I haven't read through this entire thread but wondering what the cost is on this Supercharger upgrade. If anyone has a ballpark total figure, including clutch upgrade and whatever else is necessary that would be cool. Just trying to get a wish list together.

Clutch/Flywheel installed is probably around $1000-1200.

All of you Midwest guys, we're going to be running some great package deals on this kit + installation once it hits the market in the coming weeks, just so ya know

Shameless plug! *lol* If I didn't know that you were the 'best in the midwest' I would probably call you out for it... But, the guys can't go wrong having you do the install.

Hey, having never owned a supercharged car before, I'm curious. How much parasitic drag does the SC hardware put on the revving speed of the motor? In other words, does it have a noticeable negative impact on the speed of the revs or not really?

I've driven a 350Z with a Vortech blower, and didn't notice any difference in 'rev-a-bility' ™. Of course the one I drove had an aftermarket clutch/fly, so...

Which is what I was going to say to RCZ...I doubt much would be lost but either way with the power we make we might as well start looking towards a nice street/track setup for clutch/flywheel which should speed up the overall rev's after the SC install.

That is an interesting question and one that I don't think has ever really been tested beyond the calibrated seat of the pants tests. Personally, I've not noticed a difference that I could actually feel.
Here are some pictures of the production cast aluminum manifolds and some of the support brackets making their way into the machine shop. Also you can see some of the billet aluminum end tanks in the mill going through their first op. The machining of the intake manifold is an 8 operation process. The mounting bracket is a piece of billet aluminum which is waterjet cut then comes back to the machine shop for drilling and tapping and finishing. The end tanks are also billet aluminum and are only a two operation process but the machine marks left behind in the aluminum are beautiful and really make the intercooler pop!
