Default Supercharging of Knoxville

What happened to Supercharging of Knoxville? Did they change their name or go out of business? If they are still around I'd appreciate some contact info. Thanks

Thanks Sonny, Sorry to hear the news. Wayne's book had some nice comments about their installs. I am torn between a NA buildup and a supercharger...don't like the turbo's much...I prefer a more linear torque curve from low to high revs. Going Motec in the spring on my 3.8/LTW flywheel setup and would like to add a few more bits to try and reach the 350HP with >300ft/lbs torque mark. I'd use 9M's new heads/cams , but I would have to revert to 3.6L displacement.

A buddy of mine and I have been running our TPC supercharged 993s for a while now. Lots of quirks with the system in the beginning stages... but TPC has made some major improvements... 1) Intercooler 2) New belts 3) Unichip replacing that crappy Split Second box.

What should be changed is that 7th injector and run larger 6 injectors. Yes the 7th injector is used to cool the charge air. But with the proper intercooler and tuning you'll be perfectly fine.
