thanx
Here is some things to look at.
The blower wheel is going to be hauling ***, notice the size difference in the pulleys. I am guessing the blower pulley is direct drive, so no internal stepping of gears. So you need to find out how fast is turning, and how hot the air was coming out of it.
warranty etc
completeness and support of the product.
Get them on the phone.
I have read about the kit, but have never seen one. The things that I find interesting is most thread owners talk about the noise of the blower. it is suppose to be pretty freaking loud.


What year is your truck, I like turbos better.

"Let's tie it up and drag it behind our truck!"
You better not be refering to my post because there's been 3 or 4 guys who have "tested" this supercharger and posted their results. 2 of the guys liked it and said for the price it's worth it. One guy ended up having issues with the supercharger and had to send it back to have it rebuilt. The 4th guy had some kind of oiling issue and also needed to have it replaced.

It's a good supercharger if you're a cheap ***, but you won't even save much money in the long run. It doesn't support much boost. There is little product support. It comes with minimal accessories which you'll need to add down the line unless you run 4 pounds of boost.

So don't worry CHIEF, I'm not just saying it's shitty because it's cheap. I've read plenty on them.

Why didn't you elaborate a little on your first post, tough guy?

I think my post was plenty clear and descriptive. You just decided to call me out on it and then I described further.

If you want to learn more just search for Wynjammer on here. Not all of us just look at something different and assume it's ****, I do have some basis for my comments.

I'm sure you have seen Chris post on gmfs...he sent his back two or three times for broken crap on it.
The thing is a joke IMO.
