Just wanted to ask out there regarding bullet supercharger kits, there have been a few negative comments on various forums. Anyone had experience with them

I recently installed one of their HTV2300 kits. Lets say it's not entirely plug and play, had a bit of fab work to ensure 100% fitment.

Also had a minor issue of incorrect drive belt being sent, but other than that I am very happy with their product

What kind of stuff needed to be done to make it work? Was thinking of one of their kits.}

Some chipping away and fabbing of the front water neck to fit the charger, also not a lot of room back near the firewall where they tell you to run the fuel rail bridge

Hi,what performance gains are you getting from the supercharger? What 1/4 times would you now expect?
Thanks.

146kw stock, now 265kw with charger. 12 degrees of timing pulled due to high air temps, so plenty of room for more power once air is cooled. Current pulley delivers 15psi at 2000rpm

Nice setup. I'm assuming you ran no filter for power run ? airbox is first thing I would ditch.

Stock filter left in place, it has great flow. Too much risk to run without

Great flow ? compared to what ? See how you go, you aren't making much power yet so see what happens when you get some cooler air. Look at what the supercharged Coyote motors run, the Supercharged LSA's all the supercharged chrysler hemi's. Gives some good ideas.

Compared to a pod they have great flow.

Average pod filter setup is sucking 50-90 degree hot engine bay air, especially at slower speeds, unless you build up an ugly cold air box. (I've measured this with temperature probes in different places)

Or just enjoy the factory air box that gets a nice cold air feed from under the headlight, looks nice and uses proper replaceable filters with a good filtration medium.
