are in the 70's with your setup you'll touch 600 (me to - I hope LOL).

Can anyone explain why SCs in general don't do much for torque numbers? While i understand that in more temperate conditions, this car will be putting more power to the wheels, somehow, I'd hope for more than a 60-70 lbft bump from a $6000 investment. Someone please tell me why I'm off-base. 
A supercharger should cost no more than $3k tops.

The cost makes it a hard pill to swallow, but once you go WOT, you'll forget about it. Lol

6-7 years back, I bought a turbo kit for my second Miata and it cost: $6,000.
What gives?
