The Reinhart supercharger kit is now resident in my MM! The package that Dennis has put together is simply outstanding and included the opportunity to have Zack do the installation. Zack was an excellent choice to perform the installation as he was just as enthused about the project as I was. During the installation he never failed to keep me informed and maintain my confidence at a high level. His attention to detail is superb as he made several improvements that truly enhanced the overall fit and finish.

Enough about the installation, how does it run?

First, the weather here has been crap since I picked up the car up over a week ago and further compounded by worked related travel. I have waited to report until I had some seat time and could give some worthy comments. Today, we had about four hours of dry weather where I could go out and beat on it a bit.

With this kit, the car remains very streetable and will drive normally if driven in that mode. On the other hand, hit the hammer and BAM, your gone. Instant perma grin!

Zack also installed the Cobra manifolds, x pipe and hi flow cats but I elected to keep the stock mufflers. Personally, I like the new growl and db level but also appreciate the relative quiet stealth. I have not had any trans mods done and it seems that improvement here will allow the new engine mods to reach their full potential. You can bet it's next on the list.

Count me as another satisfied supercharger customer and I look forward to more fair weather.

Marks install went very well and turned out way better than my car. This is due to the constant refinements Dennis and I have made to the kit. Installation is straight forward and I pulled this one off in about half the time my car took. I take meticulous care when installing the kit, and I even took it to the dyno to make sure the air/fuel ratio was good. Thank you Mark and I am awaiting a Red Marauder from Pennslyvania in December. This car will get everything. Im still available for hire if anyone needs ANYTHING done to their car.

Wow. I'm guessing the Marauder holds up pretty well to a Super Charger. What kind of numbers (hp, torque) are these cars putting up with this modification?

I'm guessing Zack has more done that just the Super Charger.. Those are very impressive numbers..
