The car will be going up to Cobb in a couple of weeks.
We are all going to work hard for SSX.

I'm still working on the new test bench, got lots of new instrements to go on it.
We have 4 airspeed indicators two use hot wire the others use vanes.
So many pressure and temp gauges I lost track.
We have a frequency controled 40hp motor.
Two digital tachs.

All we need is for me to build the drive and the bench, add the dashboard and run some more power over to the right spot.

Canzoomer useful?

This may be out of left field, but I have a Canzoomer unit sitting around.

Any thought of loading the correct maps into that and using that to control fuel and timings needed to get the AFSC working?

There is probably alot of those units sitting around.

( I guess this is about as on topic as we get for now.)

For now I'd assume he cant back out of the deal with cobb. He's tried a few units, forgot which though. The deal with cobb seems to be in process so unless that doesnt work out, he has no reason to change his mind on what to use. Using cobb seems like a good deal to me though.

I can't wait to see this supercharger come to fruition. Now, if only Cobb would hurry up.

Richard has tried them, both the emanage ( what a canzoomer is ) and interceptor X. He's going with cobb so he can do a reflash, keep prices down and keep the flexibility of the stock pcm.

There will be a "Search Kit" going out with every supercharger, powered by your finger for free.

I should be picking up an RX8 soon, this is something I'm most interested in, my last car had an aftermarket procharger, but having something that is tuned by cobb and a new compact SC design? That sounds like fun to me as long as the power output is good.
