Default Speed Force S2 Supercharger, Who actually has one?

I would like to hear from someone who has bought one of these and insalled it in their S2. I am looking for the good and the bad on these. Also do you get to to retain your AC unit or not?

I don't have one, I wish though...on that note i also wish i had an S2 too However i am pretty sure you don't retain the A/C. But don't quote me on that...someone else can confirm or just drop Tim an email....

Later!

Erich is right, with the SFR supercharger, you lose your A/C (it's where the SC mounts). Not too many people on the list are running around with an SC'd car though.

Yea the only guy i've heard of is fairly new, he used the Huntley kit to SC his 924S. Which does retain the A/C, however Huntley recently went out of business...not that id buy anything from them anyways...

what kind of gains did you get out of the super charger? Also what kind of problems did you have with it? I am considering a Supercharger and i would like to learn as much from those that actually have one.

well.. stock it is 147 and after the supercharger it gets 210.
the biggest problem they had was the old DME had a short in it somewhere and kept overheating burning out an old repair someone tried to do to the chip.. so replaced the DME and tuned it and works fine now..
the biggest problem i had with huntely is they took forever getting to my car.. they had some other car to do first and it took them about a month before they could get to my car..

So all in all if you had it to do over again would you do it again?
