I took my reinforcement off and well air gets in front of all you car when it goes into your bumper so essentially it is covering it and was gonna ask you guys if it's worth running a heat shield for the intake underneath and also I've always wondered after how many miles do we need to change the supercharger oil? Don't worry I haven't had the kit on for too many miles lol

Belt/Fluid/Filter is every 50,000 miles per Rotrex, but honestly, I would cut that in half. I went through belts every 20-25k miles anytime I did that I changed fluid & filter.

Heat at the intake were my issues during the dyno tune. I 'm not so sure heat would be a problem at speed. But on the dyno, a floor fan is going to help a lot! I did not have a floor fan when I tried tuning with the 88mm pulley. Hence, I could not get power out of that pulley.
Back to the drawing board.
