My stupid *** decided to (as soon as I got the Stillen SC in my car back when I had the red Z before any other mods was done to it)... I took that thing for a spin and dare I say ... I went as crazy as going 140 MPH in the rain on the highway coming from an on ramp entering the freeway around 10 PM at night. I'll never forget that night. The tires slipped as soon as I gassed it and surprisingly caught traction the entire rest of the way -- and mind you the rain was pouring hard that night. Long story short -- Supercharger was dry (: Will I ever attempt that crazy feat again? HAIL NAWH! Do I feel good about surviving it and was I lucky? HAIL YEAH!

@topgunz
Do you know off the top of your head if Z1 has ever installed one these kits? Any problems? I’m having second thoughts due to their Uprev tuning as opposed to Ecutech. While they are relatively local, they're not exactly around the corner. It looks like it takes a couple of flashes to get the tune right, and I really don’t have the time (nor ambition) to drive 90 minutes (both ways) if 5hit is going to go south. I’m not down on them, they did a great job for me, but I’m a little skittish about stuff I know nothing about. |

I wouldnt worry about rain. Has anyone seen the BP kit??? That filter sits under the car and there have never been any issues. I had that kit and I ran it in the rain. Guys purposely inject water into their intake systems to cool the intake charge. Do not fear the rain.
Now traction in the rain is a completely different story. I had Toyo R888's and I went into a complete hydroplane going 55 mph. Dont drive like an idiot and idiotic things wont happen.

The BP and older GTM. Superchargers kits have filters very low .... I daily drive both and didn’t think twice about the rain ... you shouldnt have any issues ... traction on the other hand can be a issue if you get aggressive with it ... but normal driving is safe
