RJ MFG Supercharger kit Feeler...
 
Everyone is concerned about the subtlety of the hood design. I'm more of the opinion of it works.... in reality a full hood replacement will be the best option for the majority. I'm still keen on the initial rendering personally. However finding someone competent enough to complete the install well will cost the same as a full hood replacement. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...915e225b67.jpg

Guys install will be super easy! Like do it in your garage easy! Like not have to be on jack stands... you simply pull your current intake setup out. Pull off your bumper and crash bar. Bolt in the heat exchanger, reservoir tank and lines. Then drop in the lower intake manifold unit once that is in you bolt on the fuel rail section with your new injectors, the rest of the unit can be preassembled on a bench then dropped in and bolted down. Hook up your intake and lines. Then fill the fluids up flash the car double check everything and start the car...

Should take less than 8 hours to install in your garage if your a competent mechanic.

That's good to know! I have never done an install but that doesn't sound too bad. Will they offer the hoods in a pre painted option?

As of right now I don't think they will. Most people ask this question and when I ran UAM it was the most asked question. The problem with pre paint is they don't have your car there to match to. There are several shades to each color especially pearl white... it's less risky for a customer service perspective to not paint them. If paint is scratched during shipping or if it doesn't match it can be a nightmare on their end!

And the clutch to hold said 500whp?

Think Torque not hp... Torque is what breaks parts... at 500whp you will be at ~400ftlbs...

James10694 02-25-2017 07:39 PM

Awesome! I guess everyone can stick with the stock clutch for this build which eliminates dropping the tranny during install!

I think that will vary. Some folks have gotten by for a while with the OEM clutch... But I only make 412 ft-lb and mine started letting go on the dyno.

RadioFlyer 02-25-2017 11:29 PM

Yeah, I'm only at ~400whp and my clutch was slipping.

James10694 02-26-2017 03:12 AM

I guess I was being overly sarcastic :icon23:
