I'm interested to see how things go Timp, I have an X as well so I would love to the see the potential of where my car could go. I hate the transmission though my 7at is just really blah as I'm sure you know, I'm curious to feel the difference in the car with something like the VB upgrade, 900 isn't a bad price did you write up a DIY or does it come with instruction, I really thought that the 7at couldn't be serviced other than by the dealership at least thats what I was told so how did you fill it back up with fluid and that sort of thing?

Question for the experts on forced induction.
Can the drive shaft/pistons/rings, etc., 7at transmission, and the rear differential handle the extra force put on them by a supercharger without the need for upgrade?

There are guys like Coop running stock driveshaft & rear end, raping his car on the drag strip with no issues (knock on wood) and there are other like a certain moderator on here who shall remain nameless (a bit grumpy, posts like we're in the 16th century) who lost a CV boot I believe doing a few hard launches. So it's really a hit or miss.
Engine wise, it's mostly in the tune and boost levels. Transmission wise, you'll need an oil cooler and a valve body upgrade maybe?

i know a lot of people arent very into the stillen super charger... well maybe some are but that is a direct bolt on kit just get it tuned the right way and you can use all the stock parts. now i just order the gtm twin turbo setup which will put about 500 to the wheels all stock if tuned the right way just depends on pref as to which youd rather have.

Kit numbers
Aparently right now the belt has to be fabricated and so you are stuck using the stock pully. Numbers are around 450 whp and 380 trq. Considering most of our cars only hit that 380 number over 520whp this kit should be a tire eatting monster. Once a new pully is on with proper tuning i have no doubt you will be approaching 450 to 500 trq. Cant wait to see this thing pulling on v8's at a drag strip.
Unless iam wrong about the numbers sam
