I wasn't very knowledgeable about methane injection before this so I didn't know what to expect with methane consumption. It turned out to be very little unless you're really hammering on the car. In normal driving I might use one tank in 3-4 months. Pushing it hard over a couple of days during a Rennsport Dragon Rally it consumed about 3/4 of a tank. I believe R&R sized the meth tank to allow you a full day at the track without having to do a refill.
Note that you might need to change or eliminate your catalytic converters (I did). Also note that the supercharger oil should be changed every 5K miles and required the rear bumper to be removed for access. Not a big deal for me but worth noting.

I've had mine for about 11 months and just over 5K miles and absolutely love it. Customer service has been fantastic. The extra power is incredible and yet the car is still very drivable on the street.

I've been meaning to post a review of my car, as I also went with the RR supercharger kit and made a handful of other mods around the same time. I've had the supercharger on my 991 S for about 9 months (I was the 2nd customer after tempus fugit, and first customer with a manual transmission). Overall, same thoughts as above, the extra power is perfect and has truly transformed the car, makes for an epic combination with the manual transmission and catless Soul exhaust. Prior to the SC, I was not overly thrilled with the car and was planning on trading-in for something that was a bit more hardcore and with more power. Now, those thoughts of trading-in are gone. The power and overall level of intensity and perfect for the street, if feels like how the 991 should have come from the factory. The power delivery is still NA-like, and builds and builds with the revs, but still provides plenty of thrust at the lower RPMs, manageable level of power with the grip that these 991s have. The stage 2 kit is tempting, but I think the power now is perfect for my uses, but I'll likely go with it later this year (why not!). I haven't taken the car to the track, but I know Rafi (the developer) has many times. I'm not particularly concerned about longevity of the engine or transmission, I think the additional strain the supercharger puts on the drivetrain is modest and well within the limits, and I tend to drive responsibly.

Nice to hear these reviews. I am contemplating going this route down the road. I currently have a 997 and love the look of the 991.1. I don't like the 991.2 nor 992 and this is a great alternative. Where in Jersey are you, perhaps a test drive or if you are looking to sell could be mutually beneficial.
