Do not beat on it yet. Get it on a dyno and dial in the combo. This is coming from experience. You don't want to be changing head gaskets a few days later like me.

Looks good!!! Do what Vib said and get her dynoed. Tuning with a dyno after a blower install is just as important as installing the right fuel pump and injectors.

did that msd timing retard controller come with a new connector/harness for your coil harness or did you have to wire that into the stock coil harness yourself? im trying to figure it out cause mine was used and its all chopped to hell, also does anyone know iof any reason i cant just put the IAC into the plastic intake ductwork that is part of the supercharger? the supercharger? i didnt have that pipe that goes into the inner fenderwell so i used drying tubing and i cant put the IAC into that? if you could get a close up pic of your coil and the wires in there it would help me out more that you would believe

it looks good . ..save up for a power pipe and you shold see 10 lbs with that combo and drive it a while then re-tighten the belt it will streach and you won't make as much boost.

It comes with a harness from Vortech. I dont really think there is anyway to wire it up without the harness, youd have to do some pretty crative wiring work and I dont think it would be worth it. I just drilled a hole in the intake elbow for the IAC, if you look in the pic you can see it sticking out there. If you want that pic anyway, let me know.

True...I got mine used WITH a power pipe, and I NEVER have had any problems seeing 10# with the stock pulley.

also, the UPR boosmaster pipe costs less than 1/2 the power pipe if you don't care too much about a black pipe.

a power pipe would replace all tubing between the filter and the head unit....

Looks good.

That stock Vortech inlet is a joke. You should ditch that ASAP.

Affirmative and it sucks cutting into the fender.
Just cut the whole mofo out b/c you're going to need room for a T-76 soon.

I just found out today. The Anderson pipe IS a better choice.

The UPR wasn't a good choice for my application, and probably not for our cars. The fender would have had to been cut waaay too much and too close to the strut tower. UPR uses the same pipe that fits the fox bodies for the sn95's.
