Supercharged!!!!!
Alright I couldn't contain my joy. Josh sent me pictures of my car last night and I've been hearing supercharger whines all night. Hopefully, it will be done in the next few days and I'll have more pictures and some videos. BTW, the guys at A&A are freaking epic. Highly recommended.

I can't run meth because of Smog. This will be Smog legal. I did a Secondary/8 Rib upgrade. I did just about everything I could while the engine was taken apart. Including somehow buying sway bars!

They do the take apart dance. I dont want to ever do that again! I did that with my MR2 and it was a nightmare and it still failed twice. This way I get it CARB legal, take it to a ref and get my sticker... then Ill start having some more fun because Ill be all good at that point.

Congrats on the A&A. I'll be getting one of those flip-drives soon.....
You can run meth and not worry about smog. Just use the windshield washer tank, and the kit is not even noticeable. I've never removed one piece of my Alky control kit..nor has any other of my 5-6 friends with supercharged Vette's

Congrats on the setup Matty! You will love it! I did have a question though:
Curious why you went with an 8 rib and flip drive? IIRC, aren't you running a V3Si with no plans for an upgrade? If that is the case, you probably could have saved a ton of money...you don't need either of them with the amount of boost you are running!
My old setup was a V3Si, 3.4 pulley, stock 6 rib setup, and 11.5 PSI. No belt slip at all! A buddy of mine ran a T-trim, 14 psi, stock 6 rib, and never had any slip either!

The guys at A&A gave me an awesome package deal and I needed all new pulleys (I had a bunch of squeakers and a big wobbler.) It ended up working out really well for me thanks again to Andy.
BTW: I love Boise. Gorgeous city.

I don't know if we all do the take apart and dance but we definitely have friends in low places or we live in Julian. 
Congrats on your new setup man.
I'm sure it will give you many miles of enjoyment!!

Very nice and welcome the F/I club! 
Was an awesome decision to go with the A&A Reverse Drive = No problems with belt slip!
In for your final results!
Thanks,Matt
