So fellas,
I finally got my kit today. Let me tell ya, my experience with paxton has not been a positive one as of yet. First off I ordered the kit from D & D in california (the k-member company). They had a legitimate problem in there accounting department, and where very nice. So my blower order was a week behind. The order then got placed on monday the begening of this week. It was supposed to be second day aired here on wednesday. No dice, it went out ups ground. No big deal, I won't really have time to install it until this weekend right? On wednesday, I called paxton to make sure it even got shipped. I asked what address they where sending it to, and they had left the street number off, and had my name wrong. No problem, I got the tracking number and called ups and they where more then happy to straighten everything out for me, and assured me that my package would be here today. (Wasn't paxton supposed to do this?) So the big box shows up today. I've never put a supercharger on a car, so I'm totally virgin. I start going through the box, and everything seems to be there as far as I can tell. I really don't know what I'm supposed to have. So I try to find a part list, to no avail, same goes for the instructions. So I call up paxton and they give my brian and vortec's v/m. wtf? So I call my man Dave at D & D and he arranges to have the instructions and manual faxed to me at work. Well, 5:30 rolled around and I'm going home, So as of right now the instructions haven't shown up. I'm going to drop by in the morning on my way to kansas to pick up my pms and hopefully the destructions will be sitting there on the fax machine. So fastforward to about 2 hours ago. I go through the kit one more time, and I'm trying to figure out what bracket bolts this rowdy looking mofo to the motor, and all be damned they left that f-ing bracket out of the kit. I've got the two plates that hold the tensioner, but no brackt to put everything to the motor. So, This is just to let you guys know! And to vent alot of steam. I mean, I've been looking forward to this damn thing for about a month now and they leave out 2 of the 3 most important parts. the third being the head unit. There will be major hell to pay at paxton come monday morning. Actually I'll be nice and just try to get them to overnight everything to me. And maybe throw in a t-shirt and cool sticker. On the bright side of things the kit looks absolutly awsome. I really didn't know what to expect, but it's sweet. I got the real street kit for a 87-93 fox, it came with a race bypass (vortec), big discharge tube with the flange for the bypass (vortec) and a big 4'' inlet elbow with the provission for the blow off. (vortec). And for my final high light, i was expecting a 8 rib, and it shows up here with this huge 10 rib. I haven't seen that much rubber since we had a moon walk over when i was a kid. So thats my 2 cents. Let me know what you think guys.
Brandon
