After dealing with so many other supercharger system over the years. belt issues was always a problem with a lot of them. So we went to extreme masseurs in our design strategy to make sure that belt slippage and brake wont happened. Our system have about 80 % belt rap around the pulley which is really unheard of. So to this day I"m happy to report there has been ZERO problems with our belt set up .

For street use (including spirited driving on country roads), Stage 1 would be plenty for me. I also like that the boost is only 8 psi. Does that boost level pretty much hold across the rev-range and power/torque bands?

Sam...what are your thoughts on this kind of tune holding up on the auto tranny? That would be amazing IMO if it could work out well....
I know that its the same 7AT that is also in the 390hp FX50... |

Now, with the older VQ's, 8 psi was just about right to keep a nice level of reliability on a daily driver with stock internals on pump gas. I wonder what's a good amount for our newer VQ37's?

Well the newer VQs have a stronger set of internals so at least we know we can run what the older VQs did safely and 8psi isn't too shabby.

GTM vs. Stillen
Not to be desparaging against any one vendor, but barring any wires that will no longer be there, which engine bay would you rather have? Yes, this is a rhetorical question.
