going FI soon
well like the title says i may be going FI soon, im getting the comptech supercharger with aftercooler...
the reason i posted this is im going to do the install myself and i was seeing if anyone that has done the install or just wanted to hang out was intrested in there that has done it...dont know if i need it but i will be at my buddies shop and he has a lift.
i will probably order the supercharger sometime after tax time hopefully if i get a good amount back, but im already getting excited and its going to be a couple of months till i get it
so let me know whats up guys and ill keep you all informed

I would recommend that you put in a better clutch first since when you smoke it with the charger you will need to remove the charger to the clutch. If you drive the car hard as I do, you will finish the clutch in about a weak. If you do easy shifting you might be ok for a while.

i went 30K on my stock clutch with a blower....many track days too.
recently jeff/joe swapped it out for the hardtopguy clutch package.

Sam has a stock clutch also with 300hp.
I'm interested in seeing if there is a difference in performance once the OEM clutch gives out and is replaced.

I thiink SAmmy did it right. Why throw more money into the thing when you have a part that works? Just run the stoack ckutch out...then get a new one. I do not get these guys who replace the clutch when they SC.

According to Jeff G;the last time we spoke he recommended a clutch upgrade as part of the supercharger install because of the need to remove the the SC when the clutch finally needed it.
I think this is more a labor charge thing than a requirement issue. However mileage and prior clutch maintance should be taken into consideration.
....at least this is my understanding
