I am surprised you did not do the manifold update or is there not real gain with a superchager?

It does help, I just wanna do upgrades later on, if I do all at once then there is no fun :) lol.

The M50 manifold with a supercharger actually has even more impressive gains then N/A. I think one guy claimed 30ish whp in before after dyno. Gotta love it

Well I'm doing my dyno on the 18th, after that I will do the M50 manifold and re dyno the car...I'll let you know if It yields any gains ...

Let me know, I am in the market to do that while I am working on my bushings and suspension.

300 whp is respectable, especially at VF's price point. very nice.

Interested in taking a fellow BF.C member for a test drive. I wanted to see how much better the VF kit than my Powerdyne Dinan kit.

What I hear is they seem to get more HP out of a 6psi system.

I am in the area for work all the time. I will PM you next time I am heading up there.

Very impressive, Matt! Can't wait to see your car in person! Did you install the kit yourself? Is it CARB certified?

I think I already know the answer to this, but I can be hopeful anyway - if CARB approval is pending, do you know if it is ok to get the kit now instead of waiting?
