To make ecomomy matters worse, I believe that if you add a SuperCharger you will then have to run Premium Unleaded!..........$$$$....

If you're tuned to run premium you'll get better mileage and offset the extra cost of the premium.

Thats very cool weazel. Have you sent your PCM off to be reflashed yet?

After I saw your post, I looked up powerworks and I noticed that they dropped the price to 3900. Thats a good deal in comparison to almost 6k ford racing wanted for the whipple last time I looked.

I'd like to see one of these trcuks with a 3.4 liter whipple and built bottom end. It would probably put freaky's 6.4 to shame in the low rpm torque department and cost 50 cents less per gallon to drive!

Since he's not online, I'll answer for him. Last time I talked with him he's going to let VMP do the tuning since he didn't want to send out the PCM. I've seen a Magnacharger vehicle on the dyno, Black3V's truck, and it wasn't too impressive in any aspect on the "stock" Magnacharger tune.
