I wonder if Rotorex is there way to dip into the centrifugal market as well...

Hmmm... I was thinking the easiest route would be to ditch the A/C compressor and use the bracketry to mount the S/C. Switch the airbox and the battery places and use a front mount intercooler that has an in/out on each end. This way your piping would be super short and the I/C would benefit more being mounted vertically on the front of the truck instead of layed back where it won't recieve as much air flow. Also, hot air will rise in the engine bay and might lead to heat soak at lower speeds with the I/C on top of the engine. Just my $0.02

Because I don't like typing length explinations I found a little clip for ya'll:

Sure we're talking about the same mag? I've been getting it since '98 and the've done nothing but slam the big wings (and other ricer type tendancies). Sure you weren't reading Super Street or Import Tuner by mistake?

Having a sc under the hood of my runner would be awesome... I am sick of the low HP...
I don't think that MPG would suffer that much... I could not immgane losing much as from many other kits that put about 5psi to 7psi they are only lossing about .5mpg at the most

Have there been any replies from Boostec or DOA? or any new news for the sp30? I found this a real interesting thread and if it sounds feasible, I would definitly be interested in getting a set-up for my 3.slow if the price was right.

I couldn't send the email to Boostec for some reason. You can try if you'd like. It's Boostec@msn.com. While it's something I really want, I need it to already be in kit form with everything needed to get it up and running. I don't have the time or the money to do all the research right now. I was hoping that one of you guys who did have the time or money would figure it out and by the time I got around to it, I'd be able to ask questions from those who already had done it.
