Supercharger Set-up

[RockinJW]

I went to the Intermountain Snow Show in Salt Lake City yesterday and spent some time talking to Mac with Mountain Performance getting some info on there new supercharger set-up for the phazers.

I gotta tell you, that is one slick looking add-on. Said his Stage I kit will do around 130hp on premium fuel, and the Stage II will do 160hp+ with some race fuel mix. The thing I liked the most about it was that it all fit under the stock panels. The only part of the entire system that shows is the intercooler that mounts on that flat upright area between the front a-arms.

When money becomes available I'll be ordering one for sure. Plus, it'll be completely lag free, unlike a turbo set-up.

He tell you prices? I believe I called and it was right around 5500. Little more expensive than the turbos from other companies.

He didn't say at the show, but when I talked to them on thephone last week, they told me around $4100 for the Stage I kit.The stage II would be more...

Hmm interesting. Let me know anything further you learn. Are superchargers easier to set up than turbos?

I'm not sure on set-up. I've never done a turbo or supercharger install on a sled before. He said that the average mechanic could install it though.

And sorry, no pics. I'm sure they'll have info up on their website soon enough. mountainperformance.com

He also said that they've sold more RX-1 and Apex supercharger kits than all of the turbocharger companies put together.
