About an additional 115 hp and 90 lbs or torque. It's a Vortech V3SQ centrifugal.

Well evening update...

I'm 90 percent complete. I was snapping pictures of each step till the wife got home. She came out to ask what i was doing... I told her I was rewiring my lights that I took off 2 weeks ago... She doesn't know, and nobody's telling, got it!!!
p:

So the SC is in and loosely bolted in... I have to bring it forward about 1/8" to make sure the belts line up before tighting her down. Wiring, piping, and everything else is done except for getting the belt over the last damn pulley... I need a 250 lb buddy to help me with that I think... Tomorrow I'll bust out the ratchet strap to assist in loosening it up some more. I still have three spark plugs to change out. The Water/Methanol injector is hooked up, but not powered yet, I'll do that tomorrow too.

So the to do list for tomorrow is:
1. Get belt the rest of the way on. Curse some.
2. Change 3 plugs. Curse some.
3. Try to get the belt on some again.
4. Work on last spark plug
5. Wire the boost injector.
6. Actually mount and rewire the Hella's

For now, I'm sore, my back hurts, my hands are shaped like claws and I'm tired... Going to enjoy one of these and relax for the evening.

I had a few issues today, just finally wrapped things up and WOW! THIS THING FAWKIN' ROCKS!!!

I just got back from a 30 minute drive. Mixed highway, surface streets, a couple of downtown blocks, and residential. No Issues!

I never had to give more than a third throttle in any of the areas I was in, most of the time 1/4 was fine. Of course I ddi bury it once... (oops).
