After watching this video (which I enjoyed) I did a youtube search on the supercharger. Why is it so hard to find factual data with video to support it on the results. I stumbled across one video who proves the improved power by standing on the brakes and smoking the rear tires. Another video has the driver racing up and down a back road behind the shop. I'm sorry, but I've seen kids do that on 10 speeds so why I am supposed to be impressed? If I am going to shell out $7K shouldn't someone be showing me something a little more impressive? Maybe I am just looking in the wrong spots. Please point me in the right direction so I know where to spend my bonus cheque.

The purpose of this video was to show how to install the supercharger, not really showcase the numbers etc. Everyone can make a burn out video as you say, but no one has broken down the install as we have.

We have taped lots of other footage that will provide answers to what you're looking for. For instance, we did a before and after dyno-run and the results will be in the video (the actual dyno screen shots).

Stay tuned..

These are purchased and installed for much less than $7k.

Feel free to spend $7K on my truck.

The videos were pretty interesting. Nice to see how this one goes in the truck.

I guess I exaggerated a bit, $6000 plus. Isn't the cost $5300 plus installation?

I understood the purpose of the original video and I am looking foward to the follow up.

I have a feeling the bonus cheque will be going towards a hot tub anyway. Seems the better-half doesn't understand the importance of an ear to ear grin while driving.
