    What about fuel mapping and engine management? Seems to be the biggest bugaboo in my Alpine installation. Maddening.

    Nice, do they have any pictures/videos of the install posted anywhere?!

    I love it! It looks like the Rotrex fits a lot better than the Powerdyne that Morgen-Tec was using in his Axiom...

    good workmanship and design on brackets, measure 7 times before making a cut/hole/move/install))) will make things work and look nice.

    I have a few questions:
    How much boost?
    What engine management is he using?
    Usually, a draw through MAF with a non-recirculated BOV will cause issues with stalling. Does he have this issue?

    centrifugal superchargers won't produce as much torque on the lower rpms as twin screw SCs do. They do produce good top end HP though. IMO low end torque is much more usable. Hence a twin screw or turbo setup would be much better. That's what pretty much every OEM is doing FYI on FI cars.

    Have you tried upgrading your 4l30e with parts from Level 10 (or some other performance transmission shop)?

    Level 10 is a high performance transmission shop located in New Jersey, USA. They make rebuild kits as well.

    Nope. Not touching it with a 20' pole. I've seen very, very few good things come from modding a n/a car for forced induction. And it's even worse when the n/a has such a small cluster of vendor support--that you're having to fab everything & find working solutions for everything...on your own.

    I'm keeping my VX's powertrain 100% stock.
