Good to hear. After more reading I'm trying to figure out how often you have to fill the methanol reservoir and where to get the methanol from. Does it use the methanol all the time or at a predetermined point? Maybe I should move my question to it's own thread.

That is a super clean installation. What made you choose that super charger over the other brand?

I am getting a 4 gallon tank installed in the trunk, but they also have kits to use the windshield washer tank. It only sprays methanol when are you are in boost, so unless you punch it all the time, the tank will last you. You can get it refilled at any speed shop. I am new to the methanol too, but keep asking ?? !!

It was personal taste for me. It was between the Maggie and the Edelbrock. I liked how the edelbrock looked, had decent power, and comes with a no-charge 3 year warranty. Just personal taste - They are both awesome power adders

Thanks! After I posted I found a couple articles that explained it pretty well. I like the idea of it. Not that close to any speed shops. The PNW isn't really know for it's muscle cars.

Dennis, please school me in the Roto-Fab installation. Was it just an out-of the-box installation and direct connect to the Edelbrock intake tube?

Yes sir, got the Rotofab partial kit (less the elbow) and used the Edelbrock supplied elbow, fit like a charm. I had called Rotofab and asked them before I ordered it, they had the kit but had not released it yet because they were still working on pricing. I got mine for about $300

so to further digress on this. when you purchased the partial rotofab, that will fit nicely with the supplied elbo from edelbrock? did you end up going with the wet filter or dry filter? From what others are testing with the supercharged or F/I vehicles it adds close to 30hp. and... did you end up having yours tuned accordingly or just stick with the factory edel tune? Sorry for the questions, but I'm going to be right there with you here with in a month (Maggie instead) but same principle.

oneredry - yes, it will fit just like mine. There was no modifications needed to anything - just used the edelbrock supplied elbow.

Mine will be getting a custom tune once everything gets installed - hopefully in the next couple days. Dont like the canned tunes only because of ancillary mods I have (meth, exhaust, CAI, etc.)

Looking great, Dennis! Your red decal was shipped out yesterday.

Thanks for using our CAI. You will be pleased with the quality and performance.

Furthermore, if you already have our standard CAI system, we have instructions for converting it to our supercharged partial kit. It is a simple process of re-drilling the 5 MAF housing mounting holes.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Michael
