Dollar has taken a hit against greenback so it's getting a bit expensive unfortunately

The sprintex sc has been great! I have about 5k miles on it with a soft tune for break in. I plan on turning up boost from the current 4 pounds to around 7 pounds which sprintex recommended as being safe for the 3.8! Even at only 4 pounds the acceleration is awesome and the whine of the sc pretty awesome! I have countless people on the road try to race me in a JEEP! Lol It's really nice having the extra get up and go speed and I highly recommend sprintex.

7lbs??! I just upgraded to the intercooler on my Sprintex'd 3.8L. I haven't gotten the tune loaded yet. I'm excited to see what it will do with the intercooler. I have good pull until I hit about 4k, then it didn't have the wind behind it. I'm curious to see what this new, smaller pulley will do!

The supercharger has a good whine to it when you get on it like around 3-4 grand and at idle you can tell its supercharged. The highway you can only hear it if you get on it like to pass a vehicle or something in that nature that you would need to punch it to pass. The supercharger has more low end power then top end but I'm hoping my new tune I'll be getting will help at the top end power on the 3.8. Currently, I'm running a soft tune so just with the added power from stock its a different 3.8. It's a blast to drive and I have driven the 3.6 and nothing compares to a supercharger....that much difference can't imagine what extra boost will bring. I do have 4.88 gears too so that helps as well....
