It never peek higher than 5.5psi.

And yes, it could probably do better on the track but I cannot launch at more than 2000rpm and i can never floor it in 1st gear. Not enough traction. Still have to work on that, don't know if there is a solution.

Here is a later pic with everything polished and the Intake filter adapter done:

this supercharger is way more effecient opposed to the cintrificual(sp) type, +1 on making it, you should market a kit you would make a nice chunk of change of you could sell a kit but considering you custom made everything it is probably hard to make a cost effective kit.

Block Off Plate and Full SSIM was done after the picture was taken. It change the car power band completely!

Not that hard, just took a few months to fit everything. The worst parts was the belt tensioner.

The motor only had about 6000miles on it. It was replace by Nissan.

Main concern, Keep it driveable everyday (during the summer). I have a switch inside that gives me the possibility to the supercharger On or Off. In the off position, the supercharger still turn but the bypass stay's open all the time. With the bypass open, it still manage to reach .5/.75psi at full RPM.

Got any pics of the pulley area?
Also, how do your MTs hook up? Are they 17s or 18s?

I am running on 17s. (275/40-17) They do hook well.

Here is a couple of pics. There is not much place so the picture does not show much.

Soo.. Do they hook up well or not. You're not making any sense here.

When I drag race last year, I had no traction problem but when I started racing at the end of this season, I did have traction problem. I tought that this was mostly due to the modification I had made to the car.

This week I went looking to buy new/better drag tire but could not find anything. One of the store owner told me that there could be two reason for this:

1- The tire compound has degraded in the last 3 year. Seems taht drag tire have a shot life. It might be possible, one of my friends is racing his SRT4 and when he changed is tire this year (his old one were also 3 years old), he gained a lot of traction back.

2- It might me related to the local track. It seems this track always among the best one. The car is already in storage for the winter but as soon as the racing season starts again, I will go and try a better track, a 3 hour drive but at least I will know.

It might be both of these as well.
