Supercharger anyone?
Ok if some of you guys remember right before the site went "down" the main topic in our V6 board was superchargers for our cars I believe. I emailed a site a LONG time ago and asked him if he made a supercharge for the RSs. And they said that there was a supercharger in the works...So I dont know if there is one or not. But as far as I have heard I havent seen one. So I was wondering if any of you guys know something I dont. Like maybe THERE IS ONE!?

Yeah Grame's, how well did it work?? I noticed that your signiature says the car is sold...I'm as curious as anyone to see how well it works.
Did you buy the RS with the TPI already swapped onto it, or did you do it yourself?

Hey Graeme, I think enough people are interested, and your email isn't available, so please fill us in on the details here... My biggest personal curiosity is the fuel delivery. New pump, injectors, MAF, what? Or did they just slap the Vortech on there and it took off?

Vortech Blower, Vortech Fuel Management, New Fuel Pump and braided lines, all new intake, Maf recalibrated, thats it...more/less straight forward he said..it only took 2 days for him to do, 3k for MOST...the thing that cost more was the powdercoating and fuel management

Did he do anything to beef up the cylinders or crank? Also, what boost were you running, esp if it was on stock cylinders? I'd like to leave the bottom end alone on the 3.4, but if I could get a s/c running on it and a 50 hp shot of nitrous without rebuilding the bottom, that would be perfect. I'm planning on using a powerdyne SC. Was there a retard system, or just a permanent set degree of retard? So many questions...
