I should've done this earlier!

Well, I installed my Cartech 20005 today (thanks Jim!). That's the best $$$ I EVER spent on thie supercharger setup (besides the Map mod and the upgrade pulley, thanks again Jim!)

Immediately after installing it and starting it up to check for leaks, I noticed that my B&M FP gauge was ROCK SOLID. No psi variation at all. It used to jump around 3-5 psi all the time when I had my JR FMU.

I set the static to 52 psi (it's something like 48 idle, i think), and the rise rate adjustment to about 1 turn from full counterclockwise. Jim said that this would put me at about the same rise rate as my JR FMU. It did.

Driving impressions: The car ran just like it did before, except I turned my BTC down to 0 (from 1-2 clicks) and I wouldn't even get pinging at full throttle in 5th gear (my boost gauge peaks at around 11 psi)!

Off the line driving is FUN once again. 5th gear pulls pretty crazy between 70-80 on the freeway too!

Can't wait to tune on the dyno now. . .
