    I've checked thei're prices already.I was wondering though.How come of all the places that sell superchargers not one sells the kenne bell supercharger.I love the idea of instant power.But i can't find it anywhere,except at their website where of course it's expensive.

    re tuner kits,

    yo;the tuner kits come less injectors,fuel pump,and reprogramed chip, as for the brackets and hardware it should all be there,as I've done lots of these kits.

    Here's the problem i'm having with tuner kits.I heard that you shouldn't run your car without a chip that's programmed for it.So how am i gonna get it programmed without putting the supercharger on first?I already have a diablo chip i could programm.An in tank 255 lph fuel pump should cost me $100 new.And 42# fuel inectors should run me around 300 bucks.But i heard you can run without a chip,i wonder how you do that.

    Jaeger, any over the counter chip is going to be a complete POS and waste of money. I did a little test way back when and did some back to back runs under the same conditions with a ADS chip and w/o (I was running non-s/c'd), well low & behold I ran 3 tenths quicker w/o the chip, put the chip back in and walla ran 3 tenths slower.

    Your best bet is to tune with a tuner or have a custom burned chip for your car.

    Buy the tuner kit, fuel components and get a dyno session or a tuner and it'll run a hell of alot better than it would with any mass produced over the counter chip handling the tune.

    re tuner kit,

    yo; send out your diablo chip for reprograming and tell them to cal it for a supercharger application tell them what injector size and mass air unit all the info you give them will help them give the best possible tune ,you should get it on the dyno with the tuners there so it can be foul proof,and no you cannot run the blower without the proper cal as the car will run too rich and foul the plugs.

    re blower

    no you cannot drive it with bigger injectors without the tune it will run to rich and foul your plugs,and yes you can get the diablo reprogramed.
