Knightsports Supercharger Kit

Pling!
Went through the whole thread, very good work! Looks like maybe the most cost efficient might be to get the SC, then build the rest yourself? Am I right?
I have a 6 port manual, does it look like your setup could keep up to 9000RPM with current pulleys? Or does the air coming from SC/intercooler get too hot? Maybe belt slippage will be an issue as well?

In all honesty, its fking hard work, lots of blood sweat and tears, not to mention alot of cash. In the end you get something you call your own, Power wise its pretty average , reliability you are scared most of the time.
For the money spent alone on the supercharger kit you can get a much better car.
This is downright the brutal and honest truth.
But if you want to pursue it, the belt starts slipping at 8.3 - 8.5k rpm with current pulley setup. But you are way above the optimal efficiency of the SC. You may need to go one size larger to the new C ranges. But good luck finding room.
